Pentek CBR2-10R Carbon Filter Cartridge, 9-3/4" x 2-7/8", 0.5 Micron

The company, founded in 1966 and headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards 9001 and 1400SKU:ADIB003VT9CCE. Pentair manufactures industrial, commercial, and residential aqua filtration components and systems. liquid filters are used in a wide range of applications, including drinking moisture purification, swimming pools, industrial processes, and irrigation, among others. The performance of filters is measured by the minimum particle size that is blocked, the percentage of particles or microorganisms that are removed, the downstream concentration of unwanted chemicals, the maximum flow rate, and the amount of aqua that can be filtered before the filter must be replaced. Filtration systems typically consist of a series of two or more types of filters, each designed to remove different contaminants. For most residential, commercial, and industrial applications, liquid filters are manufactured in the form of replaceable cartridges that fit inside permanent housings. They are made of densely packed synthetic or natural fibers that trap suspended particles, materials that block microbes or adsorb unwanted chemicals, or substances that cause a chemical change, such as acid neutralization. liquid filters remove undesirable particles, chemicals, and microorganisms from aqua by means of a semipermeable barrier, adsorption, or biological processes. H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back. Chlorine reduction capacity is the minimum total amount of liquid for which the free available chlorine (FAC) at a concentration of 2 ppm is reduced by at least 75%. Protozoan cysts include Giardia, Entamoeba, Cryptosporidium, and Toxoplasma. Specifications Nominal filtration rating 0.5 micron Removal of protozoan cysts 99.95% Chlorine reduction* 20,000 gallons at 0.6 gpm Lead and mercury reduction 2,000 gallons at 0.6 gpm VOC reduction 600 gallons at 0.6 gpm MTBE reduction 500 gallons at 0.6 gpm Operating temperature range 40 to 165 degrees F (4.4 to 74 degrees C) Maximum dimensions (H x W) 9-3/4 x 2-7/8 inches (248 x 73 mm) Materials certification NSF/ANSI standard 42 The nominal filtration rating is for a particle removal efficiency of 85%. This filter cartridge meets National Sanitation Foundation/American National Standards Institute (NSF/ANSI) standard 42 for premium assurance, and is for purification of residential drinking liquid in under-sink installations. The cartridge has a flow restrictor to limit the flow rate to 0.6 gpm for sufficient contact time with the filter media, and it operates over a temperature range of 40 to 165 degrees F (4.4 to 74 degrees C). The nitrile butadiene rubber (Buna-N) gaskets seal the cartridge against the housing (sold separately). This cartridge is made of bonded powdered activated carbon (PAC) filter media wrapped in a polyolefin pre-filter. It will reduce free available chlorine (FAC) at 2 parts per million (ppm) by at least 75% in up to 20,000 gallons at a flow rate of 0.6 gallon per minute (gpm). It has a nominal (85%) filtration rating of 0.5 micron, and 99.95% efficiency for the reduction of protozoan cysts. This Pentek CBR2-10R carbon filter cartridge reduces protozoan cysts, chlorine taste and odor, lead, mercury, methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and fine sediment in residential drinking aqua
