How Anity® Filtration Technology Works
In 2017, Anity Filtration Technology made waves as the new standard for water safety.
Thanks to our decade-long journey developing the technology in your lter, “better tasting” and
“better smelling” water is no longer the gold standard of safety. After all, simple carbon or charcoal lters
focus only on removing unpleasant odors and tastes. Their basic technology leaves you vulnerable as
hundreds of harmful contaminants that can’t be seen, smelled, or tasted remain in your water.
Our lters never fall short. The breakthrough technology inside targets and 

Here’s how our technology transforms your water from polluted to pure.
Ultimately, Anity Filtration Technology recognizes what should stay and what should go.
Its one-two punch of structure and magnet-like medias helps snatch up dangerous chemicals, metals,
and toxins other lters can’t.

Our 3-Stage Filtration System Explained
Our 3-Stage Under-Sink Filtration System contains the most powerful ltration technology on the market.
Your system is made up of 3 lters that each serve a unique purpose. Together, they deliver a continuous
supply of cold, clean, and safe water straight from your faucet.

ing is the process of preparing the lters by forcing running water through the system. This simple step
pushes air out of the lters, loosens up the ltration media, and ensures the system’s ready for water to
ow through so contaminants are captured and eliminated.

ows into the sink.
Locate the cold water valve. It is typically the valve
on the right and can sometimes be identied by a
