LR-FB20BB – Fibredyne™ activated carbon block for lead and cyst reduction
The LR-FB20BB filter cartridge was designed to ensure maximum safety for your household water supply. It specifically targets the reduction of lead and microbiological cysts. By using the patented Fibredyne™ technology, this carbon block filter achieves an extremely fine filtration rating of 0.5 microns. This enables a certified reduction of lead of up to 99% as well as the removal of parasitic cysts such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia. At the same time, the technology ensures minimal pressure drop, allowing a consistent flow rate throughout the entire house even under high water demand.
