Carbon is a very versatile and highly effective water treatment medium. It has immense surface area. Approximately half a kilogram of carbon contains a surface area of over 50 hectares (0.5 square kilometers). It is the best known treatment for organic chemicals, volatile organic chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, chlorine and its by-products. It is also an unchallenged taste-and-odor improver. When arranged in solid carbon or extruded carbon block format, it also provides very high quality particulate filtration, in some cases down into the submicron level.

Cartridge Guide

Filter cartridge manufacturers rate cartridges in "microns". Microns are a size measurement of the pore size, so the smaller the number, the tighter the filter. Normally one-micron Carbon Block Water Filter Cartridges are for drinking water only. In general, they are too tight to filter large amounts of water without slowing the flow to unacceptable levels.

This cartridge is a 0.5 micron, so very fine filtration. Unfortunately to remove colour from the water we require a fine filter cartridge like this, the issue with fine filter cartridges on the whole house is they can block up faster, so ensure you have good sediment protection in front of this cartridge to stop the sediment blocking the cartridge.

Carbon block cartridges are available in a variety of sizes and flow rates, and effectively provide good general-purpose drinking water filtration.
