Summary

Product Identification

The CFB-Plus series Modified Molded Block Cartridges are an enhanced version of the CFB product line, designed to combine the benefits of a sediment filter and a carbon block into a single cartridge. They are manufactured using proprietary Fibredyne technology, which involves attaching powdered activated carbon onto a cellulose-free synthetic fiber matrix.

Key features include:

  • Nominal 5-10 micron rating
  • Premium dirt-holding capacity
  • Premium chlorine taste & odor and bad taste and odor reduction

The Fibredyne carbon block technology offers up to two times the chlorine taste & odor reduction and dirt-holding capacity compared to traditional blocks. This technology also includes a unique post-filtration layer fused to the carbon/fiber media blend, preventing the release of fines into the effluent stream.

CFB-Plus Series cartridges are manufactured entirely from FDA-compliant materials, suitable for residential, food service, commercial, and industrial applications.

Materials of Construction:

  • Filter Media: Bonded PAC
  • End Caps: Polypropylene
  • Netting: Polyethylene
  • Gaskets: Santoprene™

Operating Limits

  • Temperature rating: 40°F-180°F (4.4°C-82.2°C)

Note: Cartridges may contain a small amount of carbon fines. After installation, flush new cartridges with sufficient water to remove all traces of fines prior to use.

Warning: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the unit.

Certification: Tested and Certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material requirements only.
