KX MatriKX CTO Carbon Block Filters for Chlorine Taste and Odor Reduction

Benefits of KX MatriKX CTO Plus Carbon Block Filters

KX Matrikx CTO Plus carbon block filters are now powered by GreenBlock® technology. They feature:

• 1 micron nominal filtration for removal of sediment, dirt, rust, and suspended solids.
• High capacity Chlorine reduction.
• Exceptionally low pressure drop. 
• High dirt holding capacity. 
• Excellent chemical contaminant reduction. 
• High Adsorptive Capacity and Efficiency. 
• NSF and WQA certification for Material Safety. California Prop. 65 compliance

Benefits of Carbon Block Filters vs. Conventional GAC Filters:

• Chlorine Taste and Odor Reduction as well as Dirt and Sediment Removal: for better tasting drinking water, and protection of downstream equipment.
• No release of carbon fines: Extruded carbon filters do not release activated carbon particles ("gray water") during startup or operation. Extensive flushing or "activation" of extruded filter elements is not required.
• No channeling, fluidizing, or bypassing: Extruded carbon is a rigid structure that prevents movement of the adsorbent particles or the formation of channels and defects in the adsorbent structure.
• Low pressure drop: Water flows through an extruded filter element in the "radial" direction (from the outside of the filter element to the inside). This results in nearly fifteen times more prefiltration surface area and a much lower flow "density".
• Low binder content and high dirt capacity: Only a small amount of thermoplastic binder is used in the extrusion process, about one-half of what is used in a molded carbon block.
