HFCTO-10-4 Hydroflow Carbon Block Cartridge: Superior Filtration for Cleaner, Safer Water
Designed for effective sediment and contaminant removal, the HFCTO-10-4 Hydroflow 4" x 10" Carbon Block Cartridge offers a trusted solution for water filtration systems. Unlike generic filter cartridges, this carbon block cartridge provides reliable performance in reducing chlorine taste, odors, and fine particles, ensuring your water treatment setup operates efficiently and safely.
Key Benefits
- Enhances water taste and odor by reducing chlorine and organic compounds
- Protects downstream appliances and plumbing from sediment buildup
- Delivers consistent filtration performance for extended system life
- Easy to install and compatible with standard 4" x 10" housings
- Improves overall water clarity for better household or commercial use
- Durable carbon block design withstands typical water pressure variations
How It Works
The HFCTO-10-4 cartridge uses activated carbon pressed into a solid block form to filter water passing through your system. As water flows through the carbon block, contaminants such as chlorine, sediment, and certain organic chemicals are adsorbed onto the carbon surface, effectively removing them from your water supply.
This process not only improves the taste and odor of water but also protects plumbing and appliances by capturing particles that can cause damage or reduce efficiency. Its 4" x 10" size fits most standard housings, making it a straightforward upgrade or replacement in your existing water treatment setup.
What to Expect
Immediately after installation, you’ll notice a reduction in chlorine smell and a cleaner taste in your water. Over the first few days, the cartridge will begin capturing sediments and other impurities, improving water clarity. With proper maintenance, you can expect consistent performance for several months, depending on water quality and usage.
Routine replacement ensures your system remains efficient, preventing buildup and maintaining the protective benefits the carbon block offers. The cartridge’s reliable design means it won’t degrade quickly under normal household or commercial water pressure conditions.
What’s Inside
- Activated Carbon Block – the core filtration medium that adsorbs chlorine, odors, and fine particles
- Polypropylene Core – provides structural integrity and supports uniform water flow through the cartridge
- Durable Outer Shell – protects the carbon block during installation and operation while maintaining water purity
How to Use
- Turn off the water supply to the filter housing before beginning installation.
- Release pressure and remove the existing cartridge from the 4" x 10" housing.
