Puretec MC011 Moulded Carbon 1 Micron 2.5" x 10" Replacement Cartridge

Point-of-use distribution systems require components that manage sediment concentrations and chemical additives without compromising supply pressure. This 10 inch moulded carbon cartridge is specified for the reduction of chlorine, bad taste, and odor in residential plumbing. It is suitable for installations where clarified water is required for food service or domestic kitchen taps, providing a barrier against unwanted contaminants.

Hydraulic output is rated at a maximum flow of 16 L/Min while achieving a fine 1 micron nominal filtration level. The unit features modified moulded blocks that combine chemical absorption with superior sediment reduction. It maintains hydraulic stability throughout its service cycle, ensuring consistent discharge pressure even in environments with moderate particulate loads in the influent supply.

Internal technology utilizes powdered activated carbon attached to a cellulose-free synthetic fiber matrix. This architecture provides up to three times the chlorine taste and odour reduction and dirt-holding capacity of traditional carbon blocks, preventing surface blinding and premature plugging. The design includes a fused post-filtration layer that ensures no carbon fines are released into the discharge stream, maintaining the aesthetic quality of the drinking water.

Mechanical specifications include a height of 10 inches and a standard 2.5 inch diameter, fitting all standard industry housings. It is manufactured from FDA-compliant materials and operates in liquids up to a maximum temperature of 82.2°C. This unit provides a durable solution for clarified water, ensuring that chemicals and silt are effectively managed before distribution to the household faucets.
