Puretec MC052 Moulded Carbon 5 Micron 2.5" x 20" Replacement Cartridge

Whole-house filtration systems or commercial plumbing points requiring high-throughput utilize specialized 20 inch moulded carbon cartridges to handle large volumes of water. This model addresses bad taste, odor, chlorine, and sediment in residential or office environments. It is specified for vertical installation in standard 20 inch housings where clarified water is required for both consumption and the protection of internal fixture components.

Hydraulic output is rated at a maximum flow of 22 L/Min, achieving effective clarification down to a 5 micron nominal rating. The media consists of powdered activated carbon attached to a synthetic fiber matrix, providing up to three times the chlorine taste and odour reduction and dirt-holding capacity of traditional carbon blocks. It maintains hydraulic stability and low pressure drop throughout its service life, ensuring consistent supply pressure during peak demand periods.

Internal technology combines the mechanical straining of a sediment filter with the chemical absorption of a carbon block in a single component. This architecture is highly resistant to premature plugging and prevents the release of carbon fines through a fused post-filtration layer. The design manages chemical additives and organic compounds while mechanically trapping rust and silt within the moulded carbon structure.

Mechanical specifications feature a 20 inch height and a 2.5 inch diameter, manufactured entirely from FDA-compliant materials for food-grade safety. It operates within a liquid temperature range up to 82.2°C and features Santoprene gaskets for reliable structural sealing. This unit provides a durable solution for large-volume water treatment, maintaining high clarity and taste standards across the entire household network.
