MS Extruded activated carbon cartridge filter is shaped by extruding the premium grade activated carbon with food grade additives continuously, no release of carbon fines. The extrusion process allows more carbon, but a lower pressure drop, which enables the filter deliver extended life while removing sediment, chlorine, taste, odor and organic contaminants from water, aqueous solutions or suspensions effectively. The outer polypropylene spun bonded pre-filtration medium and protective polyethylene netting offer a high strength and sediment-holding capacity.
