| Cartridge Comparison Chart – 10″ × 2.5″ (9 7/8″ × 2.5″) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SKU | Cartridge Type | Purpose | What It Removes | Iron & H2S Effectiveness / Best Use |
| First Stage – Sediment Filtration | ||||
| SED5 (SED5-10) | Standard Sediment 5 Micron | Basic sediment removal to protect downstream filters | Sand, dirt, rust, silt | • Municipal water • Low–moderate sediment load |
| SED5-PLT | Pleated Sediment | High-capacity Multi Use filter with extended service life (more surface area) | Sand, dirt, silt, debris | • Well water / high sediment • Longer service intervals |
| Second Stage – Carbon Filtration | ||||
| GAC (GAC-10) | Media: GAC Carbon | Chlorine taste & odor reduction | Chlorine, Chloramine, taste, odor | • No iron / sulfur removal |
| CAT-10 | Media: Catalytic Carbon (Centaur Catalityc Calgon) | Advanced chemical reduction (better for chloramine vs. standard GAC) | Chlorine, chloramine, VOCs, solvents, H2S (rotten egg odor), low iron |
• Iron: effective for trace/low levels (about up to ~0.3 ppm) • H2S: mild odor reduction |
| CATKDF85-10 | Media: Catalytic Carbon + KDF-85 (3/4 lbs) | Iron & sulfur odor reduction plus broad chemical filtration | Iron, H2S, chlorine/chloramine, VOCs, heavy metals (redox treatment) |
• IRON: stronger reduction; suitable for light–moderate iron (about ~1–3 ppm) • H2S (rotten egg): stronger, more consistent odor reduction • Manganese: effective for LOW manganese only: approximately 0.1–1.0 ppm (mg/L) |
| Third Stage – Carbon Block / Polishing | ||||
| CTO-10 (CTO105) | Standard CTO Block | Final carbon filtration / polishing | Chlorine, taste, odor | • Standard use • Great as final polishing stage |
| CBCO-10-5 | Activated Coconut Carbon Block | Enhanced polishing with premium adsorption | Chlorine, VOCs, chemicals, taste & odor. Coconut-shell carbon provides higher adsorption efficiency, cleaner taste, and lower ash content compared to standard carbon blocks. | • Premium taste-focused use • Higher performance adsorption |
CAT-10 (Catalytic Carbon only)
Provides limited iron reduction
Best for trace iron typically found in municipal water
Effective range: up to ~0.3 ppm
Not intended as a primary iron filter
CATKDF85-10 (Catalytic Carbon + KDF-85)
Significantly stronger iron reduction due to redox reaction
Suitable for light to moderate iron levels
Effective range: up to ~1–3 ppm in cartridge (non-backwashing) systems
Helps prevent iron fouling of downstream filters
Catalytic carbon converts hydrogen sulfide through oxidation
CAT-10: effective for mild sulfur odor
CATKDF85-10: enhanced H₂S reduction, more stable performance, longer media life
For high sulfur levels, a backwashing system or aeration is recommended
CATKDF85-10. Effective for LOW manganese only: approximately 0.1–1.0 ppm (mg/L)
CATKDF85-10: Catalytic carbon is an effective medium designed to help reduce pesticides, herbicides, PFAS, and pharmaceuticals, offering improved performance compared to standard GAC filters
Chloramine + mild sulfur odor: → CAT-10
Iron + sulfur odor (well water): → CATKDF85-10
Trace iron only (<0.3 ppm): → CAT-10
Iron above 1 ppm: → CATKDF85-10 (or dedicated iron filter for higher levels)
High sediment / well water: → SED5-PLT
Chloramine removal: → CAT-10
Iron + chemical reduction: → CATKDF85-10
Best taste & drinking water quality: → CBCO-10-5
