Puretec MC951 Moulded Carbon 0.5 Micron 2.5" x 10" Replacement Cartridge

Drinking water systems in residential environments require high-performance components to manage chlorine taste, odor, and sediment. This 10 inch moulded carbon cartridge utilizes specialized technology to provide superior sediment reduction while reducing chlorine, taste and odour in mains water. It is suitable for point-of-use systems where clarified, high-purity water is a primary requirement for domestic consumption.

Performance metrics include a maximum flow rate of 15 L/Min and a precise 0.5 micron nominal rating. This unit features modified moulded block technology that attaches powdered activated carbon onto a synthetic fiber matrix. This architecture provides up to three times the chlorine taste and odour reduction and dirt-holding capacity of traditional carbon blocks while maintaining a low pressure drop throughout its service cycle.

Internal design combines the benefits of a sediment filter and a carbon block into a single architectural component. It includes a unique post-filtration layer fused to the media blend, which prevents the release of carbon fines into the effluent water stream. This construction is highly resistant to premature plugging, ensuring consistent hydraulic performance even in water supplies with elevated particulate loads.

Mechanical specifications feature a standard 2.5" x 10" footprint, manufactured entirely from FDA-compliant materials for food-grade safety. It operates in liquids up to a maximum temperature of 82.2°C and features gaskets manufactured from Santoprene for reliable sealing. This unit provides a durable solution for total water clarification, managing chemical additives in pressurized domestic distribution points.
