Chlorine Taste & Odor Reduction FilterFeatures & Benefits:• 5 μm Nominal Filtration*• High Adsorptive Capacity and Efficiency*• Efficient Sediment Filter*• Competitively Priced vs. GAC filtersTypical Usage:MATRIKX + CTOﾮ/2 filters are the most widely used carbon block devices in the world and provide previously unattainable performance at the lowest price point. MATRIKX + CTOﾮ/2 filters simultaneously remove chlorine taste and odor and organic chemicals that contribute to taste and odor while providing the particulate filtration and dirt-holding capacity of an efficient 5 μm nominal sediment filter. These filters are optimized for applications where they perform the role of both a sediment and activated carbon filter. KXﾮ’s proprietary extrusion process allows the production of a carbon block with more carbon, but a lower pressure drop. This enables a MATRIKX + CTOﾮ/2 filter to deliver extended life while removing sediment, chlorine taste and odor and organic contaminants from water, aqueous solutions or suspensions. The MATRIKX + CTOﾮ/2 is also widely used in filtering organic solvents. The MATRIKX + CTOﾮ/2 is ideal for use in residential and commercial water purification systems, food service, pre- and post-RO systems. The MATRIKX + CTOﾮ/2 is manufactured from high purity acid-washed activated carbon. Its dirt-holding capacity and the absence of carbon fines makes the MATRIKX + CTOﾮ/2 the filter of choice. A superior carbon block, MATRIKX + CTOﾮ/2 combines both high performance and integrity with an exceptional cost-to-performance value. As a result,MATRIKX + CTOﾮ/2 virtually renders GAC filters obsolete by comparison.Extruded carbon = Exceptional valueMATRIKX + CTOﾮ/2 filters consist of activated carbon particles fused into a uniform block with enhanced adsorptive capacity and efficiency. MATRIKX + CTOﾮ/2 filters flow in a radial (outside-to-inside) direction, providing increased dirt-holding capacity and low pressure drop. Unlike granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, MATRIKX + CTOﾮ/2 cartridges will not channel or bypass due to the extreme uniformity of their extruded activated carbon core. Service life of the MATRIKX + CTOﾮ/2 filter is greatly extended by a prefiltration medium.• No channeling• No fluidizing• No bypassing• Lowest extractables, pure materials of construction• Maximum service life and resistance to fouling• Manufactured using FDA-compliant materials
