Puretec GC205 Granular Carbon 20 Micron 2.5" x 5" Replacement Cartridge

Restricted installation environments such as RVs, caravans, or single-tap kitchen units require chemical absorption within a compact physical footprint. This 5 inch granular carbon cartridge is specified for the reduction of unwanted taste, odor, and volatile chemicals in local water supplies. It serves as an effective polishing stage where housing height is limited but great-tasting clear water is a critical service requirement.

Performance metrics include a maximum flow rate of 7 L/Min and a precision 20 micron nominal filtration rating. The internal design allows water to pass through the entire length of the carbon bed, ensuring maximum absorption of pesticides and chemical additives. It maintains mechanical stability under standard pressurized conditions, facilitating a uniform fluid path through the granular matrix.

Design technology utilizes high-grade activated carbon designed for maximum surface contact with the influent water. It features an integrated 20 micron post-filter that helps remove carbon fines and suspended particles before they exit the cartridge. This construction incorporates an external expansion pad that minimizes the risk of fluid channeling or bypass during the filtration cycle.

Construction features a standard 2.5" x 5" housing footprint with a maximum liquid temperature rating of 51.7°C. This unit incorporates a support basket for the post-filter to ensure it remains secured under pressure. The unit fits all standard 5 inch pressurized housings, providing a durable chemical barrier in space-restricted residential installations where clarity and taste are primary requirements.
