DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

At 13⅛ inches high and with three-bolt compatibility, it is unusually approachable for replacements. Included cord, clean-rinse design and accessible reset reduce installation friction.

LONGEVITY

10-year limited warranty with in-home service. The polymer chamber is a rational corrosion choice, but it lacks the all-stainless wet construction of the top European/Japanese selections.
