⭐ Key Features

•CARBON IMPREGNATED CELLULOSE, A DUAL PURPOSE CARTRIDGE – This is not a carbon block and not a plain sediment filter. Powdered activated carbon is impregnated into a pleated cellulose medium, so one cartridge captures fine dirt, rust and scale while the carbon reduces chlorine taste and odor. It measures 4.88 by 2.64 inches, which is roughly half the length of a standard 10 inch cartridge.

•BETTER-TASTING WATER ON A CHLORINATED SUPPLY – On municipal water the carbon reduces the chlorine taste and odor that make water unpleasant to drink and cook with, while the cellulose medium captures fine dirt, rust and scale. Cellulose media is not recommended for well water or other untreated supplies. For certified reduction of specific contaminants, look for cartridges tested to NSF/ANSI 53 for those claims.

•CHECK THE LENGTH BEFORE YOU ORDER – This is the 5 inch nominal size, actual 4.88 by 2.64 inches, not a standard 10 inch cartridge. It replaces C2 and 155022-43, and W5CIP478 and 155022-52. The 10 inch version of this same media is C1, sold as 155002-43, and it will not seat in a housing built for the shorter cartridge. Measure the one you are pulling out rather than ordering on the part number alone.

•MATCH THE FILTER TO YOUR WATER – Cartridges are maintenance parts, not water treatment plans, and no single one handles everything. Carbon reduces chlorine taste and odor. Sediment media captures sand, silt, dirt and rust. For any specific contaminant you are concerned about, look for a system certified to the NSF/ANSI standard that names it. If you are on a private well, start with a water test.

📋 Product Description

CFS CARBON IMPREGNATED CELLULOSE CARTRIDGE — 5 X 2.5 INCH, 2 PACK A direct replacement for C2 and W5CIP478, in the half length size. Actual dimensions are 4.88 by 2.64 inches. CHECK THE LENGTH FIRST This is not a standard 10 inch cartridge. At just under 5 inches it is roughly half the length of the slim line cartridges most systems use, and it will not seat in a 10 inch housing any more than a 10 inch cartridge would seat in this one. The 10 inch version of the same media is C1, part 155002-43. If you are not certain which you have, measure the cartridge you are pulling out rather than ordering on the part number alone. ONE CARTRIDGE, TWO JOBS Powdered activated carbon is impregnated into a pleated cellulose medium, which makes this a dual purpose cartridge rather than a plain carbon or a plain sediment filter. The cellulose captures fine dirt, rust and scale. The carbon reduces the chlorine taste and odor that make water unpleasant to drink and cook with. One cartridge in one position doing both. A NOTE ON WELL WATER Cellulose media is not recommended for well water or other untreated supplies. It is an organic medium and it does not hold up the way a synthetic block does on water that has not been chlorinated. If you are on a well, a carbon block or a spun polypropylene cartridge is the better choice for that position. WHAT IT REPLACES C2 and 155022-43, and W5CIP478 and 155022-52. WHEN TO CHANGE IT About every three to six months on typical municipal water, sooner on a busy line or where the incoming water carries visible sediment. The usual sign is flow dropping at the tap. Compatible replacement cartridge. Part numbers are for reference only.
