- Carbtrex Carbon (CTX-T33-QC) — Reduces chlorine, taste, and odor ahead of the membrane. Typical life: 8–12 months.
- Patriot RO Membrane (MEM-PTRO-QC) — Main purification stage removing dissolved solids. Typical life: 2–3 years.
- Carbtrex Post-Carbon (CTX-T33-QC, Post) — Final polishing for crisp, clean taste at the tap. Typical life: 8–12 months.
- Catalytic Carbon (CTX-CATCARB-QC0) — Advanced carbon media for challenging water (chloramines, etc.). Typical life: 8–12 months.
- Alkaline Carbon (CTX-T33-ALK-QC) — Post-treatment that adds a smoother, alkaline finish to taste. Typical life: 8–12 months.
Lifespan varies with water quality and usage. Replace sooner if flow slows or taste/odor returns.
