Xtract™ Technology
De-grodify your water with science.
Advanced water filter faucet. 2X faster.
What is Xtract™?
Faucets with Xtract™ technology deliver great-tasting filtered water and regular tap water from a single faucet, 2X faster than typical water filter products, Xtract™ uses GE 2X High Flow Filtration which reduces contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, chlorine, and lead.
How Xtract™ Works
Easily Switch from Tap Water to Filtered
Pfister®'s innovative engineering team has developed a unique filter solution that is activated through the faucet handle. The faucet functions like any other kitchen pull-down faucet. In addition, it dispenses cold filtered water by pushing the handle back.
The Filter
Simple to Install and Maintain
It's refreshingly simple. No costly professional installation like a reverse osmosis system. All Pfister faucets featuring Xtract™ use GE's 2X High Flow Filtration System, an advanced dual filter that is recyclable, lasts up to 6 months, and conveniently comes in the box. The GE 2X Filter is installed in the space directly below your sink. And it only takes 30 minutes!

-
Can this faucet dispense warm and hot filtered water?

-
Why is the faucet not dispensing filtered water all the time?
Limiting the filter mode to only drinking water use extends the filter life.

Water Pfacts
Your faucet is not connected to a glacial spring.
While a lot of our water does come from streams and rivers, the channels in which it flows may also run past urban cities, inustrial factories, and farms using pesticides.
Treatment plants can't do it all.
While wastewater plants send incoming wastewater through a thorough treatment and disinfectant process before releasing, they do not actually detoxify pesticides. Xtract removes pesticides from tap water.
Coffee
Beverages like coffee and tea can have stronger flavors and decreased steeping times when made with filtered water.
Bottled H20
In contrast to the EPA’s tap water requirements, the FDA cannot require certified lab testing or violation reporting of bottled water.
Healthy Plants
Some studies show that plants can survive longer in a vase of filtered water than unfiltered (weeks in some cases).
Cooking
Foods that show noticeable differences when cooked with filtered water are pastas and rice, which cook faster and have a creamier texture.
Filter pitchers can't catch select pharmaceuticals, pesticides, lead, or mercury-Xtract can.
Bottlers, some of which simply repackage tap water, do not typically treat or test for pharmaceuticals.
Gas can cost on average $3.51/gallon. Bottled water can cost up to $10/gallon!
