Summary
Product identification
Carbflex™ Series CAF-250 CFB Modified Molded Block Carbon Filter Cartridges offer effective chlorine taste & odor reduction and excellent sediment reduction capabilities. These cartridges are an ideal choice for applications with high contaminant loads that can lead to premature plugging of other cartridges.
Features
- Nominal 10 micron rating
- Excellent dirt-holding capacity
- High chlorine taste & odor and bad taste & odor reduction
- Combines benefits of a sediment filter and a carbon block into a single cartridge
- Made with proprietary Fiberdyne™ technology
- Manufactured entirely from FDA-compliant materials
- Post-filtration layer fused to the carbon-fiber media blend ensures cartridge will not release fines into the effluent stream
Applications
- Commercial
- Food Service
- High Sediment
- Industrial
- Residential Water
Operating limits
- Temperature Rating: 40˚F (4.4˚C)–180˚F (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.
Mechanical / hydraulic
Materials
- Filtration Media: Bonded PAC
- Endcaps: Polypropylene
- Netting: Polyethylene
- Gasket: Santoprene®

| CFB-30 | 2.8" x 30" (73 mm x 762 mm) | 10 | 3.0 PSI @ 3.0 gpm (0.7 bar @ 11.4 Lpm) | >15,000 gallons @ 3 gpm (>56,700 L @ 11.4 Lpm) |
Test Data Graphs showing Approximate Net Pressure Drop and Sediment Reduction Percent Efficiency are available in the official PDF. See the official PDF for exact tabulated values.
Product water
- The cartridges are tested and certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material requirements only.
- Micron ratings are based on 85% or greater removal of a given particle size.
- Estimated capacity for chlorine taste & odor reduction uses 2 ppm free available chlorine at 0.5 ppm breakthrough.
Note: Performance capacity depends on system design, flow rate, and certain other application conditions. Note: Cartridges will contain a very small amount of carbon fines. After installation, a new cartridge should be flushed with sufficient water to remove all traces of fines prior to using the water.
