Aries (AF-10-9010) 9.75"x3" Coconut Shell GAC Filter 20x50 Mesh
AF-10-9010 Coconut Shell GAC Filter
The Aries AF-10-9010 uses coconut shell granular activated carbon in a 20×50 mesh size for effective chlorine and organic compound reduction. At 9.75 inches by 3 inches, this filter fits standard 10-inch housings and works in both reverse osmosis pre-filtration and whole-house applications where GAC contact time and flow rate matter.
What sets this GAC filter apart
Coconut shell carbon
Higher micropore density than coal-based carbons, meaning better adsorption of chlorine, VOCs, and taste/odor compounds
20×50 mesh size
Balanced granule size for good contact time without excessive pressure drop in standard flow systems
Standard 10" sizing
Fits any 10-inch filter housing with 3-inch diameter, making replacement straightforward across brands
Multi-application use
Works as RO pre-filter to protect membranes or in whole-house setups for point-of-entry treatment
Loose GAC design
Granular media allows for higher flow rates compared to carbon block filters while maintaining contact
Aries quality
Manufactured by Aries Filter Works with consistent media density and proper end cap sealing
Where the AF-10-9010 fits
This filter works in any standard 10-inch housing with 3-inch inner diameter. Common applications include reverse osmosis system pre-filtration, whole-house carbon stages, and specialty treatment for chlorine or organic taste and odor issues. Compatible with housings from Pentek, Hydronix, Culligan, and other manufacturers using 10"×2.5" to 10"×4.5" cartridge specs. Replace every 6-12 months depending on water quality and flow volume.
