Replacement filter for APEC CT-1000 countertop drinking water filter system Outstanding Chlorine, Taste and Odor Reduction, treats 99% of aesthetic chlorine, lasting up to 6,000 gallons of water. Lead Reduction: 2,500 Gallons @ 0.75 GPM Class 1 Turbidity Reduction; Cyst Reduction: Giardia, Cryptosporidium Performance Tested and Verified by Independent Laboratory Testing

APEC FI-PB1 is a powerful, multi-functional filter cartridge for residential and commercial water purification systems.

Heavy Metals Reduction
FI-PB1 extruded activated carbon filters reduce soluble lead using an ion-exchange filter medium with high specificity for soluble lead. Particulate filtration is used to intercept insoluble lead-containing particles. Standard 2.50” O.D. x 9.75” L filters will reduce lead, meeting the performance requirements of NSF Standard 53 protocol for over 2,500 gallons when operating at a flow of 0.75 GPM.

Chemical Adsorption
FI-PB1 filters offer high levels of chemical reduction in potable drinking water, including chlorine and other compounds that contribute to taste and odor.

Particulate, Cyst and Turbidity Reduction
FI-PB1 filters provide >99.98% reduction of 3-4 µm particulates, >99.96% reduction of 1-2 µm particulates, and are high performance sediment filters with extended life. Graded-density pre-filtration combined with high dirt capacity extruded activated carbon provide several times greater life than molded filters.
Standard filters are finished with an outer polypropylene spun-bonded pre-filtration medium overlying a second polypropylene melt-blown pre-filtration medium. A protective polypropylene netting is applied to the exterior of the cartridge. Polypropylene end caps with compression gaskets fit most standard housings.FI-PB1 filters consist of activated carbon particles fused into a uniform block with enhanced absorptive capacity and efficiency. FI-PB1 filters flow in a radial (outside-to-inside) direction, providing increased dirt capacity and low pressure drop. Unlike granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, cartridges will not channel or bypass due to the extreme uniformity of their extruded activated carbon core.

Contaminant reduction:
Lead (Up to 2,500 gal)
