It has the highest flow rate and longest online life before breakthrough. If you want fine cyst removal (Giardia and Cryptosporidium) on top of taste, odour, and chemical reduction, and you service regularly — choose the BPAC10. If you want the same performance as the BPAC10 but with a 12-month hygenic life — choose the SBPAC10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, measure the diameter of the cartridge you're replacing. Standard = 2.5\". Jumbo = 4.5\". These are not interchangeable — a Standard cartridge will not seat correctly in a Jumbo housing. This cartridge fits most 10\" Standard (2.5\") housings including Pentair, Puretec, Trevoli, and most other major brands. If you're unsure, get in touch before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I replace it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eACB10: replace when you can detect taste or odour returning to the water — capacity is 22,700 litres. BPAC10: replace at 6 months regardless of whether taste or odour has returned — hygenic life is the binding limit, not just capacity. SBPAC10: replace at 12 months — the silver impregnation extends the hygenic life. In all cases, replace sooner if taste or odour returns or if flow drops noticeably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the BPAC10 or SBPAC10 protect against bacteria?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silver impregnation in the SBPAC10 inhibits bacterial growth within the cartridge — it does not remove or inactivate bacteria already in the incoming water supply.

Choose 5 micron for a second-stage fine sediment filter, or for cleaner mains supplies. Choose 1 micron where cyst protection is required — Giardia and Cryptosporidium — or as the final filtration stage before UV disinfection. Lower micron ratings filter finer but clog faster, especially on dirty supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the 10\" and 20\" versions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth use the same polyester pleated media and carry the same certifications. The 20\" version is longer — it holds more filter media, which gives it a higher flow rate, higher dirt-holding capacity, and longer intervals between cleaning and replacement. Choose the 20\" for larger households, higher usage, or properties where the 10\" needs servicing too frequently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, measure the diameter of the cartridge you're replacing. Standard = 2.5\". Jumbo = 4.5\". These are not interchangeable — a Standard cartridge will not seat correctly in a Jumbo housing. This cartridge fits most 20\" Standard (2.5\") housings including Pentair, Puretec, Trevoli, and most other major brands. If you're unsure, get in touch before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I really clean and reuse this cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Rinse off accumulated sediment when flow drops, sterilise, and reinstall. Most cartridges can be cleaned multiple times before replacement is needed. The exception is 1 and 5 micron — these finer ratings may only clean once or twice. Replace when cleaning no longer restores adequate flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do the certifications mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaterMark WMTS-103 (Lic. 22987) means the cartridge has been independently tested and certified against Australian and New Zealand water industry standards. AS\/NZS 4020 means it has been tested and confirmed safe for use in contact with drinking water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this cartridge protect against bacteria?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The 1 micron rating removes cysts such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium, but does not remove or inactivate bacteria or viruses. UV disinfection is required for bacteria and virus protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does a pleated cartridge differ from a polyspun cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pleated cartridge has a folded polyester membrane with a large surface area — it filters on the surface, can be cleaned, and handles high flow rates. A polyspun cartridge is a wound fibre depth filter — particles are trapped throughout the matrix and it cannot be effectively cleaned. Pleated suits applications where cleanability and flow rate matter; polyspun suits finer filtration where single-use disposable performance is preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty applies?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilter cartridges are consumable items.

No special tools needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know when the carbon block needs replacing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clearest sign is chlorine taste or odour returning to your water — even if flow rate is still good. The carbon is consumed over time as it adsorbs compounds from your water. When it's exhausted, taste returns. Don't wait for pressure drop alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo all the cartridges need replacing at the same time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend replacing all cartridges at the same time so you're starting fresh across all stages.

High flow rates reduce the contact time between water and the activated alumina, which reduces fluoride removal efficiency. Keep flow below 1 litre per minute for best results.

This construction contains the carbon bed and substantially reduces fines in the filtered water while keeping pressure drop low — making it well suited to high-flow whole-house applications where consistent water quality matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFull specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFilter media\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGranular activated carbon (GAC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter shell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70-micron porous polyethylene\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpun polypropylene\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEndcaps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolypropylene\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGaskets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuna-N\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.50\" x 9.75\" (114mm x 248mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHousing compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJumbo (Big Blue) 10\" housings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInitial pressure drop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.06 bar (0.90 psi) @ 7.6 L\/min\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChlorine reduction capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026gt;189,270L @ 7.6 L\/min (manufacturer-stated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTemperature range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.4–51.7°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNSF certification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNSF\/ANSI 42 — material requirements only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRFC-BB (155141-43)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x Pentek RFC-BB radial flow carbon cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a radial flow carbon cartridge and how is it different from a carbon block?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA radial flow cartridge uses loose granular activated carbon packed between an outer shell and an inner core. Water flows radially inward through the carbon bed. Unlike a carbon block, the GAC design offers very low pressure drop and high flow capacity — better suited to main water line and whole-house applications where flow rate is more important than fine particulate filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the radial flow design reduce carbon fines?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RFC-BB's 70-micron porous polyethylene outer shell contains the carbon bed and acts as a barrier that substantially reduces the release of carbon fines into the filtered water — a common issue with standard loose GAC cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does NSF\/ANSI 42 certification mean for this cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NSF\/ANSI 42 certification on the RFC-BB covers material requirements only — it confirms the materials in contact with drinking water are safe.

CTO Plus is a 1 micron nominal carbon block that does all of this and also reduces VOCs. The CTO Plus 20\" Jumbo has an exceptionally high chlorine reduction capacity — over 912,000 litres at 26.6 L\/min. If you need VOC reduction or finer filtration, choose CTO Plus. For maximum-flow chlorine, PFAS, and chloramine reduction, CTO is the right choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does NSF\/ANSI 42 certification mean for these filters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the MATRIKX CTO and CTO Plus, NSF\/ANSI 42 certification — from both NSF International and WQA — covers material safety requirements only. It confirms the materials in contact with drinking water are safe. It does not certify the performance claims. Those figures are manufacturer-stated based on internal and independent laboratory testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is PFAS and does this filter reduce it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of synthetic chemicals found in some water supplies. The manufacturer states PFAS reduction capacity of \u0026gt;73,800 litres at 11.4 L\/min for the CTO and \u0026gt;79,400 litres at 11.4 L\/min for the CTO Plus, based on \u0026gt;95% reduction at 1500 ppt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it reduce chloramine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — both CTO and CTO Plus reduce chloramine. The manufacturer states \u0026gt;83% reduction at 3ppm, with stated capacities shown in the spec table above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose the 20\" Jumbo over the 10\" Jumbo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouble the length means roughly double the carbon media, which translates to significantly longer service life between replacements and higher capacity at any given flow rate. If you're running a high-demand whole-house system and want to minimise how often you change cartridges, the 20\" Jumbo is the better investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use these filters with tank or bore water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly if the water supply is microbiologically safe and adequately disinfected. These carbon blocks are not a disinfection device. If your tank or bore water is not disinfected, you need a UV system or other disinfection method upstream of or alongside this filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my existing housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 20\" Jumbo size fits industry-standard Jumbo (Big Blue) 20\" open sump housings with a 4.5\" internal diameter. If you're unsure about housing compatibility, check your housing dimensions before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often should I replace it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacement depends on water quality, flow rate, and usage. The 20\" Jumbo has the highest capacity in the range — service life between replacements will be substantially longer than smaller sizes. Replace when chlorine taste or odour returns, or when flow drops noticeably.

CTO Plus is a 1 micron nominal carbon block that does all of this and also reduces VOCs. The finer rating on CTO Plus means a slightly higher pressure drop and lower flow-based capacity per litre per minute. If you need VOC reduction or finer particulate filtration, choose CTO Plus. For general chlorine, taste and odour, PFAS, and chloramine reduction at good flow, CTO is the right choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does NSF\/ANSI 42 certification mean for these filters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the MATRIKX CTO and CTO Plus, NSF\/ANSI 42 certification — from both NSF International and WQA — covers material safety requirements only. It confirms the materials in contact with drinking water are safe. It does not certify the performance claims. Those figures are manufacturer-stated based on internal and independent laboratory testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is PFAS and does this filter reduce it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of synthetic chemicals found in some water supplies. The manufacturer states PFAS reduction capacity of \u0026gt;12,300 litres at 1.9 L\/min for the CTO and \u0026gt;13,200 litres at 1.9 L\/min for the CTO Plus, based on \u0026gt;95% reduction at 1500 ppt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it reduce chloramine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — both CTO and CTO Plus reduce chloramine. The manufacturer states \u0026gt;83% reduction at 3ppm, with stated capacities shown in the spec table above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use these filters with tank or bore water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly if the water supply is microbiologically safe and adequately disinfected. These carbon blocks are not a disinfection device. If your tank or bore water is not disinfected, you need a UV system or other disinfection method upstream of or alongside this filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my existing housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10\" standard size fits industry-standard 10\" open sump housings with a 2.75\" internal diameter.

CTO Plus is a 1 micron nominal carbon block that does all of this and also reduces VOCs. If you need VOC reduction or finer filtration, choose CTO Plus. For general chlorine, taste and odour, PFAS, and chloramine reduction at high flow, CTO is the right choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does NSF\/ANSI 42 certification mean for these filters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the MATRIKX CTO and CTO Plus, NSF\/ANSI 42 certification — from both NSF International and WQA — covers material safety requirements only. It confirms the materials in contact with drinking water are safe. It does not certify the performance claims. Those figures are manufacturer-stated based on internal and independent laboratory testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is PFAS and does this filter reduce it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of synthetic chemicals found in some water supplies. The manufacturer states PFAS reduction capacity of \u0026gt;36,900 litres at 5.6 L\/min for the CTO and \u0026gt;39,700 litres at 5.6 L\/min for the CTO Plus, based on \u0026gt;95% reduction at 1500 ppt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it reduce chloramine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — both CTO and CTO Plus reduce chloramine. The manufacturer states \u0026gt;83% reduction at 3ppm, with stated capacities shown in the spec table above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose the Jumbo 4.5\" size over the standard 2.75\" size?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe larger diameter means more carbon media, which delivers higher flow capacity, longer service life, and lower pressure drop for a given flow rate. The Jumbo size suits main water line filtration and whole-house systems where flow and capacity matter more than compact sizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use these filters with tank or bore water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly if the water supply is microbiologically safe and adequately disinfected. These carbon blocks are not a disinfection device. If your tank or bore water is not disinfected, you need a UV system or other disinfection method upstream of or alongside this filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my existing housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10\" Jumbo size fits industry-standard Jumbo (Big Blue) 10\" open sump housings with a 4.5\" internal diameter. If you're unsure about housing compatibility, check your housing dimensions before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often should I replace it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacement depends on water quality, flow rate, and usage. Use the capacity figures as a guide — when chlorine taste or odour returns, or when flow drops noticeably, replace the cartridge. Flush the cartridge after installation before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"background:#fff3cd;border:1px solid #ffc107;border-radius:8px;padding:16px;margin:20px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:700;color:#856404;\"\u003e⚠️ Disclaimer – Collective \/ Dropship Product\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:14px;color:#856404;\"\u003eThis product is supplied \u0026amp; shipped directly by the brand via Shopify Collective.

Choose 5 micron if you're on mains water, cysts are not a concern, and you prefer a longer service interval between replacements. Lower micron ratings filter finer but clog faster, especially on dirty supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich brand should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want a certified cartridge — particularly for drinking water supplies — choose Davey. Both the 1 and 5 micron Davey Microlene polyspun cartridges are certified to AS\/NZS 4020, the NZ and Australian standard for products used in contact with drinking water. If you're filtering for general household use on a tighter budget, Waimana delivers reliable fine sediment removal at a better price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich size should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch the cartridge size to your housing. If your housing takes a 10\" x 4.5\" cartridge, choose 10\" Jumbo. If it takes a 20\" x 4.5\" cartridge, choose 20\" Jumbo. Not sure? Measure the cartridge you're replacing — Jumbo is 4.5\" in diameter. If you're still unsure, get in touch and we'll help you identify the right fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cartridge fits most 10\" and 20\" Jumbo housings — including Davey, Pentair, Puretec, Trevoli, and most other major brands. The key measurement is diameter: Jumbo housings take a 4.5\" diameter cartridge. If your housing takes a 2.5\" diameter cartridge, you need the Standard size, not this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I clean and reuse this cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Polyspun is a depth filter — particles are trapped throughout the fibre matrix, not just on the surface. Once loaded, it cannot be effectively cleaned. Replace when flow drops noticeably, or at least every 6–12 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I need to replace it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery 6–12 months is the general guideline, but it depends on your water quality and sediment load. The 1 micron rating will load up faster than the 5 micron on the same supply. On heavily contaminated tank water, you may need to replace more frequently. Replace when flow drops noticeably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does AS\/NZS 4020 mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAS\/NZS 4020 is the Australian and New Zealand standard for products used in contact with drinking water. A product certified to this standard has been independently tested and confirmed safe for use in drinking water systems. The Davey Microlene cartridges carry this certification.

The Davey Microlene 20 micron pleated is certified to AS\/NZS 4020, which is the NZ and Australian standard for products used in contact with drinking water. If you're filtering for general household use on a tighter budget, Waimana delivers reliable sediment removal at a better price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich size should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch the cartridge size to your housing. If your housing takes a 10\" x 4.5\" cartridge, choose 10\" Jumbo. If it takes a 20\" x 4.5\" cartridge, choose 20\" Jumbo. Not sure? Measure the cartridge you're replacing — Jumbo is 4.5\" in diameter. If you're still unsure, get in touch and we'll help you identify the right fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cartridge fits most 10\" and 20\" Jumbo housings — including Davey, Pentair, Puretec, Trevoli, and most other major brands. The key measurement is diameter: Jumbo housings take a 4.5\" diameter cartridge. If your housing takes a 2.5\" diameter cartridge, you need the Standard size, not this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I really clean and reuse this cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The pleated design is cleanable — rinse or soak off the accumulated sediment when flow drops, sterilise, and reinstall. Most cartridges can be cleaned multiple times before replacement is needed. Replace at least annually regardless of condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I need to replace it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery 6–12 months is the general guideline, but it depends heavily on your water quality and sediment load. Tank water with high leaf or dirt contamination will load up a cartridge faster than clean mains water. Clean when flow drops noticeably — replace when cleaning no longer restores adequate flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does AS\/NZS 4020 mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAS\/NZS 4020 is the Australian and New Zealand standard for products used in contact with drinking water. A product certified to this standard has been independently tested and confirmed safe for use in drinking water systems. The Davey Microlene cartridge carries this certification. The Waimana cartridge does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this cartridge protect against bacteria or cysts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. At 20 microns this is a coarse sediment filter — it removes dirt, rust, sand, and leaf matter. For bacteria and virus protection, UV disinfection is required. For cyst protection (Giardia, Cryptosporidium), 1 micron filtration is required downstream of this stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty applies?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilter cartridges are consumable items.

The outer layer captures coarse sediment first, which protects the inner core from loading too quickly. The result is a longer service life compared to a single-density 1 micron cartridge of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a good pre-filter for a UV system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. UV systems require fine filtration upstream — particles in the water reduce UV penetration and treatment effectiveness. The DGD's 1 micron inner core meets that requirement, while the 25 micron outer layer extends the time between cartridge changes by absorbing the bulk sediment load before it reaches the fine inner core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my Big Blue housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, if your housing is a standard Jumbo (Big Blue) 10\" or 20\" size. Both models are 4.5\" in diameter — the Jumbo \/ Big Blue standard. Check your housing length before ordering — the 10\" and 20\" models are not interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I need to replace it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacement interval depends on your water quality and sediment load. The dual gradient construction extends service life compared to a standard single-density 1 micron cartridge. Replace when flow drops noticeably or the cartridge is visibly saturated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this on bore water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

More surface area means more capacity to hold sediment before the filter restricts flow — so it tends to last longer between cleanings on high-sediment supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I actually wash and reuse it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. When flow drops or the cartridge is visibly dirty, remove it from the housing, rinse it under a hose or tap, and refit. How many times you can do this depends on water quality — fine silts tend to embed in the pleats more than coarser sand. Replace the cartridge when rinsing no longer restores adequate flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich micron rating is right for my supply?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoarser ratings (20 or 50 micron) suit first stage pre-filtration on bore, river, or surface water with visible sediment. Finer ratings (1 or 5 micron) suit second stage or final stage filtration, or where you need to protect downstream equipment such as a UV lamp. If you run two housings in series, use the coarser rating in the first housing and the finer rating in the second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my Big Blue housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, if your housing is a standard Jumbo (Big Blue) 10\" or 20\" size. Both cartridge lengths are 4.5\" in diameter, which is the Jumbo \/ Big Blue standard. Check your housing length before ordering — 10\" and 20\" cartridges are not interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this on bore water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The polyester material handles bore water well. If your bore water has a high sediment load, the 20 or 50 micron rating is a good starting point for first stage filtration. Bore water quality varies — get in touch if you'd like help choosing the right setup for your supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"background:#fff3cd;border:1px solid #ffc107;border-radius:8px;padding:16px;margin:20px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:700;color:#856404;\"\u003e⚠️ Disclaimer – Collective \/ Dropship Product\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:14px;color:#856404;\"\u003eThis product is supplied \u0026amp; shipped directly by the brand via Shopify Collective.

Select that model from the first dropdown.

The difference is the filter brand. Davey filters are our premium, certified option — we're Davey Master Dealers. Waimana is our value cartridge — solid quality at a lower price point. The right choice depends on your priorities and budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need to replace the filters when the lamp beeps?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beep tells you the lamp has reached the end of its effective UV life. At that point, replacing the lamp alone leaves you with filters that may also be exhausted — sediment or carbon filters that are loaded up but not flagging a warning. Replacing everything together ensures the full system is fresh and performing correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the UV lamp actually do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UV lamp treats water flowing through the chamber against bacteria, viruses, and microbes without chemicals. After 12 months of operation the UV output drops below the level needed for effective treatment — even if the lamp is still visibly lit. That's why the system alerts you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the lamp fit my system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 46W RL6 compatible lamp fits the Puretec Hybrid G8, G9, G12, and G13. If you have a different Puretec model, get in touch and we'll confirm the correct replacement before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I replace just the lamp without the filters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can, but we don't recommend it. Filter cartridges typically need replacing on the same 12-month cycle as the lamp. Replacing the lamp without the filters leaves you with degraded filtration even though the UV treatment is restored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty applies?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12 months on the UV lamp. Filter cartridges are consumables and don't carry a standard product warranty.

The model number is usually printed on the UV chamber or system housing. If you're not sure, get in touch and we'll confirm the correct kit before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these genuine Davey parts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — all components are genuine Davey. These are the official Davey UV service kits, not compatible aftermarket replacements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between MC-SERVKIT-RN and MC-SERVKIT-MN?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth kits suit the same MC series systems. The RN kit is for rainwater and tank water supplies — it includes sediment filters to handle particulates common in tank water. The MN kit is for mains (town) water — it swaps the sediment-only configuration for a polyspun and carbon block combination that also addresses chlorine taste and odour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is a quartz sleeve included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quartz sleeve surrounds the UV lamp inside the chamber. Scale or deposits on the sleeve block UV light from reaching the water, reducing treatment effectiveness. The sleeve should be cleaned at each annual service and replaced if scratched or cloudy — replacing it annually as part of the full kit change is best practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need to replace the filters at the same time as the lamp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12-month lamp replacement interval aligns with the filter service interval. Replacing everything together ensures the full system is restored — a new lamp with exhausted filters still delivers degraded water quality overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I service the system myself?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor filter changes, yes — Davey UV systems use standard jumbo housings with a housing spanner. UV lamp and quartz sleeve replacement requires care — always turn off power before servicing and follow the instructions in your system manual. If you're unsure, a plumber or service technician can complete the annual service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty applies?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUV lamps, quartz sleeves, and filter cartridges are consumables and don't carry a standard product warranty.

More surface area means more dirt-holding capacity before flow restriction — and a lower pressure drop as the filter loads, which helps maintain water pressure through the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I wash and reuse it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. When flow drops or the cartridge is visibly dirty, remove it from the housing, rinse under a hose or tap, and refit. The number of wash cycles depends on water quality — fine silts embed more readily than coarser sand. Replace the cartridge when rinsing no longer restores adequate flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the 1 micron rating use a different material?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1 micron rating uses polypropylene media, which holds its shape and filtration performance at very fine ratings. The 5, 20, and 50 micron ratings use polyester, which is well suited to medium and coarse sediment removal and handles repeated washing well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich micron rating is right for my supply?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoarser ratings (20 or 50 micron) suit first stage pre-filtration where sediment load is visible. Finer ratings (1 or 5 micron) suit second stage or final stage filtration, or where you need to protect downstream equipment such as a UV lamp. If you run two housings in series, use the coarser rating in the first housing and the finer rating in the second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my existing housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, if your housing is a standard 10\" x 2.5\" or 20\" x 2.5\" size.

Activated carbon works through adsorption — compounds bond to the carbon surface and are removed from the water as it passes through. The 5 micron rating also catches fine sediment as a secondary function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is a carbon block different from a sediment filter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSediment filters physically trap particles. Carbon blocks do that too, but their primary function is chemical — removing taste and odour compounds through adsorption. If your water smells or tastes of chlorine, a carbon block is what addresses it. A sediment filter alone won't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I need to replace it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend replacing every 6–12 months depending on your water quality and usage. The clearest signal for a carbon block is taste and odour returning — not just a pressure drop. If your water starts tasting or smelling of chlorine again, it's time to replace the cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I clean and reuse this cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Carbon block cartridges are not reusable. The activated carbon is consumed as it adsorbs compounds from your water — rinsing won't restore it. Replace when taste returns or flow drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt fits most 10 inch jumbo housings — these take a cartridge that's 10 inches long and 4.5 inches in diameter. If you're not sure whether your housing is a 10 inch jumbo or a 10 inch standard (which takes a narrower 2.5 inch cartridge), measure the inside diameter of your housing before ordering.

The fibres are denser toward the centre and looser toward the outside, which allows the cartridge to capture particles throughout its depth rather than just on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich micron rating is right for my supply?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoarser ratings (20 or 50 micron) suit first stage pre-filtration where sediment is visible — bore, river, or tank water. The 10 micron is a useful middle-ground for moderate fine sediment. Finer ratings (1 or 5 micron) suit second stage or final stage filtration, or where you need to protect downstream equipment such as a UV lamp. If you run two housings in series, use the coarser rating in the first housing and the finer in the second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it affect the taste of my water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The 100% polypropylene construction will not impart any taste, odour, or colour to the water passing through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my Big Blue housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, if your housing is a standard Jumbo (Big Blue) 10\" or 20\" size. Both cartridge lengths are 4.5\" diameter — the Jumbo \/ Big Blue standard. Check your housing length before ordering — 10\" and 20\" cartridges are not interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this on bore water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The polypropylene material has good chemical resistance and suits bore water well. Choose a coarser rating (20 or 50 micron) for first stage pre-filtration if sediment load is high. Bore water quality varies — get in touch if you'd like help choosing the right setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I need to replace it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacement interval depends on your water quality and sediment load. Replace when flow drops noticeably or the cartridge is visibly saturated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"background:#fff3cd;border:1px solid #ffc107;border-radius:8px;padding:16px;margin:20px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:700;color:#856404;\"\u003e⚠️ Disclaimer – Collective \/ Dropship Product\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:14px;color:#856404;\"\u003eThis product is supplied \u0026amp; shipped directly by the brand via Shopify Collective.
