20 inch Jumbo 1 Micron CTO Filter

20 inch Jumbo 1 Micron CTO Filter
20" Jumbo Carbon Block (CTO) Filter Cartridge

Fine Filtration & Final Water Polishing

The Pure Blue Filtration CTO (Carbon Block) Filter Cartridge is designed to provide advanced filtration by reducing chlorine, unpleasant tastes, odours, sediment, and fine particles from your water supply.

Manufactured using compressed activated carbon, CTO filters offer finer filtration than standard GAC cartridges while maintaining excellent flow rates for residential and whole-house water treatment systems.

Commonly installed after a sediment filter and GAC filter, the CTO cartridge acts as the final polishing stage before water reaches your taps or UV sterilisation system.

Benefits

Improves drinking water taste and clarity

Reduces chlorine commonly found in town water supplies

Helps remove unwanted odours

Captures fine sediment missed by earlier filtration stages

Protects UV systems by improving water quality before treatment

Provides final water polishing for cleaner, fresher water

Suitable for both residential and rural water systems

How It Works

A CTO (Carbon Block) filter is made from finely compressed activated carbon that forms a dense filtration block. As water passes through the carbon block, contaminants are trapped within the filter while chlorine, tastes, odours, and organic compounds are adsorbed onto the carbon surface.

The compressed design allows the cartridge to provide both chemical reduction and fine particle filtration in a single stage, making it an excellent final filter before UV sterilisation or household use.

Typical Applications

Whole-house water filtration systems
Rainwater treatment systems
Mains water filtration
Rural and lifestyle properties
Chlorine reduction
Taste and odour improvement
Final filtration before UV sterilisation
Drinking water improvement

Recommended Filtration Sequence

Stage 1 – Sediment Filter

Removes sand, dirt, rust, silt, and suspended particles.

Stage 2 – GAC Carbon Filter

Reduces chlorine, tastes, odours, and organic contaminants.

Stage 3 – CTO Carbon Block Filter

Provides fine filtration and final water polishing.

Stage 4 – UV Sterilisation (Optional)

Helps neutralise bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms.

Why Choose a CTO Filter?

A CTO filter combines the benefits of activated carbon with fine particle filtration, making it one of the most effective cartridges for improving water quality. It serves as the final polishing stage in many filtration systems, helping deliver cleaner, clearer, and better-tasting water throughout your home.
