Solid Block Structure
The IPW Industries CTO-5 is a 20-inch coconut shell carbon block filter designed for whole-house and point-of-use applications where chlorine, taste, odor, and chemical removal matter. Unlike granular carbon that can channel or release fines, this solid block design provides consistent contact time and filtration performance down to 5 microns.
