The Cuisinart CleanWater Countertop Filtration System is better than bottled water because it reduces contaminants that may alter water's taste and purity. It reduces the potentially harmful contaminants found in ordinary tap water: lead, mercury, chlorine and more. Filtration system purifies water drawn from your faucet and saves the expense of bottled water and the waste of plastics. You'll taste the difference from tap water immediately. Unlike cumbersome floor models, the Clean Water system fits on a kitchen countertop, in a living room or office.
The 2-gallon system with 2 spigots features 3 temperature-button selections: room temperature, cold or hot water dispensing for instant tea, coffee or hot cereal. Internal water tanks store hot water separately from the cold water. For safety, the hot button features a manual locking mechanism. Energy-saving switch lets you turn off the heating function and save up to 50% energy usage. When the Green LED light is on, you will know that the hot water function is off. This unit is equipped with an LED light indicator to show when water is purified and ready to drink. The lid also features a 12-week timer to alert you when it's time to change the filter, so you won't have to manually track the time elapsed between filter changes. Clean Water system ensures fresh filtered water for drinking and meal preparation. WQA (Water Quality Association) approved, tested and certified. Water tank removes easily for refilling. Brushed silvertone plastic exterior wipes clean. Replacement filter sold separately, item 24231.
