Watts 7100588 Carbon Block Filter Cartridge 5 Micron 2 Pack

Product Description

The WATTS 7100588 is a 5-inch, 5-micron nominal carbon block filter cartridge sold in a 2-pack. It is constructed from 100 percent coconut shell carbon and is designed to reduce chlorine and other contaminants in potable water systems. Unlike granular activated carbon cartridges, the carbon block design eliminates water channeling and delivers a lower pressure drop across the element. Rated for up to 2,000 gallons of service life at a 1 gallon per minute flow rate, this cartridge suits residential and light commercial water filtration systems. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians are the primary installers.

This cartridge fits slim-line filter housings and is suited for point-of-use and whole-house prefiltration applications where consistent chlorine reduction and sediment control are required. The coconut shell carbon construction provides high adsorption capacity relative to coal-based alternatives, making it a reliable choice for standard drinking water filtration setups. The 2-pack format reduces service intervals between replacement stock.
