KX_CTO-10-Matrikx 32-250-10-Matrikx 2 X 9 (70MMX 248MM) MATRIKX CTO filters.-> 100% coconut shell carbon, a renewable, and ecologically sustainable material. The carbon is processed into blocks using a unique binder system and proprietary manufacturing techniques to produce filters with a greater number of micro-pores and available carbon surface area, which display superior capacity kinetic dynamics.

-> Chlorine and Chloramine reduction

-> 5 Micron nominal contaminant reduction

-> Excellent chemical contaminant reduction*

-> High dirt holding capacity

-> High adsorptive capacity & efficiency -

> NSF & WQA certified for Material safety

-> California Prop. 65 complaint

Benefits of Carbon Block Filters vs. Conventional GAC Filters:

-> Chlorine Taste and Odour Reduction as well as Dirt and Sediment Removal: for better tasting drinking water, and protection of downstream equipment.

-> No release of carbon fines: Extruded carbon filters do not release activated carbon particles ("gray water") during startup or operation. Extensive flushing or "activation" of extruded filter elements is not required.

-> No channeling, fluidising, or bypassing: Extruded carbon is a rigid structure that prevents movement of the adsorbent particles or the formation of channels and defects in the adsorbent structure.

-> Low pressure drop: Water flows through an extruded filter element in the "radial" direction (from the outside of the filter element to the inside). This results in nearly fifteen times more pre - filtration surface area and a much lower flow "density".

-> Low binder content and high dirt capacity: Only a small amount of thermoplastic binder is used in the extrusion process, about one-half of what is used in a molded carbon block.
