Additional options:
Inline 5 Micron Sediment Filter
Adding a sediment filter before the carbon filter is highly recommended as the carbon filter doesn’t actually clean the water but just removes chlorine via chemical reactions. This filter is easy to add to your existing setup as it just uses the same quick connections as is just placed inline before the normal fridge filter. The filter catches most visible particles and with most supplies, you would believe how much dirt the filter actually catches. The filters typically have a lifespan of 6 – 12 months.

The In-line Sediment Filter is to prevent a situation like this picture where a fridge filter was completely clogged within a month on Pretoria water. Our warranty doesn’t cover filters for poor water quality.
Nano Silver Coconut Carbon Upgrade
The Nano Silver particles in this filter prevents bacteria from growing out of control on the Carbon inside the filter. This has a few advantages, firstly you don’t have the effect of getting more and more bacteria over time from the bacteria sitting in the filter and multiplying. (this does happen with normal fridge filters and is the main reason why you need to replace them every 6 months.) The second advantage is that for most people the lower bacteria levels mean that you can keep the filter for 12 months. The filter does however not function as a barrier for bacteria. This filter replaces the normal Generic External Fridge Filter.

Inline Ultra Filtration (UF) Membrane
Ultra Filtration is the finest that you can filter without starting to wastewater as Nano Filtration or Reverse Osmosis does. This Makes it ideal as a final stage feeding into a fridge as it doesn’t require modifications and just fits inline as a normal external fridge filter would. The big advantage with ultra-filtration is that it serves as a physical barrier that is small enough to physically stop bacteria from entering the fridge. This filter typically has a lifespan of 12 months.
