The Aquafilter FCCBKDF2 is a 10-inch slimline multi-media water filter cartridge combining coconut-shell granular activated carbon (GAC), KDF® media and ion-exchange softening resin. Designed for compatible standard 10-inch filter housings, it helps reduce chlorine, improve water taste and odour, and reduce water hardness.
Unlike a conventional activated carbon cartridge, the FCCBKDF2 combines three different filtration media to provide complementary treatment processes in one cartridge.
Three filtration media in one cartridge
The FCCBKDF2 contains three principal media:
1. Coconut-shell granular activated carbon (GAC)
The activated carbon helps reduce free chlorine and selected organic compounds that can affect water taste and odour. It also helps reduce certain solvents and organic substances.
2. KDF® media
KDF uses an oxidation-reduction (redox) process to help reduce chlorine and selected dissolved contaminants, including certain heavy metals, iron and hydrogen sulphide. It also helps inhibit bacterial growth within the filtration media.
3. Ion-exchange softening resin
The ion-exchange resin helps reduce water hardness by exchanging calcium and magnesium ions. This can help reduce the hardness contribution of the incoming water, although the cartridge has a finite softening capacity and is not a replacement for a dedicated whole-house water softener.
Designed for standard 10-inch slimline housings
The FCCBKDF2 measures approximately 9 7/8 inches long and 2.5 inches in diameter.

Aquafilter FCCST 10" Water softening cartridge. FCCST utilizes FDA-grade, sodium, based, strongly acidic ion-exchange resin which reduces calcium and magnesium ion content in water. Calcium and magnesium are often called "hardness minerals". Large amounts of these ions in water are responsible for the formation of scale deposits, higher detergent consumption and stains on glassware. In extreme cases large amounts of calcium and magnesium can lead to glass etching. Hard water damages home appliances such as: tea kettles, dishwashers and washing machines, and increases their energy consumption. Hard water leaves an invisible film on skin, which blocks pores. This in turns causes chapping, itching and dryness. Softened water contains almost no calcium & magnesium. It enables people to use lesser quantities of soap, shampoo, and skin care products. Moreover, detergent consumption is reduced. Aquafilter FCCST can be used in every POU application where soft water is required. Aquafilter FCCST series cartridges are an effective and efficient solution for POE and POU applications. Their undeniable benefit is ease of installation and changeout. Cartridges include pre- and post-filters, preventing media particles from being washed out. Cartridges are available in various capacities to meet Customer demands.
