Affordable 10 x 2.5 Carbon Filters

Finding the right 10-inch carbon filter cartridge for your system is easy with our cross-reference chart. Just find the part number on your current 2.5 x 10 carbon filter, then check the chart to find a compatible SpiroPure or OEM equivalent. You can also use the type of filter, size, and micron rating to find the right filter that fits your system. The cross-reference chart organizes the filters by different types, which include the following:

  • Carbon Block Series: Made with NSF-certified coconut shell PAC (Powdered Activated Carbon), 10 x 2.5 carbon block filters are ideal for applications like under-sink systems, coffee shops, and restaurants and come in 0.5 micron (SP-CBR2), 1 micron (SP-CBC), 5 micron (SP-EP), and 10 micron (SP-EPM).
  • CC1 Series (Catalytic Carbon): The 1 micron CC1 Series is highly effective at reducing chloramines, making these 10-inch carbon filters ideal for whole-house filtration systems, coffee shops, and laboratories.
  • GAC Series (Granular Activated Carbon): 20 micron GAC 2.5 x 10 carbon filters are highly effective at reducing chlorine and odor while maintaining good flow rates, making them suitable for under-sink and countertop systems.
  • RFC Series (Radial Flow Carbon): With a 25-micron design that offers maximum flow efficiency, RFC filters are used for various applications, including under-sink systems, aquariums, and pre-filtration for reverse osmosis (RO) systems.
  • C Series and NCP Series: C8 (1 micron), C1 (5 micron), and NCP (10 micron) filters are effective at blocking sediment and reducing chlorine, making them ideal for residential, commercial, and specialized uses like post-RO applications.

FAQs on 2.5 x 10 water filter

What micron rating should I choose for a carbon filter?

Choosing a micron rating for your 10x2.5 carbon filter comes down to the media type, application, water quality, desire flow, and other factors. Typically, a 1-10 micron carbon filter is adequate for carbon block filters, while a GAC or RFC filter is usually around 20-25 microns.
Carbon filters reduce unwanted contaminants through adsorption. Rather than manual filtration, chemicals adhere to the carbon fibers, making carbon great at reducing chlorine taste and odor, pesticides, herbicides, VOCs, and other unwanted chemicals. Carbon is not the best choice for reduction of sediment, heavy metals, minerals, and other TDS.
Replacement times for your 10x2.5 carbon filter depend upon water quality, usage, media type, and other factors. Generally you will want to replace your carbon filter every 6-12 months, or when you notice a change in taste and odor or a significant drop in water flow.
Most 10x2.5 carbon filters will fit in any 10” slim water filter housing. However, some filter housings require special end types, so you should make sure your housing is universal. Also be sure that your cartridge says it will fit in most 10” slim housings.
When a 10x2.5 carbon filter cartridge needs replacement, there will be signs. Recommendations say every 6-12 months, but you can also look for a decrease in water flow, change in taste and odor, or visible particles or turbidity in water.
