01 / THE EXACT CONFIGURATION

Replacement filters

Claims below apply to AQ-MF-1 + AQ-MF-1-R as a complete configuration. Physical fit alone does not establish certified performance.

AQ-MF-1-RReplacement filter · Replacement filter

784 gallons / 6 months. Replace at the earlier of the documented volume or time limit; follow source instructions for any earlier replacement triggers. Capacity / component source

Match the full replacement identifier, including the .Q suffix where listed. VOC performance uses surrogate testing. Use the exact PDS volume limit or the documented time limit, whichever occurs first.

02 / DOCUMENTED PERFORMANCE

Materials & structural scope

No separate materials-only record captured. This does not mean the system lacks materials certification.

Unlisted contaminants have no captured claim here. An absent catalog claim does not prove absence of certification.

REPLACEMENT BUDGET

Annual filter cost

$183.98365 gallons / year · all 1 replacement item
  • AQ-MF-1-R · 2 units / year$183.98

For each item: round up the larger of annual water use ÷ capacity and 12 ÷ replacement months, then multiply by quantity and unit price. This conservative full-year budget does not credit the filters supplied with a new system. Multi-pack prices are allocated per filter; buying whole packs can cost more. It excludes system purchase, hardware, optional upgrades, shipping, tax, labor, water and electricity. Editable prices are your assumptions.
