ClearChoice 10" Slimline Carbon Block Cartridge for PFOA/PFOS, VOCs

PFOA and PFOS are fluorinated organic chemicals that are part of a larger group of chemicals referred to as perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). PFOA and PFOS have been the most extensively produced and studied of these chemicals. They have been used to make carpets, clothing, fabrics for furniture, paper packaging for food and other materials (e.g., cookware) that are resistant to water, grease or stains. They are also used for firefighting at airfields and in a number of industrial processes. Studies indicate that exposure to PFOA and PFOS over certain levels may result in adverse health effects, including developmental effects to fetuses during pregnancy or to breastfed infants (e.g., low birth weight, accelerated puberty, skeletal variations), cancer (e.g.,testicular, kidney), liver effects (e.g., tissue damage), immune effects (e.g., antibody production and immunity), thyroid effects and other effects (e.g., cholesterol changes).

• Carbon meets NSF 61 & 42 standard and is Prop 65 compliant
• Independent, 3rd-party testing shows that the filter can remove up to 97% of  PFOA/PFOS at a flow rate of 0.75gpm
• Independent, 3rd-party testing shows that the filter can reduce 50 different volatile organic compounds up to to 97% at a flow rate of 0.75gpm
• Independent, 3rd-party testing shows that the filter can reduce chlorine up to to 97% at a flow rate of 0.75gpm
• Useful life - 6 months or 3,000 gallons - whichever comes first
• This cartridge uses a highly reactive carbon combination to create a carbon block that effectively reduces PFOA/PFOS, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and chlorine.  
• This filter can operate a flow rates up to 5 gpm, but optimal fitration is achieved at lower flow rates
• Drops in standard housings that accept 2.5" X 10" cartridges
