Carbon cartridge for the MERLIN filter is an original filter cartridge designed for use in the MERLIN system. This carbon block for cold water treatment effectively improves the taste and odor of water, reduces chlorine, and supports the efficient operation of the entire water filtration system. It is a practical consumable component for users of solutions such as a water filter, osmotic filter, and reverse osmosis system.
Original carbon block for the MERLIN system
The cartridge has been designed specifically for the MERLIN system and is a dedicated filtration component for everyday cold water treatment. The use of sintered activated carbon makes it possible to effectively reduce a wide range of contaminants that affect water quality, its odor, and taste properties.
This solution combines chemical and mechanical filtration in a single cartridge. As a result, it supports not only the improvement of the water’s functional parameters, but also increases the comfort of using the entire MERLIN filtration system.
How the sintered carbon block works
The cartridge is made of sintered activated carbon. This type of filtration material stands out for its large specific surface area and high number of active sites, which translates into effective contact between the water and the filter medium and efficient reduction of unwanted substances.
Compared with other carbon cartridges, sintered carbon provides approximately 25% higher service performance. This means more effective cartridge operation in everyday use and better utilization of the material’s adsorption properties.
Filtration scope and removed contaminants
The MERLIN carbon cartridge is responsible for reducing contaminants that most often worsen the quality of utility water. Its action includes both substances that affect taste and odor, as well as selected organic and mechanical contaminants.
Reduction of chemical contaminants
- up to 99% free chlorine,
- chlorinated solvents,
- aromatic hydrocarbons,
- up to 85% chlorinated pesticides,
- polyaromatic compounds,
- phenol,
- benzene,
- organic substances.
The reduction of free chlorine, chlorinated solvents, and aromatic hydrocarbons clearly improves the taste and odor of water, which is of direct importance in everyday use.
Filtration of mechanical contaminants
The cartridge also removes mechanical contaminants down to 3 µm, including:
- rust,
- sand,
- silt,
- suspended solids.
As a result, it helps protect downstream filtration system components and supports maintaining stable filtered water quality.
Key benefits in everyday use
- original filter cartridge designed for the MERLIN system,
- made of sintered activated carbon,
- reduction of up to 99% free chlorine,
- reduction of chlorinated solvents and aromatic hydrocarbons,
- reduction of up to 85% chlorinated pesticides, polyaromatic compounds, phenol, benzene, and organic substances,
- improved water taste and odor,
- filtration of mechanical contaminants down to 3 µm,
- approximately 25% higher service performance compared to other carbon cartridges,
- intended for cold water treatment.
The cartridge is intended exclusively for cold water treatment. To maintain filtration efficiency and proper operation of the MERLIN system, it should be used as intended and replaced as a consumable element depending on the intensity of use and the quality of the feed water.
