KX +5 20" Slimline Carbon Block

The MATRIKX ® + 5 filter is made from coconut shell carbon, which creates what many believe to be a sweeter tasting water. Because of the unique pore structure of this carbon, it is well-suited for chemical adsorption, including VOCs, and chlorine taste and odor. MATRIKX ® + 5 filters provide 2 µm nominal particulate filtration and extended life as a fine sediment filter. The service life of a MATRIKX ® + 5 filter is greatly extended by an outer layer of prefiltration medium and will operate effectively in most installations without prefiltration. The MATRIKX ® + 5 is ideal for residential and food service applications where improving the taste of the water is the primary objective.

ORDER INFORMATION

Special order filters are available in varying sizes with lengths from 1” to 60”. Standard filters are finished with a prefiltration medium. A protective polypropylene netting is applied to the exterior of the cartridge. Polypropylene end caps with compression gaskets fit most standard housings. Inquire concerning alternative filter finishing options, including alternative end cap and housing interface styles, a wide range of non-standard extruded filter sizes, and non-standard prefiltration systems. EXTRUDED CARBON = EXCEPTIONAL VALUE MATRIKX® + 1 filters consist of activated carbon particles fused into a uniform block with enhanced adsorptive capacity and efficiency. MATRIKX® + 1 filters flow in a radial (outside-to-inside) direction, providing increased dirt-holding capacity and low pressure drop. Unlike granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, MATRIKX® + 1 cartridges will not channel or bypass due to the extreme uniformity of their extruded activated carbon core. Service life of the MATRIKX® + 1 filter is greatly extended by a prefiltration medium.

• No channeling

• No fluidizing

• No bypassing

• Eliminates release of carbon fines

• Lowest extractables, pure materials of construction

• Maximum service life and resistance to fouling

• Graded density prefiltration design

• Manufactured using FDA-compliant materials

NOTES

1. Performance of a given MATRIKX® extruded carbon filter varies in direct proportion to the total weight of carbon in each filter. For example, a 4.25” O.D. x 20” L MATRIKX® filter contains approximately seven times as much activated carbon as a 2.50” O.D. x 9.75” L MATRIKX® filter, and will therefore have seven times the rated chlorine taste and odor capacity when operated at seven times the rated flow of the smaller cartridge. Hence, rated flow is based on maintaining identical contact/residence times for all filters.

2. Projected chlorine taste and odor reduction capacity when tested in accordance with NSF/ANSI Standard 42 protocol.

3. Nominal particulate rating (0.6 µm) is for >85% of a given size as determined from single-pass particle counting results.*

4. Absolute particulate rating (2 µm) is for >99.9% of particles of a given size as determined from single-pass particle counting results.** *Nominal Filter Rating: Filter rating indicating the approximate size particle, the majority of which will not pass through the filter. It is generally interpreted as meaning that 85% of the particles of the size equal to the nominal micron rating will be retained by the filter. (WQA Glossary of Terms, Third Edition, 3-97). ** Absolute Filter Rating: Filter rating meaning that 99.9% (or essentially all) of the particles larger than a specific micron rating will be trapped on or within the filter. (WQA Glossary of Terms, Third Edition, 3-97).

MATRIKX® + 1 filters are not to be autoclaved or steam-sterilized.

Use MATRIKX® + 1 carbon filters only with microbiologically safe and adequately disinfected water. Activated carbon filters are not designed to kill or remove bacteria or viruses.

Actual results obtained will vary with various combinations of organic contaminants, changes in pH or other conditions encountered in actual use. All information presented here is based on data believed to be reliable. It is offered for evaluation and verification.
