Nu-calgon 255424-03 EP-5 Carbon Block Filter Cartridge 5 Micron

Product Description

The Nu-Calgon 255424-03 is an EP-5 Carbon Block Filter Cartridge rated at 5 microns. It is designed for water filtration systems used in residential, food service, commercial, and industrial applications. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and facility maintenance professionals rely on this cartridge to deliver clean, filtered water with low pressure drop and long service life.

The 255424-03 uses a patented manufacturing process that combines the benefits of carbon block filtration with the higher dirt-holding capacity of wound, carbon impregnated paper cartridges. This dual-action design gives the cartridge a nominal 5-micron filtration rating, making it effective at capturing fine sediment and particulates. The high porosity construction helps prevent premature plugging, so the cartridge continues filtering even as it approaches its adsorption limit. This means you get full use of the carbon before the cartridge needs to be replaced.

One of the standout features of the EP Series is the Endurawrap outer wrap. This polyolefin bilaminate pre-filter layer is applied around the outside of the cartridge. It traps sediment before it can reach and plug the carbon block core. By catching larger particles at the outer layer, the Endurawrap significantly extends the useful service life of the cartridge compared to standard carbon block filters without a pre-filter wrap.

The 255424-03 is highly effective at reducing chlorine taste and odor as well as general bad taste and odor from water supplies. These are common complaints in both residential and commercial water systems. By addressing chlorine and other taste and odor compounds, this cartridge helps ensure that water used in food service, ice machines, beverage dispensers, and drinking water systems meets quality standards.

All materials used in the manufacture of this cartridge comply with FDA standards, making it a safe and reliable choice for potable water applications. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of filter housings and systems.

• 5-micron nominal filtration rating removes fine sediment and particulates from water
• Endurawrap polyolefin bilaminate pre-filter extends cartridge life by capturing sediment before it reaches the carbon core
• High porosity carbon block design maintains low pressure drop and maximizes carbon utilization before replacement is needed
