$98.00
  • High chlorine reduction and dirt-holding capacity

  • High flow water filter cartridge with 20 GPM flow rate
  • Reduces offensive tastes and odors, chloramine, THMs, VOCs, MTBE, chlorine and other chemicals

Description

Activated coconut shell carbon block water filter cartridge - high chlorine reduction and dirt holding capacity, reduced carbon fines.

This high flow water filter cartridge reduces chlorine and has a huge dirt-holding capacity. Delivers a high flow rate of 20 gallons per minute and 80,000 gallon capacity. 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) or powdered activated carbon filter (PAC filter). This whole house water filter provides high chlorine reduction and significant dirt-holding capacity to remove sediment, sand, rust, and more.

This cartridge was previously called PS-RFC20-BB

Features

  • 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
  • Amazing flow rate of 20 gallons per minute, with very little pressure drop
  • Very long filter life of 80,000 gallons means you don’t have to change the filter as often compared to the Aqua Pure AP817-2 or other filters on the market
  • The unique radial flow design offers the benefits of low pressure drop while at the same time there is significantly less carbon fines released compared to granular activated carbon
  • Can be used in a variety of filtration applications such as residential, commercial, food service, or industrial

Specifications

  • Micron rating: 5 micron
  • Flow rate: 20 gallons per minute
  • Size: 4.5″ D X 20″ L
  • Filter life: 80,000 gallons

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

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.
