A 10” CTO Carbon Block Water Filter Cartridge is a type of water filter cartridge made from compressed activated carbon. “CTO” stands for Chlorine, Taste, and Odor, indicating its primary function of removing chlorine and improving the taste and odor of water. The carbon is tightly packed into a block, which increases its surface area for more effective filtration compared to granular activated carbon (GAC).
Use Cases:
- Chlorine Removal: It efficiently removes chlorine from water, improving the taste and smell, making it ideal for drinking water.
- Reduction of VOCs and Chemicals: It can filter out volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals, ensuring safer water.
- Use in Household Filtration Systems: Commonly used in household filtration systems, reverse osmosis systems, and whole-house water filters to provide clean, great-tasting water for drinking, cooking, and other uses.
Its compact design and efficiency in removing both chemical and physical contaminants make it a popular choice for water purification.
