Description
A powerful, multi-functional filter cartridge for residential and commercial water purification systems. Heavy Metals ReductionFI-PB1 extruded activated carbon filters reduce soluble lead using an ion-exchange filter medium with high specificity for soluble lead. Particulate filtration is used to intercept insoluble lead-containing particles. Standard 2.50” O.D. x 9.75” L filters will reduce lead, meeting the performance requirements of NSF Standard 53 protocol for over 2,500 gallons when operating at a flow of 0.75 GPM. Chemical AdsorptionFI-PB1 filters offer high levels of chemical reduction in potable drinking water, including chlorine and other compounds that contribute to taste and odor. Particulate, Cyst and Turbidity ReductionFI-PB1 filters provide 99.98% reduction of 3-4 µm particulates, 99.96% reduction of 1-2 µm particulates, and are high-performance sediment filters with extended life. Graded-density pre-filtration combined with high dirt capacity extruded activated carbon provide several times greater life than molded filters. Standard filters are finished with an outer polypropylene spun-bonded pre-filtration medium overlying a second polypropylene melt-blown pre-filtration medium. A protective polypropylene netting is applied to the exterior of the cartridge. Polypropylene end caps with compression gaskets fit most standard housings. FI-PB1 filters consist of activated carbon particles fused into a uniform block with enhanced adsorptive capacity and efficiency. FI-PB1 filters flow in a radial (outside-to-inside) direction, providing increased dirt capacity and low-pressure drop. Unlike granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, cartridges will not channel or bypass due to the extreme uniformity of their extruded activated carbon core.
