Activated carbon works through adsorption — compounds bond to the carbon surface and are removed from the water as it passes through. The 5 micron rating also catches fine sediment as a secondary function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is a carbon block different from a sediment filter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSediment filters physically trap particles. Carbon blocks do that too, but their primary function is chemical — removing taste and odour compounds through adsorption. If your water smells or tastes of chlorine, a carbon block is what addresses it. A sediment filter alone won't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I need to replace it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend replacing every 6–12 months depending on your water quality and usage. The clearest signal for a carbon block is taste and odour returning — not just a pressure drop. If your water starts tasting or smelling of chlorine again, it's time to replace the cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I clean and reuse this cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Carbon block cartridges are not reusable. The activated carbon is consumed as it adsorbs compounds from your water — rinsing won't restore it. Replace when taste returns or flow drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt fits most 10 inch jumbo housings — these take a cartridge that's 10 inches long and 4.5 inches in diameter. If you're not sure whether your housing is a 10 inch jumbo or a 10 inch standard (which takes a narrower 2.5 inch cartridge), measure the inside diameter of your housing before ordering. Get in touch if you're not sure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a sediment filter before the carbon block?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, in most cases. A carbon block works best when the water entering it is relatively clear. In high-sediment water, a polyspun or pleated sediment filter upstream will protect the carbon block and extend its life. Most whole house systems use sediment stages before the carbon block for this reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need special tools to change the cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust the housing wrench that came with your system.

Carbon blocks do that too, but their primary function is chemical — removing taste and odour compounds through adsorption. If your water smells or tastes of chlorine, a carbon block is what addresses it. A sediment filter alone won't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the 20 inch version different from the 10 inch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 20 inch jumbo format contains more carbon media — this means a higher flow rate (75 L\/min vs 40 L\/min), greater carbon capacity, and longer service life. It's the better choice for larger households and high-flow installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I need to replace it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend replacing every 6–12 months depending on your water quality and usage. The clearest signal for a carbon block is taste and odour returning — not just a pressure drop. If your water starts tasting or smelling of chlorine again, it's time to replace the cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I clean and reuse this cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Carbon block cartridges are not reusable. The activated carbon is consumed as it adsorbs compounds from your water — rinsing won't restore it. Replace when taste returns or flow drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt fits most 20 inch jumbo housings — these take a cartridge that's 20 inches long and 4.5 inches in diameter. If you're not sure of your housing size, measure the inside diameter before ordering. Get in touch if you're not sure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a sediment filter before the carbon block?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, in most cases. A carbon block works best when the water entering it is relatively clear. In high-sediment water, a polyspun or pleated sediment filter upstream will protect the carbon block and extend its life. Most whole house systems use sediment stages before the carbon block for this reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need special tools to change the cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust the housing wrench that came with your system. Shut off the water first, unscrew the housing, swap the cartridge, and reinstall.

The 20\" version is longer — it holds more filter media, which gives it a higher flow rate, higher dirt-holding capacity, and longer intervals between cleaning and replacement.

Standard = 2.5\". Jumbo = 4.5\". These are not interchangeable — a Standard cartridge will not seat correctly in a Jumbo housing.

Rinse off accumulated sediment when flow drops, sterilise, and reinstall. Most cartridges can be cleaned multiple times before replacement is needed.
