MSP Microlene Alternative Omnipure Water Filter - Push-to-Connect

The highest qualityu alternativeThe Omnipure K5520JJ is a 1 micron inline carbon block water filter with 1/4-inch John Guest quick-connect fittings. Designed to reduce chlorine, taste and odour, it helps improve the taste of your drinking water while providing cyst reduction.

Its inline design connects directly into compatible 1/4-inch tubing, making it a practical replacement for systems that use this cartridge model and connection size.

What Cysts Does It Reduce?

• Cryptosporidium (Crypto cysts: ~3–5 microns)

• Entamoeba histolytica (~10–20 microns)

• Toxoplasma gondii (~4–6 microns)
