The unit comes with filter cartridge, inlet valve, ledge faucet, filter wrench, mounting bracket and any refrigerator hook-up fittings you request. It features John Guest push-in fittings for very easy installation. Both inlet valve and faucet have tubing attached for very easy installation and leak-free performance.
Standard cartridge — what you get if you don't specify otherwise — is the MatriKX-1, a tight and effective extruded carbon block that's great at chlorine and general chemical removal. It's also a great taste/odor enhancer.
Suggested alternates — which you can have at no additional cost just by requesting them, are:
MatriKX PB-1: A high quality carbon block filter that's also rated for lead and cryptosporidium/giardia reduction.
KDC1.5: This is a tough DiTech cartridge that consists of 1.5 pounds of KDF specialty medium and granular activated carbon. It is the equivalent of the cartridge used in many of the long-lasting “miracle filters” sold for $200 or so. It has a long lifespan and is a good all-around chemical filter, an excellent chlorine remover, and a great filter for lead and heavy metals.
