Description
Enhance Your Residential RO System with the S7028 Microline Sediment & Carbon Black Cartridge for Cleaner, Safer Water
The S7028 Microline Sediment & Carbon Black Cartridge is designed to tackle common water impurities that challenge residential reverse osmosis (RO) systems. Unlike standard filters, this cartridge combines sediment removal with activated carbon filtration, providing a reliable and efficient solution to enhance water quality. Ideal for residential RO components, it helps protect your system from contaminants while improving taste and clarity.
Key Benefits
- Protects your RO system from sediment buildup, extending the lifespan of downstream components
- Reduces chlorine, odors, and organic compounds for fresher, better-tasting water
- Improves overall water clarity by effectively filtering suspended particles
- Enhances system efficiency by maintaining optimal flow and pressure
- Easy to install replacement cartridge designed for seamless integration into existing setups
- Durable construction ensures consistent performance over the life of the cartridge
How It Works
The S7028 cartridge combines a sediment filter with activated carbon media to address multiple contaminants in your residential RO system. First, sediment particles such as dirt, sand, and rust are trapped by the sediment layer, preventing them from clogging or damaging other components. Then, water passes through the carbon black section, where activated carbon adsorbs chlorine, volatile organic compounds, and unpleasant odors.
This dual-action filtration improves the water’s taste and appearance while safeguarding the RO membrane and other downstream filters, ensuring your system runs efficiently and reliably.
What to Expect
After installing the S7028 cartridge, you will notice an immediate improvement in water clarity and taste as sediment and chlorine contaminants are reduced. During the first days and weeks, your RO system will operate more smoothly, with less strain on membranes and pumps.
Over the longer term, this cartridge helps maintain consistent water quality and reduces maintenance frequency by preventing sediment accumulation. Replacing the cartridge as recommended will keep your system performing at its best without unexpected downtime.
What’s Inside
- Sediment Filter Layer – Captures fine particles to protect your RO membranes
- Activated Carbon Black Media – Adsorbs chlorine, odors, and organic compounds for improved water taste
- Durable Polypropylene Housing – Ensures a secure fit and resistance to pressure in residential RO setups
- Sealing Gaskets – Provide leak-free installation and reliable operation
How to Use
- Turn off the water supply to your RO system before beginning the replacement process.
- Relieve system pressure by opening the faucet or using the system’s pressure release valve.
- Remove the old sediment/carbon cartridge by twisting or unclipping it according to your system’s design.
- Insert the S7028 Microline Sed/Carbon Black Cartridge firmly into place, ensuring proper alignment with seals and housing.
- Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks around the cartridge housing.
- Flush the system by allowing water to run through the new cartridge for several minutes before use.
