KX Matrikx Pb1 10" Std Carbon Filter with Lead Removal

KX Industries MATRIKX Pb1 Lead, Cyst, Chlorine Taste & Odor Reduction Filter

Lead Reduction, Cyst Reduction and Turbidity Reduction based on NSF/ANSI Standard 53 (based on manufacturer's internal testing).

KX 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.Manufactured with KX's proprietary extrusion process, MATRIKX Pb1 filters offer high levels of chemical reduction in potable drinking water, including chlorine taste and odor.

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.

Adavantages of Carbon Block vs. GAC Carbon

MATRIKX+ 5 filters consist of activated carbon particles fused into a uniform block with enhanced adsorptive capacity and efficiency. MATRIKX and flow in a radial (outside-to-inside) direction, providing increased dirt-holding capacity and low pressure drop.Unlike granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, MATRIKX + 5 cartridges will not channel or bypass due to the extreme uniformity of their extruded activated carbon core. Service life of the MATRIKX + 5 filter is greatly extended by a prefiltration medium.
