Osmio 4.5 x 10 Inch Carbon Block Whole House Filter System
The Osmio 4.5 x 10 Inch Carbon Block Whole House System consists of a 4.5 x 10 Inch Blue Housing with Carbon Block 5 Micron.
The carbon block filter is made from dried coconut shells and is highly effective at the reduction of chlorine and taste and odour issues that may be present in the mains tap water. The carbon block also reduces certain Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOC) from drinking water. The coconut base of the carbon also makes a slightly sweeter taste which is pleasant. The carbon block has a very high dirt holding capacity with virtually zero pressure drop. The filter is rated for 46,000 litres so is usually changed every 6 months.
Frequently asked questions:
