Chlorine Taste and Odor Removal Filter from Water.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
TYPICAL USES
MATRIKX® CTO® filters are the most widely used compact activated carbon filters in the world and provide unprecedented performance. MATRIKX® CTO® filters simultaneously remove chlorine taste and odor and organic chemicals that contribute to bad taste and odor while providing solid particle removal such as an efficient 5µm nominal filtration solid particle filter. These filters are designed for applications where they can act as both a particulate filter and an activated carbon filter.
Specifications
*Based on the manufacturer's internal testing.
KX®'s proprietary filter manufacturing process provides the ability to manufacture an activated carbon filter with more carbon but reduced pressure drop. This allows the MATRIKX® CTO® filter to provide extended service life while removing solid particles, chlorine taste and odor, and organic contaminants from water, aqueous solutions, or suspensions. MATRIKX® CTO® can be used to remove organic compounds from water. MATRIKX® CTO® is ideal for use in residential and commercial water treatment systems, for food service, before and after reverse osmosis systems. MATRIKX® CTO® is made of high-quality activated carbon. The ability to retain solid particles, mud, and soils and the absence of carbon residue makes this filter the best choice. This superior MATRIKX® CTO® activated carbon filter combines high performance and reliability with excellent value for money.
EXCITED CHARCOAL = GREAT PRICE
MATRIKX® CTO® filters consist of activated carbon particles fused into a uniform block with enhanced absorbent capacity and efficiency. MATRIKX® CTO® filters flow in a radial (out-to-in) direction, providing increased solids retention capacity and low-pressure drop. Unlike granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, MATRIKX® CTO® filters do not bleed or bypass due to the extreme uniformity of their activated carbon core. The life of the MATRIKX® CTO® filter is greatly extended due to the pre-filter it uses.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Performance requirements are based on a complete system, including a filter, tank, and connection to a pressurized water source. This filter must be placed in an appropriate system, and operated within the system's specifications, in order to deliver the required performance. It is essential to follow the operational, maintenance, and replacement requirements of the filter as per the instructions for each application so that the filter and system will function properly. Read the manufacturer's performance data sheet that came with the system and change the filter as recommended. Impurities or other substances removed or reduced by this water filter are not necessarily present in all users' water.
NOTES
1. Predicted ability to reduce chlorine taste and odor when tested in accordance with NSF/ANSI Standard 42 protocol.2. Nominal particle assessment (5μm) is for >85% of a given size as determined by single-pass particle counting results.*3. MATRIKX® CTO® filters are designed to fit most residential, commercial, and industrial system containers.4. This filter must be placed in a suitable container and rinsed at least 5 minutes before use.5. It is recommended to change the filter when the flow decreases or at least once a year.* Nominal Filter Rating: The filter rating indicates the approximate size of particles, the majority of which will not pass through the filter. It is generally interpreted to mean that 85% of particles of size equal to the nominal micron will be retained by the filter. (WQA Glossary of Terms, Third Edition, 3-97).
WARNINGS
MATRIKX® filters should not be autoclaved or steam sterilized. Use the MATRIKX®CTO® activated carbon filter only with microbiologically safe and adequately disinfected water, as it is not designed to kill or remove bacteria and viruses. Actual results obtained will vary depending on various combinations of organic impurities, differences in pH, or other conditions encountered in actual use.
