A: The Basic Under Sink Filter is a universal filter which means it will fit all major brands of drop-in style systems.

A: Most likely not. Although I have an OmniFilter cartridge where the GE FXUTC filters fit fine, the purple rings on the HDXCTF4 filter are too wide for a good fit at the bottom of the filter.

Answer This Question
A: As stated...it is not specified.
I just saw that the GE filter (i.e. not this HDX) is rated at 0.5 micron. I would suspect this being a carbon filter is pretty decent... Not sure if it is as good as GE....especially since they didn't bother to spec it.

A: The Basic Under Sink Filter does not have a micron rating but it is certified for 3,000 gallons (or lasts up to 6 months).

A: As the previous answer stated, it is not specified...
This is supposed to be a carbon filter...so it should do more than filter sediment. I would suspect that this is at least 10 -20 µ if not smaller...but I can't find that anywhere!
If you look up the certification claim on the label it says:
NSF/ANSI 42: Drinking Water Treatment Units - Aesthetic Effects
NSF/ANSI 42 establishes the minimum requirements for the certification of POU/POE filtration systems designed to reduce specific aesthetic or non-health-related contaminants (chlorine, taste, odor and particulates) that may be present in public or private drinking water.
The scope of NSF/ANSI 42 includes material safety, structural integrity and aesthetic, non-health-related contaminant reduction performance claims. The most common technology addressed by this standard is carbon filtration.
