Product description
Carbon block filter cartridge specifically designed for effective chloramine reduction
The carbon block filter cartridge for chloramine reduction is specifically formulated to remove chloramine from treated water supplies. Based on advanced catalytic activated carbon technology, this cartridge is the only solution within the range designed to target chloramine effectively.
Manufactured using a controlled five-stage production process, the cartridge delivers exceptional adsorption performance and offers up to ten times the chloramine capacity of standard carbon block cartridges. This makes it essential for applications where chloramine is used as the primary disinfectant.
Filtration principle
The cartridge utilises catalytic activated carbon media engineered to promote the chemical reduction of chloramine. Water flows through the sintered carbon block structure, where chloramine is converted and removed through catalytic reaction rather than standard adsorption alone.
This filtration principle provides:
-
highly effective chloramine reduction
-
significantly extended chloramine capacity
-
stable performance at low and moderate flow rates
-
consistent effluent water quality
-
long service life in demanding applications
Media technology and uniqueness
The PCB cartridge is manufactured using ultra-porous, modified powdered catalytic activated carbon. This media is optimised for chloramine removal and embedded within a rigid sintered structure to ensure controlled flow and extended contact time.
Key media characteristics include:
-
catalytic activated coconut carbon
-
five-stage manufacturing process
-
up to ten times higher chloramine capacity than standard carbon blocks
-
one micron nominal filtration rating
-
long service life for chloramine control
This makes the cartridge uniquely suited for applications where chloramine removal is critical.
Design and construction
The cartridge is constructed in a robust carbon block format with integrated support and protective netting. The design ensures mechanical strength, consistent flow distribution and reliable long-term performance.
Typical design features include:
-
sintered catalytic carbon block structure
-
polypropylene end caps and wrap
-
polyethylene outer netting
-
standard cartridge geometry for easy installation
Materials of construction
Standard construction materials include:
-
Filter media: Catalytic activated coconut carbon (sintered)
-
End caps: Polypropylene
-
Gasket material: Buna-N
-
Wrap: Polypropylene
-
Netting material: Polyethylene
Materials are selected for durability, compatibility and stable operation in potable water systems.
Operating conditions
Typical operating conditions include:
-
Maximum operating temperature: 38 °C
-
Maximum differential pressure: 2.5 bar
-
Suitable for continuous liquid filtration
Exact operating limits depend on cartridge configuration and system conditions.
Performance focus
Performance characteristics include:
-
targeted chloramine reduction
-
significantly higher chloramine capacity compared to standard carbon blocks
-
effective chlorine reduction as a secondary benefit
-
stable pressure drop across service life
To maximise cartridge life and prevent premature blocking, 5 micron pre-filtration using a depth filter such as the SPECTRUM PSP is recommended.
