PUREPLUS 5-Micron CTO 10x4.5-Inch Whole House Carbon Filter

Upgrade your home’s drinking water experience with the PUREPLUS 5-micron CTO cartridge. Crafted from 100% coconut shell activated carbon, this filter brings a refined filtration stage to your entire house, helping to reduce taste and odor challenges while preserving essential minerals. The compact 10x4.5-inch form fits a wide range of standard housings, making installation straightforward for many residential filter systems.

What makes this filter stand out

Engineered with advanced sintering technology, the carbon block delivers higher adsorption capacity, enabling it to target a broad spectrum of particulates and contaminants. The result is a noticeable improvement in water clarity and color, thanks to the reduction of suspended particles and discoloration. While the product is designed for municipal tap water, its performance is best suited for typical household sources, with some variability depending on local supply conditions.

Certifications and safety you can trust

The cartridge is tested and certified under IAMPO and NSF/ANSI 42 standards for material safety and performance. In addition, it aligns with European EC 1935/2004 food-grade regulations and other recognized certifications, underscoring a commitment to quality and safe use in everyday home settings.

Performance and capacity

With coconut shell carbon and a refined pore structure, this filter is designed to handle common filtration tasks in a single-family home. It can reduce chlorine taste and odor, along with fine sediments and color, contributing to a cleaner-tasting daily water experience. Capacity varies with water quality, but many households find a replacement cadence of roughly every 3–6 months to maintain peak performance. In practical terms, you may encounter up to substantial filtration before changing based on usage and water quality.

Compatibility and installation

The PUREPLUS cartridge is compatible with most standard 10 x 4.5-inch housings and a broad array of filter brands. It serves as a replacement for several popular models, including Dupont WFHDC8001 and other 10-inch filter housings. This 2-pack option offers convenient, cost-effective maintenance for households aiming to sustain clean, crisp water across outlets.

Use cases and everyday benefits

For many households that rely on municipal water supplies, this cartridge can contribute to a more pleasant daily water experience, making beverages and cooking taste fresher and more consistent.
