ICEPURE 1 Micron 20x4.5 Inch Whole House CTO Coconut Shell Activated Carbon Filter – 2 Pack

Overview

Meet the ICEPURE 1 micron CTO coconut shell activated carbon filter cartridge, designed for whole house filtration. It fits standard 20x4.5 inch housings and works with popular models such as FC25B, CB-BB-20, EPM-20BB, EP-20BB, and more. By leveraging coconut shell activated carbon and a robust filtration approach, it aims to improve the sensory qualities of household water, especially by reducing chlorine taste and odor that can accompany treated water.

The cartridge carries NSF/ANSI 42 certification for material safety, reflecting a trusted filtration standard. While the filter excels with treated municipal water, slightly different results may occur with well water that contains larger particles. If your water source includes high sediment, you may want to pair this filter with prefiltration or consider alternatives designed for well water.
