The part number on our filters represents the media (first two letters); the length and diameter (first two numbers); and micron rating (last number).
What are the Carbon Block Water Filters applications?
- Ideal for use in drinking fountains as well as under the counter systems with 10" x 2.5" housings.
- Ideal for whole house water filters and higher flow rates (10" x 4.5" or 20" x 4.5" filter).
- Work for treated water (municipal, town, government water).
Recommendations
-
- If installed under the sink, this filter needs a dedicated drinking faucet to filter water at 2.8 LPM.
- If installed for the whole house, this filter needs a pre-filter (sediment filter) to protect the carbon filter.
-
- If installed without a sediment pre-filter, dirt will cover the carbon pores and will prevent them from adsorbing impurities and chemicals.
Specifications
-
- Reduce Chlorine, Taste, Odours.
- Flow Rate:
- Operating Temperature: 2°C to 38°C
- Maximum Pressure: 125 psi
- Model: Element filter for housings
- Certification: ANSI and NSF 42 for chlorine taste and odours.
What's the Carbon Block Filtration Media?
- When water passes through the Carbon Block Filters, water is forced through the small pores of the Coconut Shell Activated Carbon Block Cartridge, where mechanical filtration and physical/ chemical adsorption reduce chlorine, taste and odour, sediments, and a wide range of contaminants of concern including VOCs.
How often should I replace the filters?
- Replacement Frequency depends on water quality and usage.
- Recommendation:
- 10" x 2.5" Every Year.
- 10" x 4.5" Every 6 months.
- 20" x 4.5" Every Year.
