ELF C-249 12.5" x 4" Water Softening Resin Filter
Cation exchange resin cartridge that reduces hardness minerals and prevents scale buildup in residential and light commercial applications
Ion Exchange Technology for Hard Water
Cation Exchange
FDA grade softening resin swaps calcium and magnesium ions for sodium, eliminating hardness at the molecular level
Scale Prevention
Stops mineral deposits from forming on fixtures, appliances, and heating elements where hard water causes the most damage
10 Micron Filtration
Dual-action design softens water while removing sediment and particulate down to 10 microns
Q-Series Compatible
Direct attachment to any permanent Q-Series valved or non-valved head for quick changeouts
