SKU: BG-20PB-RC
$187.50
  • 0.5 micron catalytic activated carbon block water filter
  • Reduces lead (soluble and particulate), PFAS, chlorine, chloramine, taste, odor, cysts, and more
  • Drop-in cartridge provides quick and easy filter change
  • Outstanding chlorine taste and odor reduction
  • Fits any standard housing that uses 20" x 4.5" replacement filter cartridge

Description

0.5 Micron Catalytic Activated Carbon Block Water Filter for Lead, PFAS (forever chemicals), Heavy Metals, Chlorine, Chloramine, Taste, Odor, VOC, and Cyst Reduction. Fits any standard housing that uses 20″ x 4.5″ replacement filter cartridges.

The BG-20PB-RC is a high performance catalytic activated carbon block filter formulated for heavy metal and cyst reduction. It has outstanding chlorine taste and odor reduction too. This drop-in cartridge provides quick and easy filter change. The BG-20PB-RC has high contaminant holding capacity. It reduces lead (soluble and particulate), Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS – also called “forever chemicals”), heavy metals, chlorine, chloramine, volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), cysts, sand, rust, sediment, and more.

Features

  • 0.5 micron nominal filtration reduces lead, PFAS, heavy metals, chlorine, chloramine, VOCs (volatile organic chemicals), cysts, sand, rust, sediment, and more
  • High dirt holding capacity
  • High adsorptive capacity and efficiency
  • Drop-in cartridge provides quick and easy filter change
  • Outstanding chlorine taste and odor reduction
  • Coconut shell activated catalytic carbon is an eco-friendly and renewable resource for water purification. It also has a higher contaminant removal than a granular activated carbon filter (GAC filter) which means better tasting water too
  • Coconut shell is microporous with minimal dust, and therefore is very efficient at organic chemical adsorption. Coconut shell carbon block filters have high hardness which makes them ideal for water purification.
  • Estimated capacity: 96%+ reduction of 8.5 pH lead; 95%+ reduction of VOC; 90%+ reduction in chlorine at 2 ppm; 83%+ reduction in chloramine at 3ppm
  • The unique radial flow design (outside-to-inside) provides increased dirt-holding capacity and low pressure drop while significantly reducing the release of carbon fines

Specifications

  • Micron: 0.5 Micron
  • Flow rate: 7 gallons per minute (dependent on incoming water flow)
  • Dimensions: 24″ H X 7.75″ D

Filtration Process

Mechanical - A physical barrier traps particles to remove them from water.

Adsorption - Traps particles and some dissolved contaminants through physical and chemical interactions.

Ultrafiltration - Removes ultrafine particles and bacteria.

Multi-stage - Multiple filter stages that target specific contaminants.

Reverse Osmosis - Removes all contaminants to produce pure water.

Alkaline - Increases alkalinity (pH) and antioxidant level.

Adsorption
Type of Filter

Activated Carbon Block - Removes chlorine, organic compounds, and other contaminants from water.

Catalytic Carbon - Removes chloramines and some heavy metals; more effective chlorine and organic compound removal than activated carbon block filters.

Anti Scale - Prevents hard water scale and corrosion.

Sediment - Removes suspended particles such as sand, dirt, rust, and sediment from water.

Pleated - Removes bacteria, viruses, ultrafine particles, and other contaminants from water.

Granular Activated Carbon - Removes chlorine and some other contaminants; less effective particulate filtration compared to carbon block filters.
