IPW Industries Inc (CB-MPC6) 6"x 4.5"CB6 Carbon Filter 0.5 Micron
6" x 4.5" CB6 Carbon Block Filter — 0.5 Micron
High purity coconut shell carbon with superior chlorine reduction and dirt-holding capacity. The CB6 series delivers cost-effective performance for whole-home and point-of-use applications.
Coconut Shell Carbon Engineered for Performance
High Purity Coconut Shell
Manufactured from premium coconut shell carbon for superior adsorption and longer filter life compared to coal-based alternatives.
0.5 Micron Filtration
Fine particulate removal with submicron rating ensures clarity and protects downstream equipment from sediment damage.
High Chlorine Reduction
Effective removal of chlorine, taste, and odor compounds for better drinking water and extended membrane life in RO systems.
Low Carbon Fines
Reduced carbon dust means cleaner startup, less flushing required, and no black water discharge during filter changes.
Pack of 2 Filters
Convenient dual-pack ensures you have a backup filter on hand for seamless maintenance and uninterrupted water quality.

Understanding National Pipe Thread Measurements
A common misconception is that NPT sizes match ruler measurements. NPT designations are nominal and measure larger than their fractional name. For example, 1/4" NPT actually measures 0.540" on a ruler, not 0.25". Use this reference when measuring fittings:
| 1/8" NPT | 0.405" actual diameter |
| 1/4" NPT | 0.540" actual diameter |
| 3/8" NPT | 0.675" actual diameter |
| 1/2" NPT | 0.840" actual diameter |
Fits Multiple Systems
The IPW Industries CB-MPC6 carbon block filter is compatible with Fresca Pure 4000, 4500, 5000, and 6000 series systems. Also serves as a direct replacement for standard CB6 filters in housings designed for 4.5" x 6" cartridges with NPT connections.
Replacement Schedule
Standard Replacement
Replace CB6 carbon block filters every six months under typical municipal water conditions for optimal chlorine reduction and taste/odor control.
High-Use or Poor Water
If you notice reduced flow rate, taste changes, or serve a large household, replace filters more frequently to maintain performance.
Pressure Drop Indicator
Monitor system pressure. A significant drop indicates the carbon block is clogged with sediment and should be replaced regardless of time elapsed.
Premium Carbon Source
Coconut shell outperforms coal-based carbon in adsorption capacity and purity
Cost-Effective Value
Excellent performance-to-price ratio makes CB6 a smart choice for regular maintenance
Easy Installation
Standard NPT threading and dimensions ensure quick drop-in replacement
Great Dirt Capacity
High sediment load tolerance extends filter life even in challenging water conditions
