Puretec CB952 Carbon Block 0.5 Micron 2.5" x 20" Replacement Cartridge

Point-of-use distribution systems requiring high flow and microbial cyst reduction utilize specialized 20 inch cartridges to manage large volumes of water. This model addresses chlorine, bad taste, odor, and fine silt in residential or commercial environments. It is specified for installations where clarified drinking water is required at high velocities, such as large family kitchens or office areas.

Hydraulic performance is rated for a maximum flow of 28 L/Min with a precision 0.5 micron nominal rating. This configuration provides 99.9% reduction of Cryptosporidium and Giardia cysts while providing a chlorine reduction capacity of 170,343 L. The unit operates reliably under pressure conditions up to 900 kPa, facilitating a uniform fluid path through the elongated carbon structure to maximize contaminant contact time.

Internal technology features a bonded activated carbon block manufactured without the use of cellulose, preventing bacterial attack in varied water conditions. It incorporates SilverPlus Anti-bacterial Technology to inhibit the growth of biofilm within the media. The technology is engineered for chemical absorption and mechanical straining without the release of carbon fines into the effluent water stream.

Construction features an architectural length of 20 inches with a standard 2.5 inch diameter, ensuring compatibility with standard elongated filter housings. It operates in liquids up to a maximum temperature of 82°C and is WaterMark certified for mechanical safety. This unit provides a high-capacity barrier against suspended solids and chemicals, ensuring water quality over extended service intervals.
