How It Works

The MATRIKX® CTO Filter Cartridge utilizes a high-grade carbon block to adsorb chlorine, taste, and odor compounds from your water supply. As water flows through the dense carbon media, harmful chemicals and impurities are trapped, preventing them from reaching your tap. This filtration process not only enhances water flavor but also safeguards your plumbing and appliances by reducing sediment and other common contaminants.

Designed to fit standard 4.5" x 10" filter housings, this cartridge integrates seamlessly into your existing water treatment system, providing an efficient and effective barrier against unwanted materials.

What to Expect

Immediately after installation, you’ll notice a marked improvement in water taste and clarity. The reduction of chlorine and other odors becomes apparent within the first few uses. Over the first few weeks, the cartridge continues to work efficiently, maintaining consistent filtration without significant drops in water pressure.

With proper maintenance, this filter cartridge offers reliable performance for several months, depending on water quality and usage. Routine replacement ensures your system remains protected and your water stays clean and fresh.
