"I really like Omnipure Filters. I use the four filter system. They are easy to install and do a great job in filtering my water. A sales rep for another water filter system tested my water. He was surprised at the cleanness/purity of my water. Most important to me is the customer service of ESP Water. The sales representatives are always patient and helpful. Thanks"
"A must have product and easy to install."
"For the price, it's not too bad. The ice box in the fridge leaves behind a lime scale look a like even when the softener is running. Not sure what it is yet."
"Part of my RO system, they do a great job"
"Good quality 👍"
"We like the system"
"The ESP team is awesome! My filter ended up leaking so I called support and spoke with John. He was super helpful and made a guess that the O-rings were old and needed replacement. He offered to put those in the mail for me for free. That’s a nice gesture. We then ended up talking about my water pressure and he determined my tank was old. We discussed how to replace this tank and how much it would cost. I ended up buying a new tank since my existing one was more than 5 years old. Thank you John!"
"Very prompt but next time include washers"
"Easy installation"
Q:
What does the Omnipure Q5633 reduce?
A:
The GAC T33 media reduces chlorine taste and odor and filters fine particulates in treated water. It can serve as a pre- or post-RO carbon stage when specified by the system.
Q:
How is the Q5633 installed?
A:
It twists into a compatible permanent Omnipure Q-Series head. It is not a conventional drop-in cartridge and does not use separate inline tube fittings.
Q:
What is the rated capacity of the Q5633?
A:
Omnipure lists a 2,500-gallon capacity at a 0.5 GPM service flow under its test conditions. Actual life varies with water quality and use.
Q:
Does a new Q5633 need flushing?
A:
Yes. Note the flow direction and flush about five gallons before use, then inspect the head for leaks.
Q:
Can Q5636, Q5628, or Q5640 replace the Q5633?
A:
These Q-Series cartridges may be mechanically interchangeable in some heads, but they use different media. Select the part number that matches the intended treatment function.
Q:
When should I replace the Q5633?
A:
Replace it when rated capacity is reached, flow becomes too slow, or chlorine taste and odor return—whichever occurs first.
