It fits both versions of the system, the standard bypass tank and the metered tank. It is not a Big Blue cartridge and does not fit standard filter housings; no generic cartridge fits the PIONEER tank in its place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ATOMUS PF8 media is certified to \u003cstrong\u003eNSF\/ANSI 61\u003c\/strong\u003e and removes \u003cstrong\u003e8 PFAS chemicals to non-detect levels\u003c\/strong\u003e (below 1 ng\/L): PFOA, PFOS, PFHpA, PFNA, PFHxS, PFBS, GenX, and PFDA.

At very high PFAS (3,000+ ppt) the cartridge is rated for \u003cstrong\u003e100,000+ gallons\u003c\/strong\u003e of non-detect removal; at typical levels around 100 ppt it is rated for \u003cstrong\u003e350,000+ gallons\u003c\/strong\u003e. In practice most households replace every \u003cstrong\u003e12 to 36 months\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you have the metered tank, replace when the meter reaches its gallon target: that is the most reliable signal, because PFAS breakthrough has no color, taste, or smell.
