This NSF-certified filter cartridge delivers comprehensive contaminant reduction while maintaining excellent flow rates, providing an essential defense against emerging trace pharmaceuticals and other contaminants that conventional filtration often misses, ensuring healthier, better-tasting water in commercial and institutional settings.

Key Specifications:

• Pharmaceutical Reduction Technology: Certified to NSF/ANSI 401 standards for the reduction of 12 specific pharmaceutical compounds including Atenolol, Bisphenol A, Carbamazepine, DEET, Estrone, Ibuprofen, and more.
• Comprehensive Filtration: Additional NSF/ANSI certifications for the reduction of chlorine, taste, odor, particulates, lead, cysts, and microplastics, ensuring multi-contaminant protection beyond pharmaceuticals.
• Performance Rating: 1.50 gallons per minute flow rate with 725-gallon (2,744L) capacity and filtration down to 0.5 micron, balancing effective contaminant reduction with efficient water delivery.
• Compatible Design: Uses the same filter head (#041146-001) as the VersaFilter III system, allowing for easy installation across multiple Oasis water cooler and bottle filler models.

Features & Benefits:

• Protection Against Emerging Contaminants: Reduces exposure to trace pharmaceuticals and endocrine-disrupting chemicals increasingly found in water supplies, addressing growing concerns about these compounds in drinking water.
• Enhanced Water Quality: Significantly improves taste, odor, and appearance of drinking water while reducing multiple contaminants down to 0.5 micron, encouraging increased hydration and satisfaction.

FAQ

Q: What pharmaceuticals and compounds does this filter cartridge reduce?

A: The 041670-001 cartridge is NSF/ANSI 401 certified to reduce 12 specific pharmaceutical compounds and chemicals: Atenolol (a beta-blocker), Bisphenol A (BPA, a plastic component), Carbamazepine (an anticonvulsant), DEET (an insect repellent), Estrone (a hormone), Ibuprofen (an NSAID pain reliever), Meprobamate (an anxiolytic), Metolachlor (a herbicide), Naproxen (an NSAID), Nonyl phenol (a surfactant), Phenytoin (an anticonvulsant), and Trimethoprim (an antibiotic). This comprehensive approach addresses many of the most common pharmaceutical compounds detected in water supplies.

Q: Why should I be concerned about pharmaceuticals in drinking water?

A: Trace amounts of pharmaceuticals and personal care products increasingly enter water supplies through human excretion, improper disposal, agricultural runoff, and manufacturing processes. These compounds may not be fully removed by municipal water treatment. While concentrations are typically very low, there are growing concerns about potential long-term health effects, especially for vulnerable populations. Some compounds, like hormones and endocrine disruptors, may potentially cause effects even at extremely low concentrations. The 041670-001 cartridge provides an additional layer of protection against these emerging contaminants.

Q: Is this cartridge compatible with my existing Oasis water system?

A: The 041670-001 cartridge is designed to work with Oasis water coolers and bottle fillers that have been equipped with the #041146-001 filter head (the same head used for the VersaFilter III system). It's compatible with numerous Oasis models when the appropriate filter head is installed. If you currently have a VersaFilter III system, you can use the same filter head with this Pharmaceuticals cartridge for enhanced protection against trace pharmaceuticals and chemicals.

Detailed Features & Benefits

Advanced Pharmaceutical Reduction Technology: The 041670-001 cartridge employs specialized filtration media specifically designed to target and reduce a wide range of pharmaceutical compounds and chemicals that conventional water treatment systems typically don't address. This technology specifically targets trace amounts of medications (including beta-blockers, anticonvulsants, pain relievers), hormones like Estrone, pesticides, and industrial chemicals like BPA that increasingly find their way into water supplies through human excretion, improper disposal, and agricultural runoff. The NSF/ANSI 401 certification confirms the cartridge's effectiveness against 12 specific pharmaceutical compounds, providing an important advancement in point-of-use water treatment that addresses these emerging contaminants of concern.

Comprehensive Multi-Contaminant Protection: Beyond its pharmaceutical reduction capabilities, the 041670-001 cartridge delivers extensive protection against traditional water quality concerns. NSF/ANSI 42 certification ensures reduction of chlorine, unpleasant tastes, odors, and particulates that affect water palatability. NSF/ANSI 53 certification confirms reduction of harmful lead, which can leach from plumbing systems, and potentially dangerous cysts. Additionally, NSF/ANSI 401 certification includes reduction of microplastics, an emerging contaminant of growing concern. This multi-contaminant approach means facilities can address numerous water quality issues with a single filtration solution, providing thorough protection that goes well beyond addressing pharmaceuticals alone.

Optimized Performance & Maintenance: The 041670-001 cartridge balances effective contaminant reduction with practical operational considerations. Its 1.50 GPM flow rate ensures efficient water delivery even with the advanced filtration media, meeting user expectations for quick dispensing. The 725-gallon capacity provides a reasonable service interval for most commercial and institutional settings, while the quarter-turn installation system with automatic shut-off valve makes cartridge replacement simple and clean. Using the same filter head as other Oasis filtration systems, it facilitates easy integration and streamlined inventory management for maintenance teams. This combination of performance and convenience makes pharmaceutical contaminant reduction practical and accessible for facilities seeking to provide the highest level of water quality.
