Summary
Product identification
FloPlus™ Series Modified Molded Carbon Block cartridges are designed for whole-house cyst reduction with carbon treatment. They utilize a revolutionary technology based on Fibredyne® products to achieve 0.5-micron particulate efficiency with flow rates and low pressure drops comparable to nominal 10-micron carbon cartridges.
Available models include:
- FloPlus-10
- FloPlus-20
- FloPlus-10BB
- FloPlus-20BB
Features
- Nominal 0.5-micron rating
- 99.95% reduction of Cryptosporidium and Giardia cysts
- Premium dirt-holding capacity
- Outstanding chlorine taste & odor reduction
- True depth filtration which offers greatest life of any cyst-capable carbon cartridge
Benefits
- High flow rates and low pressure drop similar to a nominal 10-micron cartridge
- Delivers optimal cyst reduction for whole house carbon treatment
- Maximum life — dirt-holding ability of a 10-micron carbon block with the particulate efficiency of a 0.5-micron cartridge
Applications
- Whole house cyst reduction with carbon treatment
- Cyst reduction where low flow, high pressure drop or premature plugging has been problematic
- Areas where low water pressure has made cyst reduction difficult due to high pressure drops (low flow)
- High flow applications (>25 gpm possible)
Operating limits
- Temperature Rating: 40°F to 180°F (4.4°C to 82.2°C)

Certifications
The FloPlus cartridges (FPS-10 with FloPlus 10, FPS-20 with FloPlus 20, FPS-10BB with FloPlus 10BB, and FPS-20BB with FloPlus 20BB) are Tested and Certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 53 for the reduction of Cysts.
Warnings and Notes
- Performance capacity depends on system design, flow rate and other application conditions.
- Certain states require system registration or certification for health-related reduction claims.
- For drinking water applications, do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
- A drinking water cartridge may contain carbon fines (very fine black powder). After installation and before using the water, follow instructions for flushing the cartridge to remove fines.
- It is recommended that you run the tap for 20 seconds prior to using the water for drinking or cooking purposes.
