This is a highlight different from conventional filters. - 【Energy Conservation】This scale inhibitor can protect your water heater, dishwasher, boilers, downstream plumbing fixtures like faucets and shower heads from scale buildup while improving the efficiency of electrical appliances, and extending their life. - 【High Flow Rate】3/4 " NPT inlet/outlet ensures high flow rate of 10 GPM to keep stable water pressure. This scale inhibitor system can be installed on any pipeline adaptive to its interface. - 【Premium Material】This scale inhibitor system is equipped with a durable and anti-rusting 304 stainless steel adapter. Besides, its food-grade and BPA-free materials safeguard healthy water. Please note - this system is NOT a regular pre-filter. So it doesn't force all the water through the filter like a normal filter. Only a portion of the source water will flow through the filter to absorb food-grade polyphosphates for better filtration. - 【Longer Lifespan】Enjoy purified water with this inline scale inhibition system. Every water cartridge can last for 6 months for regular use, which may vary based on local water quality. Please maintain this scale inhibitor system in an upright position during installation to get better inhibition effect. Be sure to install this system on a cold water supply line that supplies water to a water heater. - Included Components：3/4” NPT inlet/outlet connection, Replacement Cartridge*1.
