Aries - AF-10-2210- 10" x 2.5" GAC with 0.5 lb. KDF-85 Cartridge Filter

The Aries AF-10-2210 combines 0.5 lb of KDF-85 media with granular activated carbon in a standard 10" x 2.5" cartridge, engineered for iron, hydrogen sulfide, and chlorine reduction in residential filtration systems. This dual-media approach extends filter life while addressing both heavy metals and taste and odor issues that single-media cartridges can't handle alone.

Aries AF-10-2210 Technical Details

Model Number AF-10-2210
Dimensions 10" x 2.5" (9.75" height x 3" diameter)
Media Type KDF-85 (0.5 lb) + Granular Activated Carbon
Primary Applications Iron, hydrogen sulfide, chlorine, taste and odor removal
Filter Life Approximately 5,000 gallons
Compatible Housings Standard 10" filter housings with 2.5" diameter capacity
Flow Direction Outside-in (radial flow)
Temperature Range 40°F - 100°F
INSTALLATION & USE

Installing Your AF-10-2210 Cartridge

  1. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure by opening a downstream faucet or using the housing's pressure release button.
  2. Unscrew the filter housing sump using a filter wrench, remove the old cartridge, and clean the housing interior and o-ring with water.
  3. Insert the Aries AF-10-2210 cartridge into the housing, ensuring it seats properly on the center standpipe.
  4. Replace the housing sump with a new lubricated o-ring if needed, hand-tighten firmly, then restore water pressure slowly and check for leaks.
  5. Flush the new cartridge for 3-5 minutes to clear carbon fines and activate the KDF media before normal use.
COMPATIBILITY

System Integration

The AF-10-2210 fits all standard 10-inch filter housings designed for 2.5" diameter cartridges, making it compatible with both point-of-entry whole-house systems and under-sink reverse osmosis pre-filtration stages. The KDF-85 media specifically targets iron and hydrogen sulfide, making this cartridge ideal for well water applications where these contaminants are present alongside chlorine or taste and odor issues. Use in RO systems as a specialty pre-filter, or in dedicated iron reduction housings as a standalone solution. Not recommended for municipal water with low iron levels, where standard GAC or KDF-55 cartridges are more efficient.

🔧 Pro Tip: KDF-85 works best in water with pH between 6.5 and 8.5. If you're treating well water with high iron, test your pH first and consider a neutralizing filter upstream if pH is below 6.5, or the KDF media won't oxidize iron effectively and you'll see premature fouling.
