Express Water WH300SCKS review
Express Water Whole House Water Filter, Heavy Metal, 3-Stage (WH300SCKS)
By Tom Calder
Three cartridges on a free-standing steel frame with pressure gauges, so you can see when a filter is clogging. WQA lists it for lead-free materials (NSF/ANSI 372) only: the 'heavy metal' name is the maker's, not a certified claim.
- Best for
- A framed, gauge-equipped cartridge system
