As the water passes through this cartridge slowly, the contact time with the cartridge allows for such a wide range of contaminant removal. Manufactured for Filteroo Australia who guarantee high-quality materials are always used. This single carbon block gravity cartridge is a highly efficient filter suitable to remove unwanted contaminants from any water supply.
