FAQ

What does a 10 micron carbon block filter remove?

This 10-micron carbon block (cto) removes chlorine taste & odour, VOCs, and many organic chemicals. Polishing stage — improves taste and reduces chemicals; the tight micron also catches fine sediment.

Will a 20x4.5 cartridge fit my housing?

Yes if your housing is the standard 20x4.5 size (20" Big Blue). Cartridges are universal by size — any 20x4.5 cartridge fits any 20x4.5 housing regardless of brand. Match the length, diameter and micron.

How often should I change it?

Change every 3–6 months. Hard or dirty water shortens that; a pressure drop or returning taste/odour is your cue to swap sooner.

Which micron rating should I choose?

Lower micron = finer filtration but faster clogging. For carbon block, 5 micron balances taste and flow; 0.5 micron for the finest chemical/particle reduction.
