Summary
Product identification
The C-245 Series Modified Molded Block Carbon Cartridges are designed for industrial applications, offering both chlorine taste & odor reduction and high sediment reduction.
Key features and benefits include:
- Up to two times the chlorine taste & odor reduction and dirt-holding capacity of traditional carbon blocks.
- Combines the benefits of both a sediment filter and a carbon block into a single cartridge.
- Low pressure drop over the entire life of the cartridge.
- A post-filtration layer is fused to the carbon/fiber media blend to prevent fines from being released into the effluent stream.
- Manufactured entirely from FDA-compliant materials.
- Tested and Certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material requirements only.
The cartridges utilize proprietary Fibredyne technology, which creates a filter media by attaching powdered activated carbon onto a cellulose-free synthetic fiber matrix.
Applications:
- Commercial
- Food Service
- Industrial
- Residential Water
Operating limits
- Temperature rating: 40˚-180˚F (4.4˚-82.2˚C)
Warning: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Chlorine taste & odor reduction based on manufacturer’s internal testing. Estimated capacity using 2 ppm free available chlorine at 0.5 ppm breakthrough.
A graph depicting approximate net pressure drop versus flow rate is available in the official PDF for models C-245X10T, C-245X20T, and C-245X30T.
Note: Cartridges will contain a very small amount of carbon fines (very fine black powder). After installation, a new cartridge should be flushed with sufficient water to remove all traces of fines prior to using the water. Micron ratings are based on 85% or greater removal of given particle size.
