MATRIKX® +CTO/2 filters are the most widely used carbon block devices in the world and provide previously unattainable performance at the lowest price point. +CTO/2 filters simultaneously remove free chlorine and organic chemicals that contribute to taste and odor while providing the particulate filtration and dirt-holding capacity of an efficient 5µm nominal sediment filter. These filters are optimized for applications where they perform the role of both a sediment and activated carbon filter.
The extrusion process allows the production of a carbon block with more carbon, but a lower pressure drop. This enables a +CTO/2 filter to deliver extended life while removing sediment, chlorine, taste, odor and organic contaminants from water, aqueous solutions or suspensions.
