Carbon Block · Chlorine & Odour Reduction
Chlorine-Free, Odour-Free Water with the 10 inch CTO Carbon Cartridge Filter
The 10 inch CTO Carbon Cartridge Filter is a treatment cartridge made by compressing activated carbon into a solid block. By adsorbing chlorine, odour, off-taste and organic compounds it brings the water closer to drinking quality, and it protects the membrane from the effects of chlorine.

01Problem & Solution
Chlorine Spoils Both the Taste and the Membrane
Problem
Poor Taste, a Worn Membrane
Chlorine in mains water gives it a sharp taste and smell. That same chlorine permanently damages the polyamide surface of a reverse osmosis membrane, so it must never reach the membrane untreated.
Solution
Dense Carbon Block Contact
With its compressed block structure, the 10 inch CTO Carbon Cartridge Filter extends the time water is in contact with the carbon. Chlorine, odour and organic compounds are adsorbed; the taste improves and the membrane is protected.
02Key Features
Dense, Effective, Compatible
The 10 inch CTO Carbon Cartridge Filter is the taste and odour stage of a treatment system.
Chlorine Reduction
By adsorbing free chlorine from mains water, it improves the taste and smell of the water.
Compressed Block Structure
The dense block body gives longer contact time and steadier flow than granular carbon.
Organic Compound Adsorption
Helps capture the organic compounds that give water colour, taste and odour.
Reduces Carbon Carry-Over
The block structure markedly reduces the dust carry-over seen with granular carbon cartridges.
Protects the Membrane
By removing chlorine, it helps extend the life of the reverse osmosis membrane.
Standard 10 inch Size
Compatible with common 10″ filter housings; it can be used regardless of brand.
03Technical Specifications
Product Details
| Feature | Value | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Product Type | Carbon Block (CTO) Filter | The product family it belongs to. When buying a spare, the family alone is not enough; the size and model must match too. |
| Size | 10 inch | The physical size. If a spare does not match this, it will not go into the housing. |
| Construction | Compressed Activated Carbon | How the unit is put together. A compact cabinet takes little room; an open system makes servicing easier. |
| Function | Chlorine, Taste and Odour Reduction | What the product does to the water. |
| Stage | Carbon Before the Membrane | The number of treatment stages. Each stage takes out a different kind of contamination. |
| Compatibility | Standard 10" Filter Housings | Which units and housings it works with. Compare it with yours before ordering. |
04Applications
Where Is It Used?
The 10 inch CTO Carbon Cartridge Filter is used in systems that need chlorine and odour reduction.
- Under-Sink RO Systems
- Homes & Kitchens
- Office & Workplace Systems
- Cafés & Restaurants
- Filtered Water Dispensers
- Well & Borehole Water Lines
- Annual Filter Replacement
- Service & Installation Engineers
05How It Works
How Does the 10 inch CTO Carbon Cartridge Filter Work?
It Comes After the Sediment Stage
Water that has passed the sediment filter reaches the carbon stage free of coarse particles.
It Passes Through the Block Body
Water travels slowly from the outer surface of the compressed carbon block towards the centre.
Adsorption Takes Place
Chlorine, odour and organic molecules attach to the porous carbon surface and leave the water.
Clean Water Reaches the Membrane
Free of chlorine, the water reaches the membrane, so the membrane surface is protected from chemical attack.
Replaced When Saturated
When the carbon surface is saturated, chlorine reduction weakens and a change in taste and smell becomes noticeable.
06Making the Right Choice
CTO or GAC?
When choosing the 10 inch CTO Carbon Cartridge Filter, consider the stage layout, the housing size and the water quality.
Construction Choice
CTO carbon block gives longer contact time; GAC granular carbon causes less pressure loss.
Housing Size
This cartridge is for standard 10 inch housings; 20 inch and jumbo housings take a different size.
Chlorine Level
On mains supplies with a high chlorine level, the carbon stage should be replaced more often.
Stage Layout
A sediment filter must sit ahead of it, and a softening stage for hardness must be planned separately.
07Maintenance and Use
Replacement Notes
Replaced on time, the 10 inch CTO Carbon Cartridge Filter keeps protecting the membrane.
- This cartridge is not washable; once the carbon surface is saturated it must be replaced with a new one.
- When a taste or smell of chlorine becomes noticeable in the water, it is time to replace it.
- After fitting the new cartridge, run off the first water produced a few times to rinse out carbon dust.
- An overdue carbon stage starts letting chlorine through, and that can damage the membrane permanently.
08Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
What does the 10 inch CTO Carbon Cartridge Filter do?
It removes chlorine, odour, off-taste and organic compounds from the water by adsorption. Because it holds back chlorine, it also protects the reverse osmosis membrane from chemical damage.
What does CTO stand for?
CTO stands for chlorine, taste and odour. This cartridge is made by compressing activated carbon into a block, and it works on those three fronts.
How does it differ from a GAC carbon filter?
GAC consists of a granular carbon fill; CTO is a pressed block. The block structure gives longer contact time and less carbon carry-over, while the granular structure restricts flow less. In most systems the two are used in sequence.
Does it remove limescale and sediment?
No. Carbon works by adsorption; it does not reduce hardness and does not remove dissolved salts. A sediment filter is needed for sand and silt, and a softening stage for hardness.
How often should it be replaced?
Replacement frequency depends on the chlorine level in the mains supply and on daily consumption. Noticing the taste or smell of chlorine is the most reliable indicator.
