Aries - AF-10-2013 - 10" x 2.5" GAC with 3 lb. KDF-55 Cartridge Filter
AF-10-2013 10" x 2.5" GAC with 3 lb. KDF-55 Cartridge
The Aries AF-10-2013 combines 3 pounds of KDF-55 with granular activated carbon in a standard 10" x 2.5" format, delivering both chemical reduction and heavy metal removal in a single cartridge. This dual-media design significantly extends filter life compared to carbon-only cartridges while addressing chlorine, chloramines, taste, odor, and dissolved metals including lead, mercury, copper, and aluminum.
What Makes This Cartridge Different
3 lb. KDF-55 Loading
High-purity copper-zinc media catalyzes redox reactions to neutralize chlorine and chloramines while removing heavy metals through electrochemical exchange
Synergistic GAC Blend
Granular activated carbon works alongside KDF to adsorb organic compounds, taste, and odor while the KDF prevents bacterial growth on carbon surfaces
Heavy Metal Reduction
Effectively removes lead, mercury, copper, nickel, chromium, and aluminum through both adsorption and redox reactions in the KDF media bed
Extended Service Life
Rated for approximately 30,000 gallons—KDF protects carbon from fouling and bacterial colonization, dramatically increasing time between changeouts
Standard 10" x 2.5" Size
Fits all standard 10-inch filter housings with 2.5-inch diameter capacity—universal compatibility for RO systems and whole-house applications
Broad Temperature Range
KDF media remains effective across a wide temperature spectrum, maintaining performance in cold well water and warm municipal supply conditions
Where This Filter Works
The Aries AF-10-2013 fits any standard 10-inch filter housing designed for 2.5-inch diameter cartridges. Common applications include pre-filtration for reverse osmosis systems, whole-house point-of-entry installations, commercial equipment protection, and specialized treatment where both chlorine removal and heavy metal reduction are required. Ideal for municipal water with chloramine treatment or well water with elevated metal content. Compatible with Aries, Pentek, Culligan, GE, Watts, and other brands using standard 10" x 2.5" cartridge dimensions.
Aries Filter Works manufactures specialty filtration media in the USA with a focus on KDF and carbon hybrid technologies for demanding water treatment applications.
