Puretec GC202 Granular Carbon 20 Micron 2.5" x 20" Replacement Cartridge

Point-of-use distribution systems requiring chemical reduction utilize specialized 20 inch granular carbon cartridges to manage larger volumes of mains water. This model addresses unwanted taste, odor, volatile chemicals, and pesticides in residential or commercial environments. It is specified for installations where clarified drinking water is required for high-demand areas such as large kitchens or breakout spaces.

Hydraulic performance is rated for a maximum flow of 27 L/Min with a 20 micron post-filter rating to capture sediment and carbon fines. The unit operates reliably under standard pressure conditions, facilitating a uniform fluid path through the elongated granular carbon structure to maximize contaminant contact time. The design ensures great-tasting clear water for a variety of domestic drinking water applications.

Internal technology features high-grade activated carbon and a unique design that removes more contaminants while providing a long service life. It incorporates an external expansion pad that minimizes channeling or bypass, ensuring all influent water passes through the entire length of the carbon bed. The integrated post-filter is permanently fastened to a support basket to eliminate any potential of bypass before the water exits the cartridge.

Construction features an architectural length of 20 inches with a standard 2.5 inch diameter, ensuring compatibility with elongated filter housings. It operates in liquids up to a maximum temperature of 51.7°C and features gaskets manufactured from Buna-N and Santoprene. This unit provides a high-capacity chemical barrier, providing reduction of taste, odour, chlorine, chemicals and sediment in residential networks over extended service intervals.
