CTO Compressed Activated Carbon Filter - Water Filtration Element - 10 Inch

The 10-inch CTO Compressed Activated Carbon Filter delivers professional-grade water purification in a compact, efficient design perfect for home and office installations. Engineered with compressed carbon block technology, this filter provides superior contaminant removal compared to traditional granular filters, making it an essential component in any water treatment system.

The dense compressed structure is manufactured from fine activated carbon powder bonded with food-grade materials, creating a solid block that maximizes water-carbon contact time. This extended interaction enables the filter to effectively capture and remove a wide spectrum of impurities, including chlorine, volatile organic compounds, heavy metals, and microscopic particles down to 5 microns. The result is noticeably cleaner, better-tasting water free from unpleasant odors and chemical aftertaste.

This filter excels at chlorine reduction, a critical function that protects sensitive reverse osmosis membranes from oxidative damage while simultaneously improving water taste and smell. The compressed block construction ensures water follows a tortuous pathway through countless tiny pores, dramatically increasing filtration efficiency and extending the filter's operational lifespan. Unlike loose granular alternatives, the solid block design prevents channeling, ensuring every drop of water receives thorough treatment.

The 10-inch size fits standard filter housings commonly found in under-sink purification systems, countertop units, and pre-filtration stages of reverse osmosis setups. Its versatile compatibility makes replacement straightforward, requiring no special tools or technical expertise. The filter's robust construction maintains consistent flow rates while delivering reliable performance throughout its service life.

Ideal for residential kitchens, small offices, hotels, and hospitality settings, this CTO filter transforms ordinary tap water into clean, safe drinking water suitable for consumption, cooking, and beverage preparation. The activated carbon's natural adsorption properties work continuously to capture dissolved chemicals, organic compounds, and sediment particles that affect water quality. Regular replacement according to usage patterns ensures optimal filtration performance and maintains the highest standards of water purity for your household or business needs.
