A:  Yes. Anchor 7-Stage Counter Top Filtration System has KDF-55 as the filtration media which is very effective in removing heavy metals such as Lead from water.

    A:  We bought this following our tap water was tested for having minute lead trace. Although not even close to a high amount that would cause health problems it still was enough to invest in this water filter. I cannot remember what the health inspector recorded in her assessment, but it was clear of any lead traces following our fitting of this filter. She came back on a daily bases for a week and all was clear. Although new lead free pipes have now been installed, we have kept the water filter in place and will continue to do so. As for whether it is designed to filter out any traces of lead in the water supply I really don't know but it worked for us until the mains water supply pipes were changed over,\.

      A:  Box says 4000 gallons, digital display says 1500 Gallons. Your guess is as good as mine there. But, as others have said It will also depend on your water itself too. But since Palandara said theirs was 1500 also. I'm thinking that's the correct number. But Anchor needs to change it on the box.

          A:  As soon as I had set it up ans switched it on, the read out was 1500 gallons so am assuming that is the answer to your question. Hope this assists you.

          A:  It is recommended to change the filter cartridge either after its capacity 1500 gallons is reached or after 6 months from first use, whichever is earlier. Also when the water pressure becomes low, you should consider changing the filter cartridge.

            A:  It’s going to depend on how bad your water is. If your water is really bad the filter will clog much faster. Home Depot sells the filter. And yes one comes with.
