KX Pb-1 20" Big Blue Carbon Block

MATRIKX® + Pb1 is a powerful, multifunctional filter cartridge for residential and commercial water treatment systems. Heavy Metals Reduction MATRIKX® + Pb1 extruded activated carbon filters reduce soluble lead using an ion-exchange filter medium with high specificity for soluble lead. Particulate filtration is used to intercept insoluble lead-containing particles. Chemical Adsorption MATRIKX® + Pb1 filters offer high levels of chemical reduction in potable drinking water, including chlorine taste and odor. Particulate, Cyst and Turbidity Reduction MATRIKX® + Pb1 filters meet NSF/ANSI Standard 53, Turbidity and Cyst Reduction, including Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Entamoeba and Toxoplasma. Graded-density filtration combined with high dirt capacity extruded activated carbon provide several times greater life than molded filters.

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 and lead-adsorption capacities 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 when tested in accordance with NSF/ANSI Standard 42 protocol. 3. Nominal particulate rating (0.5 ìm) is for >85% of a given size as determined from single-pass particle counting results.*

4. Absolute particulate rating (1 ìm) 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).
