Why Use the LPA-CS1-15 Water Filter?
Even though tap water in Australia is generally treated and safe to drink, health authorities such as NSW Health note that not all filters remove harmful microorganisms like Cryptosporidium and Giardia. The LPA-CS1-15 is specifically designed to meet those higher safety needs while also improving water quality and protecting appliances.
1. Meets Health Guidelines for Microorganism Protection
NSW Health recommends using an absolute 1 micron filter to reduce Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
→ The LPA-CS1-15 features a 1 micron hollow fiber membrane, helping reduce bacteria and cysts.
2. Improves Taste and Smell
Reduces chlorine, unpleasant taste, and odor often found in municipal tap water.
3. Removes Fine Particles
Rated for Particulate Class 1 (0.5–1.0 micron), helping improve water clarity and prevent sediment buildup.
4. Inhibits Scale
Helps reduce scale formation, which can protect appliances like kettles and coffee machines.
5. High Capacity and Flow
-
Flow Rate: 1.7 GPM (6.43 L/min)
-
Capacity: 17,000 gallons (64,345 L)
Suitable for household or light commercial use.
6. Easy to Install and Replace
Quick-change cartridge design with standard 3/8″ connections makes it user-friendly and tool-free.
7. No Electricity Required
Operates without any electrical connection, ideal for homes, cafes, or caravans.
