Product Description: Standard Coconut Shell Activated Carbon Block Water Filter (6 Pack)

When it comes to water filtration, carbon filters are the go-to solution, as they have been since ancient times. The Egyptians discovered that storing water in charcoal helped keep it fresher and tastier, and carbon has remained a staple in water treatment ever since, testament to its enduring effectiveness.

The Standard Activated Carbon Block filters are made from finely ground coconut shell carbon. They excel at removing unpleasant odors, colors, and tastes from a variety of organic compounds. These filters also effectively eliminate chemicals like iron, manganese, chlorine, and hydrogen sulfide from your water supply. By removing these unwanted byproducts, you can enjoy access to consistently fresh, clean water. Featuring a densely packed carbon cylinder design, these filters provide exceptionally fine filtration, trapping suspended particles and dirt.

Carbon is particularly adept at chlorine removal, outperforming all other filtration media in this regard.

What is Activated Carbon Block? There are many carbon varieties used in filtration, most commonly manufactured from coal. However, renewable resources like wood and nut shells, including coconut, are also utilized. Coconut shell carbon is growing in popularity not only because it is eco-friendly, but also because it produces great-tasting water and excels at removing troublesome trihalomethanes.

Beyond physical absorption, the Activated Carbon Block filter also employs a chemical process. Positively charged, it attracts and traps negatively charged particles like chlorine, benzene, and other volatile organic compounds, preventing them from ending up in your glass. The immense surface area of just one pound of carbon - equivalent to 125 acres - underscores its unparalleled absorption capabilities.

These CTO Water Filters Remove all Following Impurities These universal 2.5" x 9.875" activated carbon block filters are compatible with most standard under-sink reverse osmosis and other 10" water filtration systems. They're commonly used in pre- and post-filtration for reverse osmosis, as the carbon pre-filter removes free chlorine that can degrade the delicate TFC membranes over time. Post-filters then tackle any lingering tastes or odors.

Activated carbon block filters also excel in whole-house water systems, delivering chlorine and chloramine-free water throughout the home for drinking, cooking, bathing, and cleaning. Their extended lifespan makes them a highly effective, long-term water purification solution.

For under-counter and countertop filter systems, these carbon blocks provide the same chlorine and chloramine removal, directly purifying water at the tap for drinking and cooking.

Remarkable Dirt-Holding Capacity Compared to similar size block carbon filters, these cartridges demonstrate superior contaminant retention and flow rates. Capable of removing particles as small as 5 microns without compromising taste, odor, or clarity, they're ideal for residential, rural, commercial, industrial, and municipal applications.
