The high grade filter is our top of the range cartridge and remains the leading filter media in Australia. The filter is made in the states but has the highest possible American certification (nsf). This filter will remove greater then 99% of giardia and cryptosporidium (a common yet harmful bacteria) as well as greater then 99% of lead which comes from your brass and copper pipes. Also removes chlorine taste colour and odour and other metals.

Particulate filtration is used to intercept insoluble lead-containing particles, even those less than 2μm in diameter. Standard filters* reduce lead (meeting National Sanitation Foundation Standard 53 test protocol) for over 2,500 gallons when operated at a flow of 0.75 GPM. CHEMICAL ADSORPTION MATRIKX® Pb1 filters offer high levels of organic chemicals reduction, and reduce trihalomethanes (THMs), volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), chlorine, and chemicals that contribute to taste and odor. PARTICULATE, CYST AND TURBIDITY REDUCTION MATRIKX® Pb1 filters provide ≥99.984% reduction of 3 - 4 μm particles (≥99.96% reduction of 1 -2 μm particles) and operate as high performance sediment filters with extended life. Graded-density prefiltration combined with a high dirt capacity extruded activated carbon serve to provide several times greater dirt life than molded filter products. DESIGN FEATURES MATRIKX® Pb1 filters flow in the 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 5μm polypropylene melt-blown inner layer. Recommended installations are in fluids having upstream 1-5 μm prefilters or as stand-alone high-performance filter elements. APPLICATIONS MATRIKX® Pb1 is a powerful, multi-functional, filter cartridge for residential and industrial water purification systems, industrial effluent water treatment, food service, and industrial makeup, product rinse, and process water treatment. *A “standard filter” is 2.50” O.D. x 9.75” length and fits most standard household and commercial filter housings.

P b 1 E X T R U D E D F I L T E R S SOLUBLE LEAD REMOVAL Test Results: Standard 2.50” O.D. x 1.25” I.D. x 9.75” L MATRIKX® Pb1 extruded carbon filter cartridges were challenged with influent water flowing at 0.75 GPM and containing approximately 150 ppb of soluble lead at both high pH and alkalinity, and low pH and low alkalinity. The results demonstrate that the MATRIKX® Pb1 will reduce soluble and insoluble lead to below 15 ppb for greater than 2,500 gallons. Test Conditions: Two randomly selected, standard production cartridges were challenged with water containing an average of 150 ppb of soluble lead nitrate at a flow rate of 0.75 GPM to determine the filter’s efficiency for the reduction of soluble lead at low pH, TDS and alkalinity. A second set of filters were tested under similar conditions, but with influent water at high pH, high TDS and alkalinity.

NOTES: 1Performance 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 absorption capacities, when operating at seven times the rated flow of the smaller cartridge. Hence, rated flow is based on maintaining identical contact/residence times for all filters. 2Chlorine capacity is the estimated capacity in gallons during which the filter will remove greater than 95% of influent chlorine (2ppm) when operating at a given flow. 3Particulate rating for >99.9% removal of a given size as determined from particle counting results. 4Lead reduction capacity in gallons to obtain ≥90% removal of influent lead (150 ppb influent) at a given flow and at a pH of 6.5/8.5, according to the standard National Sanitation Foundation protocol. WARNINGS:  Maximum Operating Temperature: 125º F.  Maximum Operating Pressure: 250 psig.  Maximum Differential Pressure: 100 psid.  Collapse Pressure: 200 psid.
