They »lso MATERIALLY REDUCE HARDNESS, and are the ONLY FILTERS WHICH DO NOT BENDER the WATEH FLAT AND INSIPID, as instead of withdrawing carbonic acid from the water they impart it. There is no water which they do not render Sparkling, Wholesom*, and agreeable. Their principle advantages over all other Filters are their simplicity of construction, rapidity and regularity with which they perform their work, and the facility with which they can be cleaned by anyone in a few minutes.
