ELF 1M PFAS Carbon Block Filter
Extra-large format 1 micron carbon block engineered to reduce PFOA, PFOS, and other PFAS "forever chemicals" — plus chlorine, taste, odor, and cysts — in high-flow commercial and residential systems
The Omnipure ELF-1M-PF is an oversized carbon block cartridge built for environments where contaminant reduction and flow rate both matter. At 12.5 inches by 4 inches it delivers up to 1.67 GPM while reducing PFAS compounds such as PFOA and PFOS, along with chlorine, taste, odor, and cysts including Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
What This Filter Reduces
PFOA & PFOS
Targets the most common PFAS "forever chemicals" that have driven drinking-water health advisories nationwide.
Chlorine, Taste & Odor
Activated carbon block strips chlorine and the flavors and smells that come with it for noticeably cleaner water.
Cysts
Sub-micron filtration reduces chlorine-resistant cysts, including Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
Fine Sediment
The 1 micron block captures fine particulate for clearer water and protected downstream equipment.

About PFAS capacity: *The 15,000-gallon rating reflects general carbon capacity. PFAS reduction capacity depends on the concentration of PFAS in your source water, so we recommend testing your water and replacing the cartridge on schedule rather than waiting for flow to slow.
Best Applications
The ELF 1M PFAS is designed for commercial food service equipment, ice machines, beverage dispensers, water coolers, and high-volume point-of-use systems that use proprietary Omnipure ELF-series heads. The oversized format provides extended service intervals and higher flow rates compared to standard 10-inch cartridges. This filter is not compatible with standard 10" × 2.5" housings due to its unique 4-inch diameter and 12.5-inch length.
