Full Spectrum Series Ceramic Drinking Water Filter cartridge for Chlorine and chemicals

CL17 Series Ceramic Drinking Water Filter for Chlorine  

(Candle Style)

Most water utilities use Chlorine as a primary disinfectant because of its effectiveness in killing potentially harmful organisms. Increasingly, in recent years, Chloramine has been introduced as a secondary disinfectant to protect the water as it travels from the treatment plant to the point of use.

More than one in five North Americans now uses drinking water treated with Chloramine

End-users are demanding a filtration process that will reduce this

 

The CL17 Series Ceramic drinking water filter cartridges / candles are a continuation of the four stage ceramic cleanable filtration cartridges, designed to remove suspended solids, pathogenic bacteria, chlorine, organic chemicals and hydrogen sulphide in drinking water. In addition, they will dramatically improve taste, colour and reduce odours.  This style of ceramic drinking water cartridge is available to fit the Slimline and BKI2000 filter housings.

Contaminants Removal General Description -Rated life 2400 litres

Bacteria – P        Application: This drinking water filter cartridge is designed for use with Chlorinated / Chloramine treated municipal water and distribution systems constructed with soldered copper plumbing, galvanized, PVC, or black iron plumbing. This cartridge is also effective for homes which are fed by lead lined or asbestos concrete reinforced water supply mains in their city.

This ceramic drinking water filter cartridge provides: 99.99% rejection of Bacteria, Cysts, absolute depth filtration >.9 micron and effective depth filtration of particulate >.2 micron (dirt, asbestos, iron etc), and excellent improvement in Taste, Colour and Odour.

Though not reaching purification standards by itself, this cartridge produces outstanding rejection of Chlorine (>97%) and Chloramine (>95%) at its rated life of 2400 liters. Both of these statistics exceed the NSF certification requirements under NSF International Standard 53. The 2400 litre rating is to ensure that the internal extruded carbon core matrix remains effective under the worst possible contaminant conditions.

 

This ceramic drinking water filter cartridge is easily cleaned and requires no tools to service.
