CFS Carbon Pleated Water Filters for NCP-10 C1 W5CIP AP117, 2 Pack

• ABOUT PRODUCT: It is a package of 2 Carbon-Impregnated water filter cartridges that are compatible with NCP-10 Water Filter Cartridges. It has a larger surface area and has a longer filter life. This water filter cartridge removes more pollutants by providing "depth" filtering.
• BUILT FOR ANY WATER - Carbon-impregnated polyester pleats reduce chlorine, bad tastes and odors while the pleated surface traps sediment - and unlike cellulose duals, the synthetic media handles well and untreated water without breaking down. Direct replacement for NCP-10 cartridges (code 155403-43 class); same standard size as C1 and W5CIP duals - this is the non-cellulose version of the class. Rinse the pleats between changes to extend life. Replace about every 6 months, sooner with heavy use.
• EFFICIENCY: Our water filter cartridge eliminates pollutants and impurities from water. At the same time, it effectively preserves many vital minerals. For optimal performance, water filter cartridges should be replaced every 3 to 6 months based on your water quality.
• FEATURES: Our water filter cartridge particularly offers a larger surface area and a longer life. This cartridge eliminates chlorine, bad taste, and odor, and is available in a variety of sizes. This replacement cartridge will provide you with high filtering performance at a lower cost.
• BETTER-TASTING WATER FROM EVERY SOURCE - Whether your home runs on municipal tap water or a private well, the carbon reduces chlorine, bad tastes and odors while trapping fine sediment - cleaner-tasting drinking and cooking water from the same line you already use. For certified reduction of lead or other specific contaminants, look for cartridges tested to NSF/ANSI 53 for those claims - this cartridge's job is taste, odor and sediment, and it does it well.

Two carbon-impregnated pleated water filter cartridges, 9.75 by 2.5 in, the standard slim size for 10 in housings and a direct replacement for NCP-10. This style does two jobs at once, which is the reason to choose it over a solid carbon block. The media is pleated, so it carries far more surface area than a smooth cartridge of the same length and holds sediment across a wide face rather than blinding one spot - flow stays up as it loads. And the pleats carry carbon, so it reduces chlorine along with the taste and smell that come with it. A solid carbon block filters finer, but it chokes faster on water carrying visible dirt; this cartridge trades some fineness for the ability to keep working on a dirtier supply. The pleats are washable. Rinse them clean and refit between changes, which a spun or block cartridge cannot do. Rinsing does not restore the carbon - that exhausts on its own schedule regardless - but it keeps pressure up and stretches the interval on heavy sediment. Most households replace about every six months, so two cartridges covers roughly a year of scheduled service. Fits NCP-10, C1, W5CIP, D-15 and AP117 positions, and 10 by 2.5 in housings generally. These are the slim size and do not fit the wide 4.5 in big blue housings - measure the old cartridge if you are unsure. CFS is an independent brand; this is a compatible replacement, not an original manufacturer part, and manufacturer names and part numbers are used for reference only.
