Powdered activated carbon is impregnated onto a pleated polyester structure, combining the high surface area and dirt-loading capacity of a pleated cartridge with light duty carbon functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pleated design allows significantly higher flow rates than conventional carbon block cartridges, while maintaining a minimal pressure drop.

This means the PPAC can handle higher flow rates and heavier sediment loads while still providing chlorine, taste, and odour reduction.

For pesticide and THM reduction, the ACB or BPAC carbon block cartridges are the right choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I clean and reuse this cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Wash under a tap when flow rate drops, or every 3 to 6 months as routine maintenance. Replace the cartridge every 12 months regardless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is this different from the ACB and BPAC carbon block cartridges?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PPAC uses a pleated polyester structure impregnated with carbon, giving it a much larger surface area and higher flow rate than a solid carbon block. The ACB and BPAC cartridges contain significantly more carbon and are designed for fuller chemical reduction including organics, pesticides, and THMs. The PPAC is the right choice for high-flow applications where light chlorine and sediment reduction is sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it certified?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This cartridge does not carry WaterMark or AS\/NZS 4020 certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it with hot water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. These cartridges are for cold water use only, with a maximum temperature of 52°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt fits most 10\" jumbo housings — those designed for a 10\" × 4.5\" cartridge. To check, measure the inside diameter of your housing. Jumbo cartridges are approximately 4.5\" across; standard cartridges are approximately 2.5\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need special tools to change the cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll need a housing wrench to open the filter housing — most housings include one.
