5 Micron Carbon Block Filter Chlorine VOC Removal

The First Line of Defense Before Your Ionizer

Why make your expensive internal filters work harder than they need to? The 5 Micron Carbon Block Prefilter removes chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and taste-altering chemicals BEFORE water even enters your Life Ionizer – extending internal filter life and delivering cleaner water from the start.

🔬 Carbon Block Filtration Technology

Unlike loose granular carbon, carbon block technology compresses activated carbon into a solid structure with millions of microscopic pores. This creates:

• Greater Surface Area: More contact time between water and carbon for superior adsorption
• Consistent Filtration: No channeling or bypassing that occurs with loose media
• 5 Micron Rating: Catches particles down to 5 microns while maintaining excellent flow

What This Prefilter Removes

⚠️ Chlorine: The harsh chemical taste and smell from municipal water treatment
⚠️ VOCs: Volatile organic compounds from industrial pollution and household chemicals
⚠️ Bad Tastes & Odors: Chemical and organic compounds that make water unpleasant
⚠️ Organic Chemicals: Pesticide residues, herbicides, and industrial solvents
⚠️ Sediment (5+ microns): Larger particles that carbon block captures

Why Use a Pre-Filter?

Your Life Ionizer's internal filters are designed for advanced purification – not bulk contaminant removal. By installing a carbon block prefilter, you:

💰 Save Money: Internal filters last significantly longer
⚡ Improve Performance: Internal filters can focus on what they do best
💧 Better Water Quality: Two-stage external filtration before ionization
🔧 Reduce Maintenance: Less frequent internal filter changes

Universal Compatibility

This prefilter works with ALL Life Ionizer models when installed in a standard 10" filter housing (sold separately). Perfect for:

• Life MXL Series (MXL-5 through MXL-15)
• Life Next Generation (M5, M7, M9, M11, M13)
• Life M-Series (M7, M9)
• Life 7500/7600/8000/8100 Series
• Life 7700/9000/9100/9200 Series
• Life 5100 Series

Features

✓ Filtration Rating: 5 micron carbon block technology
✓ Removes: Chlorine, VOCs, bad tastes, odors, organic chemicals
✓ Extends Life: Protects internal filters from premature wear
✓ Compatible: All Life Ionizer models
✓ Housing: Fits standard 10" filter housings
✓ Flow Rate: High flow with minimal pressure drop

Replacement Schedule

📅 Standard Use: Every 6-12 months
💧 High Chlorine Areas: Every 4-6 months
👨👩👧👦 Heavy Use: Every 4-6 months

Pro Tip: If you notice chlorine taste returning or flow rate decreasing, it's time to replace your prefilter.

💡 Build Your Complete Pre-Filtration System

For maximum protection, pair with a 5 Micron Sediment Filter to catch particles before they reach the carbon block. This dual pre-filtration extends both filter lives and delivers the cleanest possible water to your ionizer.
