Carbon Block Water Filters

The carbon block filter uses adsorptive retention along with pore size to remove contaminants from your water source.  Adsorptive Retention is when the particle stays in the filter media due to interactions between the particle and the surface of the medium. Surface and Depth Filtration relate to the particle size and pore size of the filter media. A surface filter is seen as a screen that is covered with particles too large to pass through. Particles form a filter cake on the surface and the retention will be absolute since no particles may pass, known as sieving. Depth Filtration allows particles to penetrate the filter matrix and get captured throughout the depth of the medium.

Model CTD-CB - Recommended by Dr. Andrew Weil! in his book Eight Weeks to Optimum Health.   Designed for municipal water that contains a high level of chlorine and VOCs (volatile organic chemicals).  This dual housing counter filter features our KDF/GAC cartridge PLUS a high performance 0.5 micron extruded carbon block cartridge in the second housing. This is a high grade coconut shell carbon block filter offering high chlorine removal capabilities (20,000 gallons), high chemical and VOC reduction (1,200 gallons).  Alone reduces chloramines taste and odor, Giardia, Toxoplasma, Cryptosporidium, sediment and fine silt (replace yearly).  It's protected against bacteria by the KDF/GAC cartridge, though it isn't a problem because the dense extruded carbon block also inhibits bacteria.  A diverter valve replaces the aerator on your faucet. In the regular position, water is sent through the aerator. For filtered water, turn on the cold water and rotate the plastic diverter valve knob (now a new more durable, long lasting, valve) - water is sent through the filter and out its own spout; a long reach spout allowing for placement flexibility on your countertop.  Metal components are NSF approved lead-free chromed brass.  Can be converted for under-counter use with our Faucet Kit ($59.95).  Includes diverter adapters, housing wrench, and chlorine test strips to verify when it's time to replace cartridge. 12" high, 5" deep, 11" wide. 3 year prorated warranty on KDF/GAC cartridge, 5 year on housings. Suggested Retail - $230, Sale Price - $149.95 plus free shipping (continental US only). ORDER NOW! VIEW CART/CHECKOUT.  Click for Installation Instructions.
