Our CTO and wound filter cartridge merges the depth filtration of a string wound element with the superior chemical adsorption of a carbon block (CTO) core. This double layer filtration cartridge is engineered for applications demanding high dirt holding capacity and effective chlorine reduction. The carbon block string wound construction makes it an exceptionally high capacity pre filter, ideal for protecting downstream equipment from both particulate and chemical contaminants in challenging water conditions.
Exceptional Dirt Load Capacity: The outer string wound layer provides deep-bed filtration, effectively trapping a large volume of silt, sand, and rust, which prevents premature clogging of the inner carbon block.
Enhanced Chlorine Removal: The inner compressed carbon block (CTO) core is dedicated to reducing chlorine, chloramines, and unpleasant tastes and odors, ensuring water quality is improved both chemically and mechanically.
Protects Valuable Equipment: By providing robust sediment and chlorine filter protection in one unit, it serves as an ideal industrial water pre treatment solution, safeguarding reverse osmosis membranes, UV lamps, and ion exchange resins from fouling and degradation.
Extended Service Life: The combination of two high-capacity media types in a strategic sequence allows the cartridge to handle heavier contaminant loads for longer periods than standard single-media filters, reducing maintenance frequency.
Outer Media | PP String Wound Depth Filter |
Inner Core | Compressed Carbon Block (CTO) |
Filtration Functions | Depth Sediment Removal & Chemical Adsorption |
Chlorine Reduction | > 95% |
Sediment Filtration | 5 - 30 Micron (Wound Layer) |
Max Operating Temperature | ≤ 52°C (125°F) |
Industrial Pretreatment Systems: Used in manufacturing facilities, factories, and commercial buildings for robust industrial water pre treatment, protecting process equipment and improving water quality.
Agricultural and Irrigation Control: Filters sediment from pond, canal, or well water while also reducing chlorine that can be harmful to certain crops and soil microbiomes in irrigation systems.
Commercial Laundries and Car Washes: Protects water-using equipment and improves the quality of wash water, leading to cleaner results and preventing injector nozzle clogging.
1. Depressurize and open the filter vessel.
2. Remove the used composite filter.
3. Inspect and clean the housing sump.
4. Install the new CTO and wound cartridge. ensuring the O-rings are clean and seated.
5. Close the vessel. repressurize slowly. and flush thoroughly for several minutes to expel air and carbon fines.
Q: Can this filter be used with hot water?
A: No, the standard materials (PP and carbon) are rated for cold water applications only (up to 52°C / 125°F).
Q: Is the string wound layer washable?
A: No, this is a disposable composite filter cartridge. The wound layer is not designed to be cleaned and reused.
