Summary
Product identification
Carbflex™ Series CAF-250 & CAF-450 CFB-Plus Modified Molded Block Filter Cartridges. These cartridges offer enhanced chlorine taste & odor reduction and high sediment reduction levels in a carbon cartridge.
Applications
- Commercial
- Food Service
- Industrial
- Residential
Features
- Combines the benefits of both a sediment filter and a carbon block into a single cartridge.
- Provides up to two times the chlorine taste & odor reduction and dirt-holding capacity of traditional blocks.
- Nominal 5-10 micron rating.
- Available in 2.8" and 4.6" inch diameters.
- Post-filtration layer, fused to the carbon-fiber media blend, prevents fines from being released into the effluent.
- Fibredyne™ technology creates a unique filter media by attaching powdered activated carbon onto a cellulose-free synthetic fiber matrix.
- Manufactured entirely from FDA-compliant materials.
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.
Materials of construction
- Filtration Media: Bonded PAC
- Endcaps: Polypropylene
- Netting: Polyethylene
- Gasket: Santoprene®

Based on manufacturer's internal testing.
Notes
- Performance capacity depends on system design, flow rate, and certain other application conditions.
- Cartridges may 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 a given particle size.
- Estimated capacity uses 2 ppm free available chlorine at 0.5 ppm breakthrough.
- Tested and Certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material requirements only.
