CBC Series Carbon-Briquette Cartridges

CBC Series cartridges are highly effective at reducing unwanted tastes and odors, including chlorine taste & odor, from potable drinking water. The unique structure of the carbon block enables it to reduce Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba, and Toxoplasma cysts and fine sediment particles down to 0.5 microns.

CBC Series cartridges are manufactured using a patented process and made entirely from FDA-compliant materials. They are an ideal choice for a wide range residential, food service, commercial and industrial applications. They also make excellent polishing filters or pre-filters in applications requiring fine filtration and high capacity.
