Aquasana Water Filter Replacement Cartridge Set / Shower Filter Replacement Cartridge

AQ-4025 Aquasana Drinking Water Filter Replacement Cartridge Set (A & B) plus AQ-4125 Aquasana Shower Replacement Cartridge - for chlorine, chloramines or well water applications.

Attention: Toronto, Etobicoke, York, East York, North York and Scarborough are supplied with water from 4 water treatment plants. All 4 use a combination of chlorine and ammonia called chloramine. If you reside in one of these communities, select appropriate option below. Please, note that Mississauga, Brampton, Bolton and Oakville are supplied by the Lakeview and Lorne Park Water Treatment plants that use chlorine, not chloramines. For more information on where chloramines are used in Canada, please see Water FAQ's.

Drinking Water Filter Q & A's

Question: How do I remove the A-cartridge from the AQ-4000 if it is stuck?
Answer: Because it is very important that the A-cartridge not be bypassed by the untreated water, the AQ-4000 forces a strong seal on the A-cartridge. If you are having difficulties removing your A-cartridge, all you need to do is fold up a towel on your kitchen counter, and with the A-cap removed, give the filter a couple of turns (with your fingers), then a light tap or two on the counter, and the cartridge should jump right out. If this does not work for you, please call Sun Water Systems tech support at 1 (877) FDA-PURE.

Question: If I'm the only one using the filter, can I wait 12 months to change the cartridges?
Answer: The AQ-4000 is certified to treat 500 gallons, which means that we had to prove the performance through 1000 gallons to give you a built in safety window. Even a family of 6 is unlikely to use a full 1000 gallons in a six month period. However, carbon is the building block of life, and will allow bacteria to colonize on its surface as soon as it gets wet. Unlike the AQ-4100 and EQ-300 which use KDF-55 (55% copper, 45% zinc), the AQ-4000 does not contain anything to inhibit bacteria growth. We use B.A.S.F. ATS Sorbent Medium ion exchanger in place of KDF-55 in drinking water filters because it has better 2+ ion affinity at low flow rates and low temperatures. Some companies use silver to prevent bacteria build-up, but recent studies have shown that silver has similar health effects to lead. Silver collects in the left testicle or the left ovary and can cause hypertension, brain damage, and other negative health effects. Companies that use silver in their cartridges must register their products with the FDA as a pesticide. Because there is nothing toxic in our cartridges to prevent bacteria growth, the AQ-4000 will reach detectable levels of heterotrophic bacteria after 7-8 months, and dangerous levels after 12-14 months. To prevent bacteria build-up, the AQ-4000's cartridges should be changed every 6 months, regardless of use. The KDF-55 used in the AQ-4100 and the EQ-300 prevents them from growing bacteria, so a single person using the AQ-4100 Pure Shower System can go a full year between cartridge replacements, and the Rhino EQ-300 can be used until your water bill shows that you've used over 300,000 gallons.

It's a well know fact that water in your area has high sediment levels. This tends to clog the 5 micron ("A") filter cartridge prematurely, gradually lowering your filtered water output and shortening your filter life span. In order to alleviate this problem, Sun Water Systems has developed special sediment prefilters. Those are small (3"x3"x2") devices that can be installed on the Aquasana AQ-4000 inbound water line to filter out the sediment before it can affect the main filter. Once a sediment prefilter is installed, it should prolong the life span of your Aquasana Water Filter. We strongly recommend that you add a sediment prefilter to your order by selecting one of the options below. Available for Countertop or Under-Sink setup.
Prefilter assembly needs to be purchased only once. Then, every six months or so, you can purchase prefilter refills in quantities of 6, 12, 18 or 24. They are available as an option with the main filter replacement cartridges.
You must, however, bear in mind that using sediment prefilters alone can't guarantee that all particulate matter will be eliminated. In extreme cases, a combination of sediment prefilters and more frequent 'A' cartridge changes may be needed. Please, keep us apprised of your particular needs.

Attention
Cross-Border Shoppers!

Every week, we get phone calls and emails from cross-border shoppers telling us how they regret not buying from a Canadian source. These people mistakenly believed that they would save by buying from a US vendor, but were required to pay extra charges for filters imported from the US. "Free Shipping Anywhere in North America" often offered by US dealers DOES NOT mean that you'll get your package free and clear. Vendors offering this "Free Shipping" deal have no control whatsoever over Canada Customs and its import regulations. Your imported package will be subject to federal and provincial taxes. If you don't own a US$ credit card, your Visa, Master Card or American Express provider will charge you anywhere between 4% and 5% cross-currency transaction fee on your US$ purchase. That's in addition to the exchange rate. If the package was shipped via USPS, Canada Post will charge you $8 Handling Fee for delivering USPS mail. You're really out of luck if your order was shipped by UPS Ground, as you'll be charged a Brokerage Fee. Finally, if you ever need to file a warranty claim, it will take that much longer to receive your replacement part sent from the US, with border delays and customs clearance holds being commonplace. There's no question - buying from a Canadian source saves you not only money, but unnecessary aggravation as well.
AquasanaCanada.com is Toronto based and all orders are shipped via Canada Post Expedited Parcel (unless UPS service is requested), from our Toronto facilities. When we say "Free Shipping", it really means that you'll get your package free and clear, and usually within 2-5 working days, depending on your location.
In addition, we promise you the best after-sale experience you'll ever have. What more could you ask for?

Enjoy your shopping!
