KX_CTO-10-Matrikx 32-250-10-Matrikx 2¼” X 9¾” (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.

-> 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.
