Carbon Cartridges

The primary functions of activated carbon are the removal of chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chlorinated hydrocarbons and organic impurities whilst acting as a mechanical filter for particulate reduction due to the cartridge construction.

Standard applications, although carbon is used for many bespoke purposes, are numerous and as the adsorption capabilities and capacities are explored further, the employment of activated carbon is increasing.

Commonly Used To Reduce: Chlorine, Chloramine, Organics, Taste and odour, Heavy metals and Colour

Aquafilter Aquafilter FCCBHD10BB 10" Big Blue GAC coconut shell activated carbon cartridge

Aquafilter FCCBHD10BB 10" Big Blue ( 10"x 4 1/2") GAC coconut shell series cartridges have been our most popular carbon cartridges for years. GAC-type cartridges are designed such that water flows from bottom to top, ensuring long contact time, allowing for maximum adsorption and treatment. Utilizing a highly efficient longitudinal flow for greater carbon contact time, FCCBHD10BB is ideal where a long contact time allows for high chlorine as well as other organic reductions. Using a clean, water-washed NSF approved coconut shell activated carbon with a large mesh size, this granular range is primarily a chlorine, taste and odour reduction cartridge with the advantage of a post-filter pad to prevent carbon from being washed out and to avoid blockage if high particulate is present. According to internal laboratory studies cartridge removes 99% of free chlorine, 85% of certain pesticides, solvents, aromatic hydrocarbons, fenol, benzen and other organic compounds.Specifications Media: FDA and NSF approved Coconut Shell GAC Filter Life : 6 -12 months Size : 10” x 4 1/2” Operating Pressure: 6 bar Min. feedwater temp. 2°C Max. feedwater temp. 55°C Contaminant Removal: Chlorine, VOC's End caps: PP Gasket: Silicone Body: HDPE Post-filter: PP

Pentair Pentair GAC-10 Granular Activated Carbon Filter 20 micron

Pentair GAC Series Cartridges effectively reduce unwanted tastes and odours, including chlorine taste & odour from your drinking water.* They are designed to allow maximum contact between the water and carbon, ensuring optimal adsorption.The construction of the cartridge allows water to enter at one end and pass through the entire length of the carbon bed before exiting the other end of the cartridge, while an internal expansion pad minimizes channelling or bypass. Before the water exits the cartridge, a post-filter helps reduce carbon fines and other suspended particles from the filtered water.The post-filter is permanently fastened to an innovative support basket ensuring that it is firmly secured and eliminating any potential for bypass.GAC Series Cartridges are available in a variety of sizes and flow rates, and effectively provide good general-purpose drinking water filtration.Features and Benefits Effective reduction of bad taste & odour and chlorine & odour reduction Designed for optimal adsorption Post-filter to reduce carbon fines Available in a variety of sizes and flow rates

Pentair Pentair CFB Plus Carbon Fibredyne Modified Block Filter 10"

Carbon cartridges made with Fibredyne™ technology are far more advanced than traditional carbon block cartridges. Benefits of higher flow rates, lower pressure drops, higher treatment capacity and less susceptibility to premature blocking from sediment make them the leading carbon cartridges on the market.The fibres (coated in powdered activated carbon) have a very large surface area to offer increased capacity, more flow paths to allow for increased flow and reduced pressure drop and also create areas where sediment can be trapped.The construction methods used to manufacture Fibredyne™ cartridges allow for a variety of constituents to be incorporated that solve specific application problems. Lead and other heavy metals removal can be targeted, Cryptosporidium and Giardia cysts removed and developments that produce no fines or Sulphur release is a particular benefit in electroplating applications. Fibredyne™ technology also enables the use of moulded Santoprene gaskets, meaning no glues are used and the risk of end-caps being left in the housing during cartridge change is vastly reduced.Key Product Features Outstanding sediment reduction ensures less plugging, meaning the CFB-Plus achieves its full chlorine reduction capacity 100% more chlorine, taste and odour reduction than original carbon blocks Unique post filtration layer, fused to carbon/fibre media prevents carbon fines being released into the effluent stream Tested and certified by NSF International to ANSI/NSF Standard 42 Manufactured entirely from FDA compliant materials Part Numbers: CFB-PLUS-10, CFB-PLUS-20, CFB-PLUS-30, CFB-PLUS-10BB, CFB-PLUS-20BB
