Special
order filters are available in varying sizes with lengths from
1” to 60”.
Standard filters are finished with an outer
polypropylene spunbonded prefiltration medium overlying a
second polypropylene melt-blown prefiltration medium. A
protective polypropylene netting is applied to the exterior of
the cartridge. Polypropylene end caps with compression gaskets
fit most standard housings.
Inquire
concerning alternative filter finishing options, including
alternative end cap and housing interface styles; a wide range
of non-standard extruded filter sizes; and non-standard
prefiltration systems.
MATRIKX® +
Pb1 filters consist of activated carbon particles fused into a
uniform block with enhanced adsorptive capacity and
efficiency. MATRIKX® + Pb1 filters flow in a radial
(outside-to-inside) direction, providing increased dirt
capacity and low pressure drop. Unlike granular activated
carbon (GAC) filters, MATRIKX® + Pb1 cartridges will not
channel or bypass due to the extreme uniformity of their
extruded activated carbon core. Service life of the MATRIKX® +
Pb1 filter is greatly extended by two layers of prefiltration
media consisting of a 15 µm polypropylene spunbonded outer
prefiltration layer and a 5 µm polypropylene melt-blown inner
layer.

- Graded density prefiltration design
- Manufactured using FDA-compliant materials
Performance
of a given MATRIKX® extruded carbon filter varies in direct
proportion to the total weight of carbon in each filter. For
example, a 4.25” O.D. x 20” L MATRIKX® filter contains
approximately seven times as much activated carbon as a 2.50”
O. D. x 9.75” L MATRIKX® filter, and will therefore have seven
times the rated chlorine and lead-adsorption capacities when
operated at seven times the rated flow of the smaller
cartridge. Hence, rated flow is based on maintaining identical
contact/residence times for all filters.
Chlorine capacity is the capacity in gallons during
which the filter will remove > 95% of influent free
available chlorine (2 ppm) when operating at a given flow and
has been tested using the NSF Standard 42 protocol for
chlorine reduction.
Nominal particulate rating (0.5 µm) is for >85% of a
given size as determined from single-pass particle counting
results.*
Absolute particulate rating (1 µm ) is for >99.9% of
particles of a given size as determined from single-pass
particle counting results.**
*Nominal Filter Rating: Filter rating indicating the
approximate size particle, the majority of which will not pass
through the filter. It is generally interpreted as meaning
that 85% of the particles of the size equal to the nominal
micron rating will be retained by the filter. (WQA Glossary of
Terms, Third Edition, 3-97).
**Absolute Filter Rating: Filter rating meaning that
99.9% (or essentially all) of the particles larger than a
specific micron rating will be trapped on or within the
filter. (WQA Glossary of Terms, Third Edition,
3-97)
- Maximum Operating Temperature: 125°F
- Maximum Operating Pressure: 250 psig
- Maximum Differential Pressure: 100 psid
- Collapse Pressure: 200 psid
MATRIKX® filters are not to be autoclaved or
steam-sterilized.
Use
MATRIKX® carbon filters only with microbiologically safe and
adequately disinfected water. Activated carbon filters are not
designed to kill or remove bacteria or viruses. Actual
results obtained will vary with various combinations of
organic contaminants, changes in pH or other conditions
encountered in actual use.
All
information presented here is based on data believed to be
reliable. It is offered for evaluation and verification, but

MATRIKX® filters are designed to fit most standard
household and commercial or industrial housings.
