You get the benefit of a multi-stage system without multiple housings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are Trihalomethanes (THMs)?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHMs are a group of chemical by-products that can form when chlorine reacts with organic matter in water. They are more common in treated mains supplies. The HF1M-R is designed to reduce THMs as part of its five-stage process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it soften hard water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HF1M-R incorporates water-softening beads that treat scale and hard water. If scale build-up on appliances or fittings is a concern, this cartridge addresses that as part of the filtration process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I need to replace it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery 6 to 12 months, or sooner if flow rate noticeably drops. The cartridge has a maximum capacity of 65,000 litres — on higher-use households, capacity may be reached before 12 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HF1M-R is the replacement cartridge for the Davey Microlene HF1M underbench filter system. It uses a twist-fit connection with 1\/2\" BSP fittings. If you're unsure whether it fits your system, get in touch and we'll confirm before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it remove Cryptosporidium and Giardia?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The HF1M-R has been tested to remove up to 99.9% of Cryptosporidium and Giardia cysts. It complies with AS\/NZS 4020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does AS\/NZS 4020 mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAS\/NZS 4020 is the Australian\/New Zealand standard for products intended for contact with drinking water. Compliance means the materials and components used in the cartridge have been independently tested and approved as safe for use in drinking water systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a plumber to replace it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The HF1M-R connects via a simple twist-fit mechanism. Shut off the water, twist out the old cartridge, twist in the new one.
