These filters are used in cold water supply applications for removing sediment, or foul tastes and odors. Sediment filters remove rust, sand silt, algae, and other foreign particles. Taste and odor filters use a 2-stage cartidge: the outer layer traps dirt, rust particles and other sediment, while the activated charcoal core removes objectionable tastes and odors. A maximum flow rate of 180 gallons per hour is plenty for a single faucet installation. In domestic installations, these filters are generally supported by the hard piping; an optional bracket is available. Adapter fittings are supplied by the user.
