Aries (AF-10-2013-BB) 10"x4.5" Big Blue 3 LB KDF-55-GAC Filter
AF-10-2013-BB 10"×4.5" Big Blue KDF-55-GAC Filter
The Aries AF-10-2013-BB pairs 3 pounds of KDF-55 redox media with acid-washed coconut shell carbon in a 10-inch Big Blue format for whole-house applications. KDF-55 handles chlorine removal and heavy metal reduction through oxidation-reduction chemistry, while the activated carbon polishes taste, odor, and organic compounds — the KDF also acts as a bacteriostatic agent that prevents microbial growth and extends carbon service life.
