10" CTO Filter (Chlorine Teste and Odor Filter)

Key Details About CTO Filters

Purpose: Primarily used as a pre-filter or post-filter in RO systems to remove Chlorine, Taste, and Odor (CTO).

Composition: These are usually carbon blocks made of compressed powder activated carbon or coconut shell carbon.

Functionality: Beyond odors and chlorine, they filter out organic chemicals, trihalomethanes, and various sediment particles.

Performance: Compared to GAC (Granular Activated Carbon), CTO filters have a denser structure, providing superior particle retention, reduced channeling, and better taste improvement.

Lifespan: Depending on usage and water quality, they typically need replacement every 6 to 12 months.
