Aries Radial Flow cartridges are designed to effectively reduce chlorine and improve taste and odor for low pressure, point-of-entry and other high flow residential and commercial applications. Unlike axial flow cartridges that generate extreme levels of head pressure causing system failures, the radial flow will generate lower pressure drop under high flow conditions. Radial flow cartridges allow water to flow from outside into core and are designed with a porous, polypropylene 90 micron outer shell and a 25 micron inner spiral wound core. They are filled with a high-capacity powdered activated carbon (GAC) which has been pH stabilized with and acid wash rinse. The end caps of the Aries cartridge incorporate a special scalloped design to insure optimum flow distribution. All components are made of FDA approved materials for drinking water applications. Sized to fit standard Slim and BB housings.
