CFB Series Molded Block Cartridges
Engineering summary from PDF text extraction for CFB Series Molded Block Cartridges. Verify every value with the OEM datasheet.
Summary
Product Identification
CFB Series Modified Molded Block Cartridges are designed with proprietary Fibredyne™ technology, which attaches powdered activated carbon onto a cellulose-free synthetic fiber matrix. This creates a unique filter media combining the benefits of both a sediment filter and a carbon block into a single cartridge. These products are manufactured entirely from FDA-compliant materials.
Key Features
- Nominal 10-micron rating*
- Excellent dirt-holding capacity*
- High chlorine taste & odor and bad taste & odor reduction*
- Economic choice for high sediment applications leading to premature plugging
- Fibredyne's carbon block technology offers up to two times the chlorine taste & odor reduction and dirt-holding capacity of traditional blocks.*
- Will not release fines into the effluent stream due to a unique post-filtration layer fused to the carbon/fiber media blend.
Operating Limits
- Temperature Rating: 40°F-180°F (4.4°C-82.2°C)
Performance Data
| Model | Maximum Dimensions | Micron Rating (Nominal)* | Initial ΔP (psi) @ Flow Rate (gpm)* | Chlorine Taste & Odor Reduction @ Flow Rate (gpm)* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CFB-10 | 2⁷⁄⁸" x 9¾" (73mm x 248mm) | 10 | 3.0 psi @ 1 gpm (0.7 bar @ 3.8 Lpm) | >5,000 gallons @ 1 gpm (>18,900 L @ 3.8 Lpm) |
| CFB-20 | 2⁷⁄⁸" x 20" (73mm x 508mm) | 10 | 3.0 psi @ 2 gpm (0.7 bar @ 7.6 Lpm) | >10,000 gallons @ 2 gpm (>37,800 L @ 7.6 Lpm) |
| CFB-30 | 2⁷⁄⁸" x 30" (73mm x 762mm) | 10 | 3.0 psi @ 3 gpm (0.7 bar @ 11.4 Lpm) | >15,000 gallons @ 3 gpm (>56,700 L @ 11.4 Lpm) |

Materials of Construction
- Filter Media: Bonded PAC
- End Caps: Polypropylene
- Netting: Polyethylene
- Gaskets: Santoprene™
Additional Notes
- Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the unit.
- Performance capacity depends on system design, flow rate, and certain other application conditions.
- Certain states require system registration or certification for health-related contaminant reduction claims.
- 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 a given particle size. Estimated capacity uses 2 ppm free available chlorine at 0.5 ppm breakthrough.
Certifications
- Tested and Certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material requirements only.
