BLANCO Microplastic S Replacement Filter Cartridge

Austrian-Engineered Microplastic Filtration Technology

Maintain the superior performance of your BLANCO water filtration system with this genuine Microplastic S replacement cartridge that continues delivering clean, particle-free drinking water for your household. Engineered in Austria to the same exacting standards as the original filter, this replacement cartridge reduces over 50 contaminants including microplastics, sand, rust, select organic components, and chlorine while preserving beneficial natural minerals in your water. Designed specifically for the BLANCO Microplastic S Filter Starter Set (SKU 443275), this cartridge ensures seamless integration with your existing filtration system while maintaining the water quality benefits you've come to rely on.

400-Gallon Capacity with Mineral Preservation

Each replacement cartridge provides up to 400 gallons of filtered water or six months of use based on average household consumption, whichever comes first. The advanced filtration media specifically targets microplastic particles that have become an increasing concern in municipal water supplies, along with sand, rust, and other particulates that affect water clarity and taste. Unlike some filtration systems that strip away all minerals, this cartridge preserves beneficial natural minerals like calcium and magnesium that contribute to water taste and nutritional value. The comprehensive contaminant reduction extends to chlorine and organic compounds while maintaining the mineral content that makes water naturally refreshing. For precise tracking of filter usage and optimal replacement timing, pair this cartridge with the optional Digital Flow Meter (SKU 443276).

Common Questions Answered

Why is microplastic filtration becoming increasingly important?

Recent studies have identified microplastics as an emerging contaminant in municipal water supplies worldwide, with tiny plastic particles entering water systems through various sources including degraded plastic waste, synthetic clothing fibers, and industrial processes. These microscopic particles, typically smaller than 5 millimeters, can pass through conventional water treatment facilities and end up in drinking water. While research into the long-term health effects of microplastic consumption is ongoing, many households prefer to reduce their exposure through point-of-use filtration. This replacement cartridge specifically targets microplastic particles along with traditional contaminants, providing comprehensive protection while preserving the beneficial minerals that contribute to water taste and quality. Regular replacement ensures the filtration media maintains its effectiveness in capturing these emerging contaminants.

How is this different from the Soft L filter system?

BLANCO offers two distinct filter systems to address different water quality concerns. The Microplastic S system (this replacement cartridge) focuses on reducing microplastics, sand, and rust particles while preserving beneficial minerals, making it ideal for city residents concerned about emerging contaminants in municipal water supplies. The Soft L system specifically targets hard water issues by reducing limescale deposits that damage appliances, making it the better choice for regions with high calcium and magnesium content. The Microplastic S offers 400-gallon capacity while the Soft L provides 500-gallon capacity. Both systems reduce over 50 contaminants including chlorine and organic compounds, work with the same Digital Flow Meter, and feature Austrian engineering, but each uses different filtration media optimized for specific water quality challenges. Choose based on your primary water concern: microplastics and particulates (Microplastic S) or hard water and limescale (Soft L).
