FCCBL-G Aquafilter is a block-type 10-inch filter cartridge made of 100% compressed carbon from coconut shells from the GOLD series. This water filter is designed for treating cold drinking water and general-use water, as well as for effective pre-filtration in installations such as an reverse osmosis system, an osmosis filter, or an advanced water filtration system. The cartridge reduces free chlorine and chlorine derivatives, improves water taste and odor, helps limit limescale deposits, helps remove heavy metals, and provides mechanical filtration down to 5 microns.
Coconut carbon cartridge for effective treatment of cold water
Aquafilter FCCBL-G belongs to the advanced GOLD series of carbon blocks. The filtration core is made entirely of compressed activated carbon from coconut shells, which combines very good adsorption of contaminants with high mechanical filtration efficiency. This solution is intended for users who expect improved water quality both in terms of taste and odor, as well as everyday comfort of use.
The cartridge works well in the filtration of cold drinking water and general-use water. It can operate as a standalone element of a water treatment system or as a pre-stage before the membrane in systems such as reverse osmosis and reverse osmosis filter setups.
GOLD series – advanced carbon block from coconut shells
The GOLD series was developed to increase the effectiveness of water purification. The coconut-shell carbon used meets the stringent standards of the American NSF hygiene foundation, and the cartridge design extends the performance typical of standard carbon cartridges.
In addition to reducing contaminants that affect water taste, odor, and safety, GOLD cartridges support water “softening” by limiting the rate of limescale formation and helping reduce deposits already present. In addition, they help remove heavy metals such as lead, copper, and mercury, as well as strontium and cesium. The GOLD series is also distinguished by a very long service life among carbon cartridges.
Main benefits and scope of action
The FCCBL-G cartridge combines adsorption and mechanical filtration, so it improves water quality on many levels at once. It is a practical choice for home water treatment systems, especially where stable operation, good performance, and a broad range of reduced contaminants matter.
- removal of up to 99% of free chlorine from water and chlorine-derived substances,
- removal of organic contaminants,
- removal of phenol and benzene from water,
- use of coconut-shell carbon,
- removal of heavy metals: Pb, Cu, Hg, Sr, Cs,
- water softening,
- supporting limescale reduction,
- ensuring excellent filtration even with a pressure drop,
- removal of up to 85% of chlorine-derived pesticides,
- removal of mechanical impurities down to 5 microns,
- improving water taste and odor,
- very long carbon cartridge service life.
Applications of the FCCBL-G cartridge
The 10-inch model is designed for use with cold water and can be used in various filtration configurations. It works wherever improved water quality is needed before further treatment or direct use.
- for treating cold drinking water,
- for treating cold general-use water,
- as pre-filtration in reverse osmosis systems,
- as a component of a home water filtration system,
- for improving the taste and odor of water used every day.
The cartridge is intended for filtration of cold water. To maintain high performance and proper system hygiene, it should be used as intended and replaced regularly depending on water quality and intensity of use.
Why is coconut block carbon so effective?
A compressed carbon block made from coconut shells provides a large contact surface with water, which promotes effective adsorption of many unwanted substances. This type of cartridge helps reduce chlorine, compounds responsible for unpleasant taste and odor, selected organic contaminants, and some chemical contaminants. At the same time, it acts as a mechanical filter, retaining solid particles down to 5 microns.
In practice, this means better water quality at the inlet to subsequent filtration stages. This is especially important where a reverse osmosis filter or another system requiring effective protection of downstream components is in operation.
