Our certified carbon blocks are made from roasted coconut shells (not coal). This filter is rated at 3,000 gallons. Removes chlorine and organic matter (VOC’s). A 5 micron filter is the minimum protection required by your membrane.  Carbon protects the membrane from oxidation and premature failure (holes in membrane) caused by chlorine breakthrough.  

If you have Chloramines in your water, this is the filter that we replace with our catalytic carbon cartridge per the WQA recommendation for point of use applications.

5 micron filter

"I have been purchasing RO systems from AWI for many years I go nowhere else for supplies. I did switch the 5 micron for the Catalytic Chromite filter but added a space for the 5 micron just because I wanted it. All in all they are the best. If there was 6 stars, they would get that"
