This is a coconut shell activated carbon block cartridge that is rated at 5.0 microns nominal filtration (10 micron absolute). It improves the taste and odor by removing chlorine and is course enough to reduce sediment without significant reductions in flow rate. It meets the NSF Component Standard 42.
We use this cartridge in our systems as a substitute for customer's who have encountered significant reduction in flow rate while using finer cartridges. The flow rate problem is commonly due to sedimentcoming off of old galvanized pipes or being located at a dead end of the distribution system.
This is the substitute prefilter cartridge for the following models:
- All MB series filters
- Counter top Carbon Block
- Carbon Block
