all drinking filters can only reduce heavy metal like 90-99% and not eliminate.
Basic carbon block can easily reduce
1) Chlorine
2) Bad taste and odor
3) Chloramines
4) Fine sediment
5) Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts
6) Organic chemicals such as pesticides and solvents
7) Heavy metals such as lead and mercury

Good if they can provide the report.
The size is about your hand palm.
Most of the water filter can reduce heavy metals.
Tap water is already mild alkaline as there are minerals present.
Another thing is the carbon material and built up, is it block or loose carbon powder? Ask them to show you. I am not sure for Cuckoo. Carbon block is more effective compared to loose powder.
Thanks, will look more details on the carbon block
