Midea EV9612-22 Activated Carbon Cartridge Filter 0.5 Micron

Product Description

The MIDEA EV9612-22 is an activated carbon cartridge filter designed for residential and light commercial plumbing filtration systems. It measures 3.5 inches in outside diameter and 20.75 inches in length, fitting standard sump-style filter housings that accept this form factor. With a 0.5 micron rating, it provides fine particulate reduction alongside its carbon-based adsorption capabilities. The filter targets cysts, chlorine, odor, and off-taste compounds while also incorporating a scale inhibitor function. It is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified water treatment technicians during routine filter maintenance or system upgrades where improved water quality is required.

This filter is suited for point-of-use or point-of-entry plumbing filtration applications in residential kitchens, under-sink systems, or whole-house housings that accept a 3.5 inch OD, 20.75 inch cartridge. It is appropriate for systems where cyst reduction and chlorine taste-and-odor removal are priorities. The scale inhibitor media adds protection for downstream fixtures and appliances by reducing scale buildup in supply lines. No specific OEM system compatibility was provided in the product data; verify housing dimensions before ordering.
