Tap Water Filter

[HAMMERHEAD1]

The TWP has changed to the tap water filter. Has anybody tried it out? It claims to produce "pure" DI water.

Well, I have always used the TWP from AP, it has always been DI water, so I don't really understand ? Have they made additional changes to the unit?

The ad in the mag. said it`s improved and they changed the name from purifier to filter.

I think they're referring to the new brown color instead of the old green color. It's still a DI system. The effluent on mine is 1ppm or less (so it does work as advertised). I get about 50 gallons per cartridge, but more if I put 2 in series.

The old one had a rubber that fit over the screen on your sink and popped off all the time--the new one replaces the screen (threads on) and has a valve that allows you to use the sink or divert through the TWP by simply opening or closing the valve without disconnecting anything.

I think i`ll give it a try. I`m tired of driving 60 miles round trip to buy water! Thanks for the info

The TWPs that were sold in New Zealand some years ago used the brown resin. Perhaps they have just renamed it?

Mine came that way back in February so i dont think that is the new improvement. Unless its an old ad?

The mag. I saw it in was Fresh Water and Marine Aquarium. The article is in "showcase 2000", on page 206
