10" x 4.5" 5 Micron Coconut Shell Carbon Block Filter with Scale Inhibitor

5 Micron, High-flow Coconut Shell Carbon Block Filter Cartridge with Corrosion and Scale Inhibitor Protection

The Premiere BG-10CS coconut shell carbon block filter cartridge is a premium, 10 inch filter that absorbs harmful contaminants and improves the appearance and taste of drinking water. It also contains corrosion and scale inhibitor product that will remove existing scale deposits, prevent scale, and stop corrosion.

Coconut shell carbon block technology is an eco-friendly and renewable resource for water purification. A carbon block filter provides better contaminant removal than a granular activated carbon filter (GAC filter). The BG-10CS is a high performance coconut shell carbon block filter providing an outstanding flow rate of 10 gallons per minute, and 40,000 gallon capacity. It will fit standard filter housings made for 4.5″ x 10″ replacement cartridges.

• Siliphos scale inhibitor product prevents scale and stops corrosion. It works by forming a thin protective layer on the metal surface to inhibit the deposition of scale and corrosion
• Protects from hard water lime scale build-up
• High chlorine reduction and dirt-holding capacity
• 5 micron rating removes sediment, rust, dirt, and other particulates as small as 5 micron
• Also reduces offensive tastes and odors, chloramine, THMs (trihalomethanes), VOCs (volatile organic chemicals), MTBE (methane tertiary butyl ether), and more
• Premium carbon block filter cartridge with hard water scale inhibitor protection: we are the only company to offer this style of “triple action filter” with scale inhibitor!
• Amazing flow rate of up to 10 gallons per minute, with very little pressure drop
• Very long filter life of 40,000 gallons means you don’t have to change the filter as often compared to other filters on the market
• Coconut shell carbon block filters have higher contaminant removal than a granular activated carbon filter (GAC filter) which means better tasting water
• Coconut shell carbon block technology is eco-friendly
• Can be used in a variety of filtration applications such as residential, commercial, food service, or industrial

• Micron rating: 5 micron
• Flow rate: up to 10 gallons per minute (water pressure dependent)
• Size: 4.5″ D X 10″ L
• Filter life: up to 40,000 gallons

Capacity may vary according to flow rate, inlet line pressure and local water conditions which may require more frequent cartridge replacement.

What is a coconut shell carbon block filter?

Coconut shell carbon filters adsorb harmful contaminants and improve the appearance and taste of drinking water. 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.

Coconut shells are also an eco-friendly and renewable resource for water purification. Coconuts are harvested three times per year and their harvest has no negative impact on coconut trees. That is, a coconut tree will continue to grow and produce coconuts throughout the year even after its coconuts are harvested.

What is the difference between solid carbon block filters and a granular activated carbon filter (GAC filter)?

Solid carbon block filters have compressed carbon whereas a granular activated carbon filter (GAC filter) contains loose granules of carbon. A major advantage of carbon block filters is that they allow for water to be in contact with carbon for a longer period, which leads to a better contaminant removal. The BG-10CS is a solid carbon block filter.
