(2) Two Big Blue 20" x 4.5" CTO Carbon Block Filter (1 Micron).

Two 20" x 4.5" Jumbo CTO Activated Carbon Filters (1 micron) for Big Blue Whole House Water Filter System.

Specifications:

• Individually wrapped in film for freshness
• Fits all Big Blue 20" x 4.5" Water Filter Housings
• CTO filter adsorbs chlorine, halide, organic contaminants, odors, and other impurities that contribute to bad taste and odor
• Flow rate: 5 GPM
• Filter life: 10,000 gallons or every 8-12 months
• Dimensions: Length = 20", O.D. = 4.5", I.D. = 1 1/8"

Note: Activated carbon filters are most effective at removing chlorine, sediment, taste, and odor from water. They are not effective at removing minerals, salts, and dissolved inorganic compounds, which are the main sources of TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) readings. That means you will not see a significant drop in TDS readings from any carbon filter. Typical particle sizes that can be removed by carbon filters range from 0.5 to 50 micrometers. The efficiency of a carbon filter is also based on flow rate regulation — when water flows through the filter at a slower rate, the contaminants are exposed to the filter media for a longer amount of time.

Package includes:

• 2 pieces of 1 Micron 20" x 4.5" Activated Carbon Block (CTO) Filter
