Aries (AF-20-2011) 20"x2.5" (1 Lb) KDF-55-GAC Filter
20"x2.5" KDF-55-GAC Specialty Filter
The Aries AF-20-2011 uses a two-part media strategy: KDF-55 granules target inorganics, heavy metals, and chlorine through redox reactions, while granular activated carbon handles organic contaminants, taste, and odor compounds. This division of labor extends filter life up to five times longer than carbon-only cartridges and provides bacteriostatic protection even in hot water systems.
Dual-Media Filtration Process
Mechanical Filtration
10 micron nominal filtration removes particulate matter, sediment, and suspended solids before they reach the reactive media stages.
Redox & Heavy Metals
Copper-zinc granules remove chlorine, lead, mercury, arsenic, and copper through oxidation-reduction. KDF media also controls scale, bacteria, and algae growth through electrochemical processes that damage microbial cell walls.
Organic Adsorption
Coconut shell granular activated carbon adsorbs VOCs, THMs, taste and odor compounds, and organic contaminants without the burden of chlorine or heavy metal removal.
Service life: 6-12 months depending on water qualityTechnical Details
| Model Number | AF-20-2011 |
| Dimensions | 20" x 2.5" |
| Micron Rating | 10 Nominal |
| Filter Media | 1 Lb KDF-55 + Granular Activated Carbon |
| Max Flow Rate | 1 GPM |
| Operating Temperature | 40°F to 100°F |
| Application | Whole house, well water, specialty filtration |
Fits Standard 20" Housings
The Aries AF-20-2011 fits any standard 20-inch filter housing with 2.5-inch inner diameter. Ideal for whole house systems, well water treatment, and point-of-entry applications where heavy metal reduction and extended carbon life are priorities. The KDF-55 formulation is designed for municipal and private water sources with pH between 6.5 and 8.5. Maximum recommended flow rate of 1 GPM ensures adequate contact time for redox reactions and adsorption.
