10 inch CTO Sediment Cartridge

Chlorine Removal: CTO filter cartridges are primarily used to remove chlorine from water. Chlorine is commonly added to municipal water supplies as a disinfectant. While it serves a critical role in ensuring water safety, it can impart a distinct taste and odor to the water.

Taste and Odor Improvement: The removal of chlorine from water can significantly enhance the taste and odor of the water. This is particularly important for drinking water and cooking, as chlorine can give water an undesirable or "pool-like" taste and smell.

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC): CTO filter cartridges typically utilize granular activated carbon (GAC) as the filtration medium. GAC is highly effective at adsorbing (attracting and holding) chlorine and various organic compounds responsible for taste and odor issues.

Multi-Stage Filtration: CTO filters are often used as a stage in multi-stage water treatment systems. They can serve as a pre-filtration step, removing larger particles and impurities before water enters more specialized filters, such as RO (reverse osmosis) filters.

Compatible with Various Systems: CTO filter cartridges are designed to be compatible with a wide range of filter housings and water purification systems. This versatility makes them easily replaceable and adaptable to different filtration setups.
