10″ x 4.5″ Triple Stage Replacement Filters – Sediment 5 Micron + GAC + Carbon Block CTO, SKU# SGC-10BB

Description

10″ x 4.5″ Whole House Filter Replacement Set – Sediment (5 Micron) + GAC + CTO Carbon Block (3-Stage, Big Blue)

Purpose

This 3-stage replacement filter set is designed to restore and maintain the performance of whole house water filtration systems. It combines sediment filtration, granular activated carbon (GAC), and a carbon block (CTO) to provide comprehensive water treatment—removing particles, reducing chlorine, and improving taste and odor throughout your home.
