Aries 10″ KDF-85/GAC Filter (AF-10-2211)

Description

The Aries 10" KDF-85/GAC Filter (AF-10-2211) is a high-performance combination filter cartridge designed to improve water quality by reducing chlorine, unpleasant taste and odor, and supporting the reduction of hydrogen sulfide and certain heavy metals. By blending KDF-85 redox media with premium coconut shell granular activated carbon (GAC), this filter delivers enhanced chemical removal while helping inhibit bacterial growth within the media.

Ideal for residential and light commercial use, this cartridge fits standard 10" slimline housings and is commonly used as a pre-filter for drinking water systems or whole-home filtration setups.

Key Features

• Dual-Media Filtration Technology – Combines KDF-85 redox media and granular activated carbon for enhanced contaminant reduction.
• Chlorine, Taste & Odor Reduction – Improves drinking water quality by removing chlorine and organic compounds.
• Hydrogen Sulfide Support – Helps reduce sulfur (“rotten egg”) odor in water applications where present.
• Bacteriostatic Media – KDF-85 inhibits bacterial growth within the filter, extending carbon effectiveness.
• Standard 10" Cartridge Size – Fits most 10" slimline filter housings for easy replacement.
• Made in the USA – Manufactured to strict quality standards for reliable performance.
