Pentek CCBC-10 Coconut Carbon Block Filter Cartridge, 9-3/4″ x 2-7/8″, 1 Micron

This Pentek CCBC-10 coconut carbon block filter cartridge reduces fine sediment and chlorine taste and odor in residential and commercial drinking water. It has a nominal (85%) filtration rating of 1 micron. It’ll reduce free available chlorine (FAC) at 2 parts per million (ppm) by at least 75% in up to 20,000 gallons at a go with the flow rate of 1 gallon per minute (gpm). The cartridge is made of water-washed coconut shell based carbon block media enclosed in a polyolefin wrap pre-filter and polyethylene outer netting. The nitrile butadiene rubber (Buna-N) gaskets seal the cartridge against the housing (sold one by one). The filter has an initial pressure drop of 3.3 pounds per square inch (psi) at a really helpful go with the flow rate of 1 gpm, and operates over a temperature range of 40 to 125 degrees F (4.4 to 51.7 degrees C). This carbon block filter cartridge meets National Sanitation Foundation/American National Standards Institute (NSF/ANSI) standard 42 for quality assurance, and is for purification of residential and commercial drinking water.

Specifications

The nominal filtration rating is for a particle removal efficiency of 85%. Chlorine reduction capacity is the minimum total amount of water for which the free available chlorine (FAC) at a concentration of 2 ppm is reduced by at least 75%.

H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.

Water filters remove undesirable particles, chemicals, and microorganisms from water by way 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. For most residential, commercial, and industrial applications, water filters are manufactured in the form of replaceable cartridges that fit inside permanent housings. Filtration systems in most cases consist of a series of two or more types of filters, each designed to take away different contaminants. The performance of filters 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 go with the flow rate, and the amount of water that may be filtered before the filter will have to be replaced. Water filters are used in quite a lot of applications, including drinking water purification, swimming pools, industrial processes, and irrigation, among others.
