The Best Ceramic Filter In the World- Ceramic Extruded Carbon Block
The µall-carbon” CERAMIKX® filter combines the fine particulate reduction of a traditional ceramic filter with the chlorine, taste and odor reduction of activated carbon. With 99.9996% reduction of E. coli, the 0.2 µm CERAMIKX® filter meets NSF Standard 53 criteria for particulate removal and turbidity reduction, and the control of cysts, including Cryptosporidium and Giardia. CERAMIKX® filters also meet NSF Standard 42 for chlorine @ 95% reduction of free chlorine for up to >2,000 gallons.

This filter has 2.50” O.D. with standard end caps designed to fit most standard 10” housings. These filters can easily be cleaned with µjust the wipe of a sponge.”


CERAMIKX® filters are finished with polypropylene end caps designed to accommodate most standard housings.


CERAMIKX® filters are manufactured using MATRIKX® extruded activated carbon particles fused into a uniform block with enhanced adsorptive capacity and efficiency. CERAMIKX® filters flow in a radial (outside-to-inside) direction, providing increased dirt capacity and low pressure drop. Unlike granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, CERAMIKX® cartridges will not channel or bypass, due to the extreme uniformity of their extruded activated carbon core.

  • No channeling
  • No fluidizing
  • No bypassing
  • Eliminates release of carbon fines
  • Lowest extractables, pure materials of construction
  • Maximum service life and resistance to fouling
  • Fully cleanable
  • Manufactured using FDA-compliant materials


Chlorine capacity is the estimated capacity in gallons during which the filter will remove > 95% of influent free available chlorine (2 ppm) when operated at a given flow and has been tested using the NSF Standard 42 protocol for chlorine reduction.

Nominal particulate rating (0.2µm) is for >85% of a given size as determined from single-pass particle counting results.*

Absolute particulate rating (0.5µm ) is for >99.9% of particles of a given size as determined from single-pass particle counting results.**

*Nominal Filter Rating: Filter rating indicating the approximate size particle, the majority of which will not pass through the filter. It is generally interpreted as meaning that 85% of the particles of the size equal to the nominal micron rating will be retained by the filter. (WQA Glossary of Terms, Third Edition, 3-97).

**Absolute Filter Rating: Filter rating meaning that 99.9% (or essentially all) of the particles larger than a specific micron rating will be trapped on or within the filter. (WQA Glossary of Terms, Third Edition, 3-97)

The CERAMIKX® filter has been tested to meet the material requirements of NSF Standard 42.

The CERAMIKX filter has been tested to meet the performance requirements of NSF Standard 42 for Class 1 Chlorine Reduction and Standard 53 for Class 1 Turbidity and Cyst Reduction.

MATRIKX® filters are not to be autoclaved or steam sterilized.

Use MATRIKX® carbon filters only with microbiologically safe and adequately disenfected water. Activated carbon filters are not designed to kill or remove viruses.

Actual results obtained will vary with various combinations of organic contaminants, changes in pH or other conditions encountered in actual use.

All information presented here is based on data believed to be reliable. It is offered for evaluation and verification, but is not to be considered a warranty of any kind.

MATRIKX® filters are designed to fit most standard household and commercial or industrial housings.

This cartridge must be placed in an appropriate housing and flushed for a minimum of 5 minutes prior to use. Use only with microbiologically safe and adequately disinfected water.
