Quick answerAn activated carbon filter cartridge removes chlorine, bad taste, odour and many organic chemicals by adsorption onto porous carbon. Filtsap makes carbon-impregnated wound cartridges in 10" and 20", in both standard 2.5" and jumbo 4.5" sizes. They are used as the pre-carbon stage in RO systems and for dechlorination in industry.
Removing chlorine before an RO membrane is critical, because free chlorine damages thin-film composite membranes. A carbon cartridge after the 5 micron sediment stage is the usual set-up.

FAQs
How long does a carbon cartridge last?
A carbon cartridge usually lasts 3–6 months on municipal water. Replace it sooner if taste or odour returns, or if chlorine shows up in the outlet water.
