The SED5MMFKI-K2 5 micron filter uses Conventional Core, Micro-Fiber Technology encapsulated inside of a Proprietary Plastic Housing to remove Dirt, Rocks, Sand, Sticks, Bugs and other larger debris from untreated water. This 5 micron filter is manufactured by thermally fusing thousands of small polypropylene micro fibers together. Smaller particles, Bacteria, and super fine debris such as Silt and Clay pass through this filter because of the inefficient design and larger micron rating. This filter is better suited for Bath, Kitchen, Bar, or Island Sink Faucets and Shower Heads where larger debris plugs the faucet screen, as Pre-Filter for a multistage Reverse Osmosis system, or as a Pre-filter for Spas, Tubs, Tanks, Drums, etc. The Proprietary design restricts the consumer to only one choice of filter cartridge selection and one distribution entity when replacing expired or exhausted filters, which typically imposes a higher retail price and compromise in quality and performance.

Recommended Service Interval on Most Water Supplies: 3 - 6 Months

SED5MMFKI-K2 - Substitute Sediment Pre-Filter for Kinetico Part # 9309, 9310

This 5 micron filter is designed to offer the consumer 2 stages of filtration in a single, compact, cartridge element, using Conventional Core, Carbon Impregnated Micro-Fiber Technology encapsulated inside of a Proprietary Plastic Housing to reduce or remove Sediments, Sand, Rocks, Chlorine, Hydro-Carbon Gases, and other large debris from untreated water. Minimal amounts of Small Bituminous Carbon granules are crushed into a powder and impregnated into thousands of small micro fibers that are thermally fused and bonded together around a plastic center core to form a Modified Carbon Block cartridge. This filter DOES NOT offer Graduated Depth Filtration, resulting in less filter material volume weight per square inch due to the inefficiency of cartridge design which allows the cartridge to become easily saturated and fouled under excessive Sediment input, and requires more frequent service intervals and cartridge replacement. The Bituminous Carbon is mined from the Earth and does not possess the smaller cell site structure of Coconut Shell Carbon, so Bituminous Carbon IS NOT capable of reducing or removing VOC’s (Volatile Organic Chemicals), Ammonia, Chloramines, or other priority level Hydro-Carbon Gas contaminants that a 1/2 micron Modified Carbon Block filter is capable of reducing or removing. Due to the inefficiency of this cartridge design, limited volume of filter material, and larger 10 micron rating, this filter does not allow for removal of any Silt, Clay, Fine Sediments, Cysts or Bacteria that a standard size 1/2 micron Modified Carbon Block is capable of reducing or removing. This filter would normally be used as a Pre-filter to reduce or remove Sediment and Chlorine from the incoming water when combined with other pre-filters in a Multi-stage Reverse Osmosis system, or as a stand alone filter at a single dispensing faucet. However, the consumer must realize that the Silt, Clay, Fine Sediments, Cysts, Bacteria, other debris, and eventually Chlorine Gases will pass through this filter when used in a Reverse Osmosis system, which leads to Fouling, and Damage of the Membrane Filter, requiring frequent service intervals and cartridge replacement. The Proprietary design restricts the consumer to only one choice of filter cartridge selection and one distribution entity when replacing expired or exhausted filters, which typically imposes a higher retail price and compromise in quality and performance.

DPF5MIMFKI-K2 - Substitute Sediment/Carbon Pre-Filter for Kinetico Part # 9309, 9310, 9461A

The MEM24TFCKI-K2 .001 micron Membrane filter uses a Thin Film Composite Cellular Skin encapsulated inside of a Proprietary Plastic Housing to separate and remove Dissolved Solids, Salts, Minerals, Heavy Metals, Organic Matter, Pyroxene’s, Sub-micron Colloidal matter, Cysts, Bacteria, and other contaminants from untreated water. Water containing Dissolved Minerals and other Contaminants is forced under high pressure through a Semi-Permeable, Spiral Wound, Thin Film Composite Cellular Skin layered in several wrappings, to separate and rinse away the dissolved solids to a sewage drain, leaving only the Pure, H20 water molecules for consumption, production, processing, or manufacturing. The TFC Membrane can be used on Municipal or Well Water with proper pre-filtration. The Proprietary design restricts the consumer to only one choice of filter cartridge selection and one distribution entity when replacing expired or exhausted membranes, which typically imposes a higher retail price by forcing the consumer to purchase a Membrane Vessel with Check Valve and Flow Restrictor, in addition to the Membrane Filter with every Membrane replacement. Typical Rejection of minerals and impurities for the TFC Membrane is 95%-99% removal, compared to 70%-80% for the CTA Membrane.

This 10 micron filter uses Extruded Carbon Block Technology encapsulated inside of a Proprietary Plastic Housing to reduce or remove Chlorine, and other Hydro-Carbon Gases from untreated water. Small granules of Bituminous Carbon are Crushed and bonded together with a proprietary Extrusion molding process to form a long, solid BLOCK of Carbon that is cut to specific lengths. Bituminous Carbon is mined from the Earth and does not possess the smaller cell site structure of Coconut Shell Carbon, so Bituminous Carbon IS NOT capable of reducing or removing VOC’s (Volatile Organic Chemicals), Ammonia, Chloramines, or other priority level Hydro-Carbon Gas contaminants that a 1/2 micron Carbon Block filter is capable of reducing or removing. And, the 10 micron rating results in less filter material volume weight per square inch which does not allow for removal of Silt, Clay, Fine Sediments, Cysts or Bacteria that a 1/2 micron Carbon Block is capable of reducing or removing. The solid Carbon Block design provides 2 to 3 times more volume weight of filter material compared to other Granular Carbon and Fiber type filters by greatly reducing the porosity of the loose granules of Carbon. This filter would normally be used as a Pre-filter to reduce or remove Chlorine from the incoming water when combined with other pre-filters in a Multi-stage Reverse Osmosis system, or as a stand alone filter at a single dispensing  faucet, requiring frequent service intervals and cartridge replacement. This filter utilizes a Proprietary design which restricts the consumer to only one choice of filter cartridge selection and one distribution entity when replacing expired or exhausted filters, which typically imposes a higher retail price and compromise in quality and performance.

MEM24TFCKI-PF - Substitute Membrane Filter for Kinetico Part # 10501 (Must Use With DPF5MIMFKI-VX Sediment/Carbon Pre-Filter)

This .02 micron filter uses unique structural micro-filtration membrane tubes made from a PE or PVDF sintered porous substrate that creates an intricate network of open-celled, omni-directional pores that are encapsulated inside of a proprietary plastic housing. These substrate pores are then filled with a membrane material which gives the tubes an innovative combination of filtering capability and structural strength. Water is forced through the pores of the membranes at typical operating pressures of 20–80 psi, and suspended particulates such as Silt, Clay, Cysts, Bacteria, Fungus, Algae, and certain Virus are trapped on the membrane material and prevented from exiting the filter. This filter would normally be used as a post-filter of a Membrane for a Reverse Osmosis system, or combined with other pre-filters in a Multi-stage Reverse Osmosis system, or as a stand alone filter. This filter offers the BEST protection against Fine Sediments, Cysts, Bacteria and other contaminants.
