Instapure R5 Replacement Activated Carbon Filter

Instapure R5 is a replacement solid activated carbon filter (Carbon Block). The filtration density is 2μm and the replacement frequency is every 2-3 months or per 760 litres of water. It is ideal for the removal of suspended solids (soil, garbage rust). It also effectively filters chlorine, toxins, pesticides and removes bad taste and smell. It is suitable for all Instapure on-tap filters.

Removes:

• The unpleasant taste and odor
• 97% chlorine
• 100% of solid particles (dirt, garbage, rust, sediment)
• Pesticides and toxins
• Heavy metals (lead & cadmium)
• Microbiological cysts

What are microns (μm)?

Micron-micrometers are a unit of measurement of length equal to a hundredth of a metre. It is also called a micron. Its international symbols are μm and m. In Greek it is also rendered as millionth of a millimetre or millimetre. 1 μm = 1 m = 1/1000 mm = 10-6 m

It is often used to measure activated carbon filters. The smaller the size in microns, the better the filtration.

So choosing a filter with 5 microns is a better choice than one with 20 microns.
