This Carbon Block filter has a particle retention size of 5 micron, and is suitable for drinking water filtration applications.

It has coconut shell activated carbon filter media to reduce unpleasant taste and odor from drinking water. This filter has a 4.5" outside diameter (OD) and an overall length of 20".

It has an operating temperature range of 40 to 180 degrees F, and a maximum pressure rating of 250 pounds per square inch (psi).

This carbon block filter is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Standard 42 for material requirements only, and is suitable for use in water dispensing applications where higher chlorine levels are present.

This filter removes undesirable particles, chemicals, and microorganisms from water by means of a semipermeable barrier, adsorption, or biological processes. They are made of densely packed synthetic or natural fibers that trap suspended particles, materials that block microbes or adsorb unwanted chemicals, or substances that cause a chemical change, such as acid neutralization.

Filter Performance is measured by the minimum particle size that is blocked, the percentage of particles or microorganisms that are removed, the downstream concentration of unwanted chemicals, the maximum flow rate, and the amount of water that can be filtered before the filter must be replaced.

For use in a wide range of applications, including drinking water purification, swimming pools, industrial processes, and irrigation, among others.
