The CTO (Chlorine, Taste, and Odor) Block Carbon Cartridge<\/b> is designed for deep chemical purification. Unlike granular carbon filters, the compressed block design prevents “channeling”\u2014ensuring that every drop of water makes maximum contact with the carbon surface for thorough cleaning.<\/p>\n Superior Chlorine Removal:<\/b> Specifically optimized to neutralize chlorine and chloramines, which are common in municipal water supplies and can damage RO membranes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Enhanced Taste & Clarity:<\/b> Adsorbs volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, herbicides, and industrial solvents, resulting in crystal-clear water with a fresh, natural taste.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Dual-Action Filtration:<\/b> While primarily a chemical filter, the dense block structure also provides efficient sediment filtration, trapping fine particles like sand, rust, and silt down to its micron rating.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n No Carbon Fines:<\/b> The solid bonded structure eliminates the release of “carbon black” or fines into your water, which can sometimes occur with loose granular filters.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n High Adsorptive Capacity:<\/b> Featuring a massive internal surface area, one pound of compressed carbon can have the equivalent surface area of over 100 acres, allowing it to hold vast amounts of contaminants.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Reverse Osmosis (RO) Stage 2 or 3:<\/b> Protects the sensitive RO membrane from chlorine damage.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Under-Sink & Countertop Filters:<\/b> Provides high-quality drinking and cooking water.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Aquarium & Fish Tanks:<\/b> Safely removes chemicals that are harmful to sensitive aquatic life.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Upgrade your water quality with the 10 inc Block Carbon filter cartridge<\/b>. Engineered from high-density compressed activated carbon, this cartridge is the industry standard for removing chlorine, organic chemicals, and unpleasant odors. It fits all standard 10-inch housings and is an essential stage for Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems and under-sink filters in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n Function:<\/b> Effectively removes up to 99% of free chlorine and organic contaminants.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Micron Rating:<\/b> 5 to 10 micron nominal filtration for sediment and chemical adsorption.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Universal Fit:<\/b> Standard 10″ x 2.5″ dimensions compatible with most domestic filter brands.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Material:<\/b> Made from food-grade, high-adsorptive activated carbon (often coconut shell).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8844,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[33,24],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-8842","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-water-filter-cartridges","product_cat-water-filters","desktop-align-center","tablet-align-center","mobile-align-center","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prudenceeng.lk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/8842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prudenceeng.lk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prudenceeng.lk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prudenceeng.lk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8842"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prudenceeng.lk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8844"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prudenceeng.lk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prudenceeng.lk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=8842"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prudenceeng.lk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=8842"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prudenceeng.lk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=8842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Key Features & Benefits:<\/b><\/h3>\n
