This unit uses granular activated carbon media to reduce chlorine, chloramines, tastes, odors, and other organic compounds from potable water supplies. With a 1 cubic foot media capacity, a 1-inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection, and a rated service flow of 4 gallons per minute (GPM), it is sized for point-of-entry whole-home installations. Licensed plumbers and water treatment professionals handle installation and commissioning of this type of system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis filter is suited for whole-home or building entry-point installations where municipal or well water contains elevated chlorine levels or objectionable tastes and odors. The automatic backwash control valve cycles the media bed on a timed or metered basis, flushing accumulated contaminants to drain and restoring media performance without manual intervention. This makes it appropriate for occupied residential properties or light commercial settings where consistent, low-maintenance filtration is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic backwash control eliminates need for manual media regeneration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGranular activated carbon media targets chlorine, chloramines, tastes, and odors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 cubic foot media capacity supports whole-home point-of-entry flow rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-inch FPT inlet and outlet connections suit standard residential plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 GPM service flow rate rated for typical single-family residential demand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style point-of-entry carbon backwash filter for residential and light commercial water treatment systems with 1-inch FPT plumbing connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines.
