Orders that ship directly from a manufacturer normally have a firm shipping estimate but those dates are subject to change due to manufacturer production, inventory or shipping. We do our best to estimate ship dates but orders shipping directly from the manufacturer can have unexpected delays. We will confirm tracking information when orders ship directly from a manufacturer but may not have updates or estimates beyond the original estimate. Once your order is placed with the manufacturer, it may not be able to be cancelled even if it hasn't shipped yet.

Special Case Shipping Rates
Please note that shipping rates are subject to change at any time. We reserve the right to charge an additional fee in addition to the regularly advertised shipping fee for shipping to remote areas not easily accessible by typical freight carrier means (i.e. islands only accessible by ferry). If your order falls into this category, you will be notified upon receipt of your order, and have the option to complete the purchase with additional fee or to cancel the order. Please note, these instances are very rare, as most locations are reachable by regular freight. If you have any questions, please contact us!

FAQ
Q: How often should I replace my PF5M prefilter?
A: Great question! We generally recommend swapping out your PF5M every six months to keep your water tasting fresh and your system running smoothly. But here's the thing - every water source is unique, kind of like a fingerprint. If you're in an area with particularly sediment-heavy water, you might need to change it more frequently. On the flip side, if your water is already pretty clean, you might be able to stretch it a bit longer. The key is to pay attention to your water flow. If it starts to slow down noticeably, it's probably time for a change. Don't worry, though - with our easy-change system, swapping out the filter is a breeze. It's all about keeping your water flowing and your taste buds happy!
Q: Can I install the PF5M myself, or do I need to call in the pros?
A: We love your DIY spirit! The PF5M is designed with user-friendly installation in mind. Our kit comes with everything you need, including a detailed installation guide that walks you through the process step-by-step. It's typically a straightforward job that doesn't require specialized tools. However, if you're dealing with a complex setup or if plumbing isn't your forte, there's no shame in calling in a pro. Remember, proper installation is key to getting the best performance out of your prefilter. And hey, if you do tackle it yourself, you'll have some serious bragging rights!
Q: What certifications does this prefilter have?
A: The Elkay PF5M is tested and certified to NSF/ANSI 42 for aesthetic effects and NSF/ANSI 372 for material safety and lead-free compliance, ensuring structural integrity.
NOTICE: Do not use with water that is unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection either before or after the system.
