Countertop, Undersink and Refrigerator Water Filter Replacement Cartridges
CRYSTAL QUEST® 2.5" x 9.75" 5-Micron Carbon Block Filter Cartridge
CQE-RC-04000
CRYSTAL QUEST® Carbon Block simultaneously removes chlorine, bad taste and odor, and organic chemicals that contribute to taste and odor, while providing the particulate filtration and dirt-holding capacity of an efficient 5µm nominal sediment filter. The extrusion process allows the production of a carbon block with more carbon, but a lower pressure drop. CRYSTAL QUEST® Carbon Block filters deliver extended life, while removing sediment, chlorine, bad taste and odor, and organic contaminants from water, aqueous solutions or suspensions. The CRYSTAL QUEST® Carbon Block is also widely used in filtering organic solvents.
