The ICEPURE Under Sink Water Filter System is a high-capacity, single-stage carbon block filter designed for quick, tool-free installation and long-lasting performance. Its main limitation is the inability to reduce TDS or handle hot water applications. It is ideal for users seeking a low-maintenance upgrade for municipal water taste and safety.
The PUREPLUS WFC5300A is a high-capacity under-sink filtration system designed for easy installation and long-term maintenance-free operation, boasting a 5-year lifespan. It excels at removing chlorine, sediment, and heavy metals while retaining beneficial minerals, making it ideal for improving taste and odor. However, it is not suitable for users requiring TDS reduction or the removal of specific contaminants like fluoride and arsenic.
