    THROUGHOUT THE PAST 40 YEARS WE BECAME FAMILIAR WITH MANY FILTER HOUSINGS AND MANUFACTURERS. MOST IN TIME WARPED OUT, FROZE, CRACKED, AND COULD NOT TAKE SOME OF THE BETTER FULL SIZE STANDARD CARTRIDGES.

    WE DECIDED TO STICK WITH WHAT WE KNEW WAS THE BEST. DEFINITELY NOT THE MOST EXPENSIVE BY ANY MEANS, IN FACT IT'S EXTREMELY AFFORDABLE TO ALL. AMETEK WAS ONE OF THE PIONEERS FIRST STARTED.

   CARTRIDGES AVAILABLE THEN WERE STILL NOT VERY GOOD SO IN ORDER TO PROVIDE DECENT DRINKING WATER TO OUR CUSTOMERS WE MANUFACTURED OUR OWN FILTER, OUR  "CUSTOM" AND FILLED THEM WITH HIGH QUALITY BLENDS OF ACTIVATED CARBON.  TECHNOLOGY  FINALLY CAUGHT UP AND EXCELLENT CARTRIDGES BECAME AVAILABLE SO WE RETIRED IT.              

     AMETEK HAS SINCE CHANGED NAMES AND OWNERS THROUGH THE YEARS: U.S. FILTER, AMERICAN PLUMBER AND NOW PENTEK. THEY ARE AVAILABLE IN SINGLES, DOUBLES AND TRIPLES AND A CHOICE OF FITTINGS ARE AVAILABLE WHETHER IN BRASS COMPRESSION OR THE NEW "PUSH-FIT" FITTINGS. EVEN THOSE WE ONLY STICK WITH THE TOP OF THE LINE "JOHN GUEST" BRAND. LARGER HOUSINGS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FROM THE SAME LINE THAT ALSO HAVE MANY TYPE CARTRIDGES AVAILABLE. NOTE THAT THE ACTIVATED CARBON USED IN THESE CARTRIDGES ARE THE BEST TYPES FOR OUR WATER HERE IN GENERAL.  IT ACTUALLY COULD REQUIRE BE A DIFFERENT TYPE FOR EACH PARTICULAR APPLICATION OR REGION.

BPA IS A CHEMICAL ADDITIVE USED IN VARIOUS PLASTICS. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING US ABOUT BPA'S IN OUR FILTER HOUSINGS. THIS WAS A CONCERN WITH BABY BOTTLES, SIPPY CUPS, ETC. IT IS USED IN THE PRODUCTION OF CLEAR POLYCARBONATE PLASTICS. NONE OF THE HOUSINGS, INCLUDING OUR CLEAR ONES, ARE POLYCARBONATE.
