Premium Aries KDF-55 Carbon Filter Cartridge for Enhanced Water Purity and System Protection

Designed to tackle common water treatment challenges, the AF-10-2010 Aries KDF-55/Carbon Cartridge offers a reliable and efficient filtration solution. This advanced 2.5" x 10" filter cartridge combines KDF-55 media with activated carbon to reduce contaminants and extend the life of your water system. If you’re seeking a durable filter cartridge that enhances water quality and protects your equipment from scale and chlorine damage, this product stands out in the filter cartridges category.

Key Benefits

  • Effectively reduces chlorine and heavy metals for cleaner, better-tasting water
  • Protects your water system from scale buildup and corrosion, extending equipment lifespan
  • Improves overall water clarity by filtering out sediment and organic contaminants
  • Compatible with a wide range of water softener and filtration systems for versatile use
  • Durable cartridge design ensures consistent performance over extended periods
  • Easy to install and replace, minimizing downtime and maintenance effort

How It Works

The AF-10-2010 Aries cartridge integrates KDF-55 media with activated carbon to offer dual-action filtration. KDF-55 uses a redox reaction to remove chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, and heavy metals like lead and mercury. Meanwhile, the carbon media adsorbs organic compounds and improves taste and odor. Together, these media work synergistically inside your water treatment system to reduce contaminants and protect plumbing components from corrosion and scaling.

Installed within a standard 2.5" x 10" housing, the cartridge allows water to flow through its layers, capturing impurities and providing cleaner water output suitable for both residential and commercial applications.

What to Expect

Once installed, you’ll notice an immediate improvement in water taste and clarity due to the reduction of chlorine and sediment. Within the first few days, unpleasant odors and metallic tastes should significantly diminish. Over the following weeks, the cartridge will continue to protect your system by preventing scale buildup and reducing harmful contaminants.

With proper maintenance and timely replacement, the AF-10-2010 Aries cartridge delivers reliable, consistent filtration performance, helping to maintain your water system’s efficiency and longevity.

What’s Inside

  • KDF-55 Media – Crucial for reducing chlorine, heavy metals, and controlling scale formation
  • Activated Carbon – Adsorbs organic chemicals, improving taste and eliminating odors
  • Polypropylene Filter Matrix – Supports media integrity while filtering out sediment and particulates
  • Durable Plastic Housing (2.5" x 10") – Ensures secure fit and protection within standard filtration systems

How to Use

  1. Turn off the water supply to your filtration system before beginning installation.
  2. Release pressure by opening a faucet downstream of the filter.
  3. Remove the old filter cartridge by twisting or pulling it out of its housing, depending on your system design.
  4. Insert the AF-10-2010 Aries KDF-55/Carbon Cartridge firmly into the housing, ensuring a proper seal.
  5. Close the housing securely and turn the water supply back on.
  6. Flush the system by running water through the new cartridge for 5–10 minutes before regular use.
  7. Monitor water quality and replace the cartridge as recommended by your system’s guidelines or when performance declines.
