Cartridge Information

This cartridge pack is made up of 3 x replacement cartridges.

1. Is 2 x Filteroo® 8” Rain & City Water Gravity Carbon Block Filter Cartridges. 
   
2. Is 2 x Filteroo® MAX Fluoride Reduction Cartridges.

This replacement cartridge pack is created for the Filteroo® Steel gravity water filters. But it is suitable for any gravity water filter that these cartridges will fit inside to create fresh gravity filtered water with extra minerals to elevate the pH level to a high alkaline.

The beauty of the Filteroo® rain & city water carbon block cartridges, combined with the Filteroo® MAX Fluoride reduction cartridge & mineral pad, is they team up to create the perfect filtration solution for town & city water from the tap that has been treated with chlorine, chemicals and fluoride.

This is the combination of 3 x cartridges. To start the water filters down through the Filteroo® fast flowing carbon block cartridge. The carbon media used will greatly reduce herbicides, pesticides, chlorine, chloramines, taste & odour from the water. So you get nice tasty drinking water for your home. Carbon is internationally recognized by institutions that provide quality assurance on safe and pure drinking water. A great asset for any Australian water filter.

As the water passes through the first carbon filtration stage it exits & flows into the fluoride reduction cartridge. Here the fluoride, arsenic, lead & heavy metal ions are removed. The water continues on its journey through the fluoride reduction cartridge which also has granular activated carbon in the bottom of the cartridge. Carbon is a fantastic way to clean & polish up water so it tastes the best it can. The carbon inside this cartridge does just that, after the fluoride filtration the last carbon polishes up the water so you get sweet lovely tasty water every time.

Benefits

• Highly efficient bacteriological filtration.
• The incorporation of silver locked within the carbon structure inhibits the growth of bacteria and gives enhanced bacteriostatic and self sterilizing properties.
• This carbon block cartridge has a massive surface area for effective filtration – providing fresh tasting water without any unpleasant taste or odour.
• Removes bugs, bacteria, virus, chlorine, chloramine, herbicides, pesticides, heavy metals & fluoride.
• Extra added carbon polishes the water for the best taste possible
• The mineral pad adds healthy benificial minerals to elevate the pH of the water.

Quality water filtration with the minerals Retained

This carbon block gravity cartridge is 200mm high x 60mm wide in diameter. It is the perfect solution for any Filteroo® Steel gravity water filter which is used to filter treated city tap water.

It is a great choice with a standard 12.5mm threaded end to install into any gravity water filter so long as the gravity water filter top tank has a minimum hole size of 12.5mm or a maximum hole size around 20mm. (Note: You can drill or file the hole in your water filter top tank to be 12.5mm if required.)

It flows at a much faster flow rate than the ceramic gravity candles, it has fantastic test results and creates contaminant free healthy tasty water.

You have great protection from bugs & bacteria, it has super high removal rates for the common contaminants like chlorine & chlorine by-products, plus it will protect you from any herbicides & pesticides or heavy metals that may be in the water.

This Filteroo® rain & city water carbon block gravity water filtration cartridge is made from the highest quality carbon. It combines mechanical filtration and physical adsorption processes to reduce a wide variety of drinking water contaminants of both aesthetic and health concerns.

This cartridge has a smooth outer shell compressed to repel any sediments, cysts, bugs or bacteria. The pore structure of the carbon enables sufficient contact time for this cartridge to be ideally suited to improving taste and odour.

To guarantee performance replace every 2000 Litres or every 12 months when water flow becomes to slow, whichever comes first.

Long-Lasting Service Life Of 12 Months

Cartridges are very easy to replace and only have to be changed over as required, or every 12 months, whichever comes first. They have a recommended maximum life of 2000 litres.

Due to the filtration of particulate & sediments from the water during use, the flow of water from the filter may reduce over a period of time.

If your cartridge water flow rate slows down it is normally only because the outside of the cartridge has blocked with fine sediments. These sediments do build up and can slow the flow rate over time dependant on the volume of sediments in the water supply used to fill the top tank.

To restore the water flow to its normal level, simply remove the cartridge and follow the backwashing instructions to backflush the cartridge and push sediments back out of the cartridge.

If after backwashing the water flow is still slow, you can also get some 100 grit sandpaper or a new Skotchbrite scour pad & scrub the outside of the cartridge under a flowing tap, ensuring that the open-ended thread does not contact the water to avoid contamination. Scrub harshly as this cartridge is quite thick & can be scrubbed clean many times.

Cleanliness is important, wash your hands before handling the cartridge and take care to ensure that no contamination of the cartridge occurs during cleaning. Use a glove or similar so your hands don't touch the cartridge as much as possible.

Filteroo® MAX Fluoride Reduction Cartridge

This Filteroo® MAX fluoride reduction cartridge is a great way to remove fluoride from your drinking water with a gravity water filter. It is a container made from 304-grade stainless steel that holds fluoride reduction media inside, and it is refillable. So no more plastic cartridges hanging down into your drinking water, no more plastic waste every time you change and throw away a used cartridge.

Simply purchase a refill pack when required, and change the satchel inside the holder. Plus, this cartridge is much cheaper to replace than completely new plastic cartridges. Save the environment and drink tastier water with no plastic cartridges hanging in your filtered drinking water.

Simply flush the cartridge as per the included instructions, then screw to attach the MAX fluoride cartridge onto the threads of the Black Carbon Block cartridges so the MAX fluoride cartridge hangs down into the bottom water storage tank. 

As the water is filtered through the carbon block cartridges in the top tank, the water will continue its journey down through the MAX fluoride cartridge removing fluoride. A simple slow filtration process which allows the water to have sufficient contact time with the cartridge media to remove that unwanted fluoride. 

What Makes This Product Unique

The reason this product is so unique is because the outer housing is made from quality stainless steel. No more plastic hanging in your drinking water. Plus when the media inside the housing expires, you can simply replace the media with a refill satchel. So no plastic waste like with the old-style fluoride removal cartridges. Now you are only replacing the media inside the housing with the new satchel. Environmentally friendly is the best way to go.

Filteroo® Mineral Pad

This mineral pad is supplied to add extra beneficial healthy minerals into the water prior to drinking. As the water dissolves the added minerals, that will increase the pH level of the water to be a high alkaline. 

The mineral pad can be given a light scrub on the outside if ever required? Then rinsed under cold water if needed & placed back into the bottom tank. Always give the mineral pad a quick gentle rinse when new prior to use to remove any mineral fines.

It is approximately 290 grams in weight, 30mm high & 144 mm in diameter

NEVER WASH WITH DETERGENTS OR SECOND-HAND SCOURER PADS.

If the filter is left to stand for more than 3 - 4 days without use, it is recommended that one litre of water be allowed to flow through the cartridge to waste before using.

Installing the carbon gravity cartridge

When installing or replacing any water filtration cartridges, ensure you know what you are doing or have a qualified person to help you or contact us for assistance. Please find paper instructions inside every cartridge box.

• Cleanliness is important. Wash hands before handling the cartridge and take care to ensure that no contamination of the cartridge occurs during assembly.
• Pre prime the cartridge as instructed in the priming instructions..
• Use a glove or similar so your hands don't touch the cartridge as much as possible.
• Remove the locking nut & leave the sealing washer over the threaded stem.
• Place the filter candle thread through the hole in the upper section of the top housing from the inside out and secure it with the wing nut.
• Do not overtighten.
• Ensure that the outlet tap is in the off position.
• Fill the upper chamber with cold water and allow this to filter down through to the lower section.
• It is recommended that this first supply of filtered water is thrown away, as it may contain material washed from the filter element.
• Some black carbon fines may be seen when first using but this is harmless & will stop fast.
• Fill the upper chamber again, open the outlet tap and allow this water to run to waste again.
• We recommend flowing at least 12 litres of water through the cartridge to waste until it is tasty and flowing clear.

Installing the Filteroo® Mineral Pad

• If you are using the mineral pad, rinse that under water for 5 seconds to remove any media fines & sit the pad on the inside base of your Filteroo® gravity water filter.

The filter is now ready for use.

Fully Disposable Cartridges

You can break up the old carbon cartridges with a hammer into small pieces and put the crushed carbon into the garden, then place the plastic end caps into the recycling bin. Or, simply wrap your worn-out cartridges up in old newspaper and place them into your rubbish bin.

The fluoride max cartridge can be wrapped into old newspaper & thrown in the bin.
