Aries AF-10-4080 Premium Blend Heavy Metals Filter
9.75"x3" specialty cartridge engineered to reduce heavy metals and chlorine with MBD-80 blend media technology
Premium Blend Technology for Targeted Contaminant Removal
MBD-80 Blend Media
Proprietary media formulation combines catalytic carbon with heavy metal reduction substrates for multi-contaminant performance in a single cartridge
Heavy Metal Reduction
Targets lead, mercury, cadmium, and other dissolved metals through adsorption and ion exchange mechanisms without sacrificing flow rate
CTO Carbon Block
Chlorine, taste, and odor removal through compressed block structure that also provides sub-micron filtration for sediment and particulates
3" Diameter Housing
Oversized 3-inch cartridge body increases media contact time and capacity compared to standard 2.5" filters for extended service life
Standard 10-Inch Housings with 3" Body Clearance
The Aries AF-10-4080 fits any standard 10-inch filter housing with internal clearance for 3-inch diameter cartridges. Verify your housing can accommodate the larger body before ordering. Compatible with Aries, Pentek, Hydronix, and other manufacturers' big blue style housings rated for 9.75" x 3" cartridges. Not compatible with slim-line 2.5" housings.
Replacement Schedule
Municipal Water
Replace every 6 months or when flow rate noticeably decreases, whichever comes first
High Contaminant Load
Homes with elevated heavy metals or high sediment should replace more frequently based on water testing
Flow Rate Indicator
Significant pressure drop or flow reduction indicates media saturation and replacement is needed regardless of time elapsed
Specialty Media
MBD-80 formulation for targeted heavy metal reduction
Dual Action
Chemical reduction plus mechanical filtration in one cartridge
High Capacity
3-inch body increases media volume and service life
