AquaCera - W9522550 - 10" x 2" Compatible Imperial UltraCarb OBE CF108W Sterasyl Ceramic Carbon Block Shell; Lead Reduction

The AquaCera W9522550 combines Doulton's proven Sterasyl ceramic outer shell with a carbon block core and lead-reducing ATS resin to deliver comprehensive filtration in a 10" x 2" cartridge. This compatible Imperial UltraCarb OBE CF108W element removes over 99.99% of pathogenic bacteria, cysts, and sediment down to 0.9 micron absolute while reducing lead by more than 98.3% to NSF 53 standards.

INSTALLATION & USE

Pressure System Installation

  1. Shut off water supply and depressurize the filter housing completely before opening. Remove existing cartridge if replacing.
  2. Inspect the W9522550 cartridge for any shipping damage. Insert into a standard 10-inch filter housing, ensuring proper seating on the center post and O-ring seal.
  3. Hand-tighten the housing sump, restore water pressure slowly, and check for leaks. Flush the system for 3-5 minutes to clear carbon fines and activate the media.
  4. Monitor flow rate and water quality over time. Replace cartridge when flow diminishes significantly or every 6-12 months depending on source water quality and usage volume.
COMPATIBILITY

System Requirements & Applications

The AquaCera W9522550 is designed exclusively for pressurized filter systems and is not suitable for gravity filtration. This cartridge fits any standard 10-inch housing with 2-inch diameter capacity, making it compatible with whole-house pre-filtration systems, under-sink housings, and point-of-use applications. It serves as a direct replacement for Doulton W9223002, Imperial UltraCarb OBE, and CF108W Sterasyl cartridges. The ceramic-carbon hybrid construction is particularly effective in municipal water systems where lead pipe contamination is a concern, as well as in well water applications requiring pathogen and sediment removal. Doulton USA manufactures this element to maintain compatibility with existing Imperial and Sterasyl installations while delivering the full performance benefits of the UltraCarb formula.

🔧 If your water system still has old lead piping or solder joints, the zeolite ATS resin in this cartridge works best when water contact time is maximized—consider slightly reducing flow rate or installing a small pressure tank upstream to allow the ion exchange medium adequate dwell time for optimal lead removal.
