Full product details
Read the full description
The Davey Microlene MSQCUBS filters drinking water at your kitchen sink, and it's made for rainwater.
The cartridge filters from 10 µm down to 1 µm and uses silver-impregnated granular activated carbon to reduce taste and odour. It's rated at 4 L/min. It comes with a chrome benchtop tap and a fitting kit, so it runs alongside your normal kitchen tap.
Change the cartridge every 2 years, or sooner if the flow drops. 12-month manufacturer's warranty.
If you drink your tank water, pair it with filters plus UV.
We're NZ owned in Te Rapa, Hamilton. If it's not right, we'll put it right.
