The granular activated carbon also removes chlorine and the compounds that cause off tastes and odours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated to 2,000 L, with a typical service life of 6 months in normal household use — whichever comes first. Cartridge life will vary depending on your water quality and flow habits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the capacity figure refer to fluoride reduction specifically?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 2,000 L rating is based on 80–90% fluoride reduction at 1 mg\/L fluoride. The GAC component for taste and odour may have a longer effective life, but replace the whole cartridge at 2,000 L or 6 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it for whole-house filtration?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The AFAC10 is designed for point-of-use, cold water service only. It is not rated for whole-house installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it need a sediment pre-filter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's strongly recommended. A sediment pre-filter upstream protects the Actival media's active sites from clogging and helps the cartridge reach its full service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat water conditions affect performance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh pH, flow rates above 2 lpm, and bicarbonate alkalinity above 100 mg\/L will reduce fluoride removal effectiveness. If you're unsure about your water quality, get in touch before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AFAC10 is a 10\" standard cartridge (10\" × 2.5\"). It fits any 10\" standard filter housing. If your housing takes a 2.5\" diameter cartridge, it's compatible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I clean and reuse it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The AFAC10 is non-regenerable — the Actival media is consumed as it captures fluoride and cannot be restored at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need special tools to change it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. A standard filter housing spanner — usually supplied with your housing — is all you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty applies?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilter cartridges are consumable items.
