Glacier Fresh, a provider of water filtration solutions, has announced the launch of its new 3G Countertop Water Filter System (model PC04). This gravity-fed countertop purifier is designed for households seeking an effective water filtration option without the need for permanent installation or plumbing modifications.
The PC04 countertop water purifier utilizes Glacier Fresh's proprietary Elarisey™ filtration technology, which leverages electrically charged nanofibers to achieve up to 99% removal of harmful microorganisms. William Wu, CEO of Glacier Fresh, stated, "Houseowners are increasingly looking for effective and accessible ways to improve their water quality at home or even outdoors. The 3G Countertop Water Filter System is engineered to meet that demand by combining advanced filtration technology with a practical, install-anywhere design."
Key attributes of the 3G countertop water filter include the Elarisey™ filtration technology, which uses a positively charged nanofiber membrane to remove most lead, permanent chemicals, microplastics, and over 50 other pollutants. The gravity-fed flow requires no electricity or plumbing connection. The unit holds approximately 3 gallons total, with roughly 0.8 gallons of filtered water available, and offers a filter flow rate of about 3 gallons per hour.
The system features a smart filter life monitor, with a typical cartridge service life of approximately 200 gallons or three months, whichever occurs first. A visual indicator on the lid helps users track remaining life. The exterior and internal components are made of 304 stainless steel, selected for corrosion resistance and indoor durability, which reduces reliance on single-use plastic bottles and minimizes plastic waste.
The 3G countertop water filter system has passed SGS 372/42/53/40, FCC, and FDA certifications and complies with industry standards of NSF 42 and 53. Designed with a compact countertop format and advanced filtration capabilities, the 3G Countertop Water Filter provides a practical option for users seeking high-performance purification without installation requirements.
Glacier Fresh presents the PC04 as suitable for municipal tap water and certain well water sources, and as an option where portability, ease of installation, and a non-plumbed design are priorities. Typical use cases include kitchens in rental units, office pantries, temporary accommodation, emergency preparedness, and small commercial settings requiring a countertop point-of-use unit.
With the introduction of the 3G Countertop Water Purifier, Glacier Fresh extends its product range beyond refrigerator water filters, under-sink reverse osmosis systems, RV filtration solutions, and pitcher filters, reinforcing its ability to serve diverse consumer needs.
