Операция

The Waterdrop WD-RPFK filter operates by directing incoming water through its 50-micron stainless steel mesh, trapping sediment and impurities. Clean water then flows out to your household plumbing. The transparent filter housing allows for visual inspection of the filter mesh, so you can easily monitor the accumulation of trapped particles.
