Product Name:
Activated carbon block BB "20" 5 MIC
General Description
The Gross 20 carbon filter 5mic cartridge is a highly effective second stage of water purification, designed for installation in Big Blue 20 type main-line filters. It is used after the mechanical cartridge and is intended for the deep purification of water from chemical and organic contaminants.
How It Works
Cartridge block with activated carbon. The carbon has a massive surface area and a high adsorption capacity, allowing it to absorb and trap:
- chlorine and its compounds (chloramines, chloroform);
- pesticides and herbicides;
- petroleum products and phenols;
- unpleasant odors and tastes;
- heavy metals
As water flows through the carbon layer, these substances are removed, resulting in cleaner, clearer, and better-tasting water.
Key Features
- Size: Gross 20 (or Big Blue 20).
- Material: Carbon block (compressed carbon).
- Filtration Rating: 5 μm (micrometers), which allows it to trap even the finest particles.
- Lifespan: Depends on the volume of purified water and the level of contamination, averaging 6 to 12 months.
- Purpose: Cold water.
- Compatibility: Fits most standard Big Blue 20 filter housings.
Advantages
- Improves the organoleptic properties of water: eliminates unpleasant odors and tastes.
- Removes harmful chemical compounds, including chlorine
- Provides protection against bacteria
- Compatible with most pre-filtration systems.
- Easy to install and replace.
