Description
The Crystal Quest Inline Granular Activated Coconut Shell Carbon (GAC) Filter Cartridge is designed for compatible inline and reverse osmosis filtration applications.
This cartridge uses granular activated coconut shell carbon, also called GAC, to support reduction of volatile organic carbon compounds, insecticides, pesticides, and industrial solvents.
Both listed options have a flow rate of 0.5 GPM / 1.9 LPM and an estimated capacity of 12–18 months.
Capacity is an estimate only and depends on influent water contaminants and filter usage.
Construction materials include polypropylene end caps, polyolefin inner / outer wraps, and Buna-N gaskets end caps for both inline and RO configurations.
Operating specifications include a pressure range of 20–60 psi and a temperature range of 40°F–90°F.
A leak detector / flood-prevention valve is optional with purchase, but it is highly recommended to help reduce the risk of property damage. Flood damage can occur from unpredictable circumstances, including installation errors, tubing issues, valve issues, connection failures, or other water-system problems.
