The FCPRA-10N filter is made from high-quality raw materials. It breaks down salts in the water and makes it "softer" for use. The cartridge needs to be changed approximately every 10 to 12 months, depending on the quality and quantity of water being treated.
The polyphosphate crystals are ideal for use in filters in washing machine or dishwasher water supplies, and generally wherever there is a need to "reduce" water hardness. The polyphosphate crystals dissolve in water and essentially coat elements such as iron, calcium, and magnesium, making it impossible for these elements to "precipitate" out of the water and create the known problems associated with "hard" water, such as the formation of salts in pumps, washing machine resistors, kettles, etc.
It improves the performance of detergents by up to 30%.
