Omnipure 10″ 1 Micron Carbon & Lead Removal

Description

High-Flow 10″ 1 Micron Carbon & Lead Reduction Water Filter

The Omnipure 10″ 1 Micron Carbon & Lead Removal Water Filter is a premium inline carbon block cartridge engineered to reduce a broad range of common contaminants — including chlorine taste & odor, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), cysts, and lead — while improving overall water quality, taste, and clarity. Using activated carbon block media with lead-specific adsorption properties, this filter delivers reliable performance in residential and light commercial water filtration systems.

Key Features

• 1 Micron nominal filtration captures fine particulate matter and improves water clarity.
• Lead reduction media designed to remove lead and other heavy metals alongside taste and odor contaminants.
• Activated carbon block technology — high surface area for efficient adsorption of chlorine, VOCs, taste/odor compounds, and more.
• Improves taste & odor of drinking water, beverages, and cooking water.
• Compatible with standard 10″ filter housings and with Omnipure Q-Series or K-Series filter heads (depending on model).
• NSF performance tested for chlorine/taste/odor and lead reduction (certification varies by specific cartridge model).

Typical Specifications

• Filter Length: 10″
• Micron Rating: 1 µ nominal (fine particulate reduction; improves clarity)
• Media: Carbon block with lead reduction additives
• Maximum Pressure: ~125 PSI (8.6 bar)
• Operating Temperature: ~35–100 °F (2–38 °C)
• Flow Rate: ~0.5 GPM (1.9 LPM) typical for 2.5″ dia cartridges
• Approx. Service Life: ~1 year or ~1,000–2,500 gallons (depending on water quality and usage)

Applications

This 10″ carbon & lead reduction filter is ideal for:

• Under-sink drinking water systems (pre- or post-RO)
• Reverse osmosis post-filtration to polish taste and further reduce contaminants
• Refrigerator/ice maker lines
• Beverage stations and coffee makers
• Point-of-use filtration in kitchens, offices, or cafes

Benefits

• Enhanced contaminant reduction: Removes chlorine, taste and odor, cysts, VOCs, and reduce lead — improving overall water quality.
• Protects equipment: Helps protect downstream devices (coffee makers, ice makers) from scale and taste issues.
• Easy maintenance: Simply replace the cartridge when service life is reached or flow slows noticeably.

Installation & Maintenance

• Flush before use: Run cold water through the new filter for several minutes to remove trapped air and loose carbon fines.
• Replace routinely: Replace the cartridge when flow drops significantly or capacity is reached — usually annually under typical household conditions.
• Use with proper head: Ensure the filter matches the filter head type (Omnipure Q, K, or E/L series) and connection fittings.
