Info: 3 Chamber, 4 Stage Countertop Water Purifier
The Integrity Advantage Triple Countertop Water Filtration system provides great-tasting, ultra-pure, fluoride-free mineral water without altering its alkalinity or pH level. It is designed for those who live in condominiums, apartments or rental homes where permanent water filtration systems cannot be installed, or for those who want a portable solution (if you may be moving, or would like to use it in more than one location), and whose water supplies are being treated with either chlorine or chloramine.

Product Notes:
The Integrity Triple-2024 includes three filtration components and five filtration stages, with up to 99.5% removal rate of fluoride, chlorine, chloramines, lead, mercury, heavy metals, PFAS, and VOCs, while maintaining desired pH (alkalinity) and dissolved minerals. This system filters dirt, rust, sediment, etc., down to 1 micron.
You don't need any drilling or a plumber to install an OPUS Integrity system. In most cases,* you simply have to unscrew the aerator off the tip of your existing faucet, then screw the Integrity's included diverter valve (as shown in this inset photo) on in its place, and press its button to send the cold water over to the filtration unit whenever you want it purified, and the system's built-in spout dispenses clean drinking or cooking water whenever you want.
*(The Integrity's push-button water diverter has a 'female' thread that fits over the faucet tip, with a 55/64" thread size and 27 threads per inch, which is pretty standard for North American faucets. However, in some cases, you may need to get a relatively inexpensive aerator adapter from a plumbing or hardware store, if your faucet threads are a different size (e.g., metric) or if it has internal rather than external threads for the aerator. It cannot be connected to faucets which incorporate a pull-put sprayer in the centre of the faucet, though; in those cases, you could still most likely use it with your bathroom sink, however.)

• 3 year limited warranty if all filters are changed annually. Due to differences in sediment levels for some water sources, the 5 micron filter may need to be changed more often than that; replace it if the purified water flow becomes unacceptably slow.
Available Integrity Triple Replacement Filters:
Stage 1 & 2 - 5-micron pleated prefilter (store code 22461) -- replace every six months. (Both the unit itself and the annual replacement kit come with two.)
Stage 3 - Bone Char fluoride removal filter (17800) -- replace every year.
Stage 4 & 5 - 1 Micron Catalytic / Activated Carbon Block filter (10616) for chlorine and chloramines and more -- replace annually.

ANNUAL COST OF OPERATION: $230 (details below)
INCLUDED COMPONENTS:
• Triple 10" countertop filter housing.
• 10" 5 Micron Pleated Pre-Filter (x 2).
• 10" bone char fluoride and arsenic removal filter.
• 10" 1 micron catalytic carbon filter to remove the chlorine or chloramines your municipality adds to its water supply to kill germs, and to remove lead, mercury, etc., and tastes and odors.
• Diverter valve for connection to a standard water faucet.
• Integrated Chrome Lead-Free Faucet.
Stage 1 & 2: Pre-Filter
This filter is designed to remove dirt, rust, sediment, and other contaminants, and to prevent these contaminants from affecting the efficiency and longevity of the other filters, plus it also removes chlorine and chloramines. In normal use, replace every 6 months or so. Once the flow rate of the filtered water from the drinking faucet drops significantly, it is time to replace this filter.
Stage 3: Fluoride Filtration
Bone Char provides effective removal of fluoride and arsenic by adsorption.
Stage 4 & 5:
This dual stage filter is the rightmost vertical stage of the unit, and consists of a 1 micron carbon filter that has multiple functions, including:
• removing chlorine and chloramines (Stage 3);
• removing particulates down to 1 micron, and eliminating or reducing PFAS, many bacteria and parasites, Cryptosporidium, Giardia, E. coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Shigella dysenteriae, and some viruses like Hepatitis A (Stage 4).
