Core Filter Specs
Filter Characteristics
| Manufacturer | Aries Filter Works |
| Model Number | AF-10-3005-BB |
| Filter Dimensions | 10 inches (height) × 4.5 inches (diameter) |
| Filtration Media | Strong cation ion exchange resin and specialty absorbent media |
| Contaminant Reduction | Iron, lead, trace heavy metals |
| Housing Compatibility | All standard 10-inch Big Blue housings (3G, Pentek, Hydronix, etc.) |
| Recommended Use | Whole-house, point-of-entry, well water treatment, municipal water conditioning |
Where This Filter Works
The AF-10-3005-BB cartridge is compatible with any standard 10-inch Big Blue filter housing, including models from Pentek, Hydronix, Watts, iSpring, and other manufacturers using the 10"x4.5" format. This filter is particularly well-suited for whole-house iron and lead reduction in well water systems, older homes with lead service lines, or municipal water with elevated iron levels. The strong cation resin media effectively exchanges calcium and magnesium ions while adsorbing dissolved iron and lead, making it a functional "softener" for targeted heavy metal removal. Best used as a specialty stage in multi-stage filtration systems or as a standalone solution for iron staining and lead contamination. Not a substitute for certified lead-removal systems where lead levels exceed EPA action limits.
