Overview
Not a plain carbon cartridge, the Waterdrop PF-AL is an alkaline replacement filter that raises pH and adds minerals as tap water passes through it. Activated carbon fiber media reduces chlorine, fluoride, odor and several heavy metals inside a Waterdrop pitcher or dispenser.
Owners of a Waterdrop pitcher get a drop-in way to switch from standard filtering to alkaline, mineral added water, and the seller notes smoother coffee from the lower acidity. Each filter needs replacing fairly often, so a pack of three goes faster in a busy household.
Who it's for
Households already using a Waterdrop pitcher or countertop dispenser who prefer alkaline drinking water or brew coffee from it. Owners of other filter systems should look for a cartridge made for their brand.
Pros and cons
- Reduces chlorine, fluoride, taste and odor
- Reduces aluminum, iron, copper and mercury
- Adds calcium, magnesium, zinc and trace minerals
- Fast flow from direct filter construction
- Fits Waterdrop systems only
- Short filter life means frequent swaps
- NSF certification not listed
Performance notes
Filtration depends on contact time with the carbon fiber, so water that flows through quickly gets less treatment as the filter ages. The mineral media releases calcium, magnesium and trace elements that raise pH, and that effect fades toward the end of the rated life. Harder or dirtier tap water uses up capacity sooner.
