The 20-Inch CTO (Chlorine, Taste, and Odor) Block Carbon Cartridge<\/b> is designed for deep purification of high-volume water supplies. Unlike standard granular carbon (GAC) filters, the compressed block design prevents “channeling”\u2014forcing water through a uniform carbon matrix to ensure every drop is thoroughly cleaned.<\/p>\n Superior Chlorine Removal:<\/b> Specifically optimized to neutralize chlorine and chloramines, which are common in municipal water and can damage sensitive RO membranes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Improved Taste & Clarity:<\/b> Adsorbs VOCs, herbicides, insecticides, and industrial solvents, delivering crystal-clear water with a fresh, natural taste for drinking and cooking.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Protects Skin & Hair:<\/b> By removing harsh chemicals, this whole-house filter helps maintain your skin\u2019s natural oils, preventing the dryness and irritation often caused by bathing in chlorinated water.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Dual-Action Filtration:<\/b> While primarily a chemical filter, its dense structure acts as a physical barrier, trapping fine particles like sand, rust, and silt to its micron level.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Extends Appliance Life:<\/b> Removing abrasive sediment and corrosive chemicals prevents premature wear and tear on washing machines, water heaters, and plumbing fixtures.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Whole-House Filtration:<\/b> Installed at the main entry point to provide chemical-free water to every faucet in a villa or apartment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Industrial RO Pre-Treatment:<\/b> Acts as a critical stage for protecting membranes in 250 LPH, 500 LPH, and larger Reverse Osmosis plants.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Commercial Establishments:<\/b> Ideal for restaurants, cafes, and food processing units to ensure consistent water quality and beverage flavor.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Ensure the highest quality of water for your entire home or business with the 20-Inch Activated Block Carbon Filter Cartridge<\/b>. Engineered from high-density compressed activated carbon, this cartridge is the professional standard for removing chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and unpleasant tastes or odors. It is a universal fit for all standard 20-inch housings, making it an essential component for high-capacity water purification systems in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n Function:<\/b> Effectively removes up to 99% of chlorine, pesticides, and organic contaminants.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Filter Life:<\/b> High-capacity performance lasting up to 80,000 gallons<\/b> or 1 year.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Micron Rating:<\/b> High-precision 5 to 10 micron<\/b> filtration for chemical adsorption and sediment removal.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Universal Fit:<\/b> Standard 20″ length available in Slim (2.5″)<\/b> or Jumbo (4.5″)<\/b> diameters.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9075,"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":{"0":"post-9060","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-water-filter-cartridges","7":"product_cat-water-filters","8":"desktop-align-center","9":"tablet-align-center","10":"mobile-align-center","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"taxable","15":"shipping-taxable","16":"purchasable","17":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prudenceeng.lk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/9060","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=9060"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prudenceeng.lk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prudenceeng.lk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prudenceeng.lk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=9060"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prudenceeng.lk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=9060"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prudenceeng.lk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=9060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Key Features & Benefits:<\/b><\/h3>\n
