Celrith sintered activated carbon filter cartridges are designed to remove chlorine, odours, colour, and heavy metals from drinking water while reducing scale build-up. Made from high-iodine coconut shell carbon and food-grade ion exchange resin, they suit household RO purifiers, refrigerators, water dispensers, and commercial coffee machines. This Ф51×127 model is part of a flexible range that can be customised to your exact dimensions.
Municipal water often carries residual chlorine from disinfection, which gives a noticeable bleach-like taste and smell. Organic matter, colour bodies, and trace heavy metals such as lead and mercury may also be present. In appliances, these contaminants don't just affect taste—they can foul membranes, clog valves, and leave scale that shortens equipment life.
For coffee machines and refrigerators, even small amounts of chlorine or odour can taint the final product. The Celrith cartridge targets these issues at the point of use, combining adsorption and ion exchange in a single sintered stick.
When water contains scale-forming minerals, heating elements and steam boilers accumulate deposits that reduce efficiency and increase energy consumption. Chlorine and organic contaminants can degrade plastic components and rubber seals over time. In RO systems, pre-carbon filtration protects the membrane from chlorine attack, while post-carbon improves taste.
The Celrith cartridge reduces this load by softening water through ion exchange and adsorbing chlorine and organics. The result is less scaling, fewer odours, and longer service intervals for downstream components.
The cartridge is formed by sintering a blend of high-iodine coconut shell carbon and food-grade ion exchange resin. This creates a porous block with uniform micropores that allow high initial flow while maintaining fine filtration. The structure traps sediment and prevents carbon fines from releasing into the water—no black particles.
The ion exchange resin softens water by exchanging hardness ions for sodium, reducing scale formation. It also captures heavy metals like lead and mercury. The activated carbon adsorbs chlorine, off-flavours, and organic pollutants, with a large saturation capacity for long service life.
Celrith offers full customisation: outer diameter from Ф30 to Ф60 mm, any length, and end-cap welding options. Whether you need a standard Ф51×127 or a unique size, we can tool to your drawing.

This cartridge is used by manufacturers of household reverse osmosis systems, where it serves as a pre-filter (CTO) to protect the RO membrane or as a post-filter (T33) for taste polishing. It is also found in point-of-use water dispensers, side-by-side refrigerators with built-in water filters, and commercial coffee machines that require scale-free water.
Because sizes are flexible, it suits both standard replacement filters and custom-designed appliances. OEM and ODM customers rely on Celrith to match exact dimensions and performance requirements.

It removes residual chlorine (bleach), odours, colour, organic pollutants, and heavy metals such as lead and mercury. The ion exchange resin also softens water by reducing hardness minerals that cause scale.
Replacement depends on water quality and usage, but typical service life is 6–12 months or around 6,000 litres. Monitor for taste, odour, or flow reduction as indicators.
It achieves over 95% chlorine removal and effectively reduces VOCs, off-flavours, and heavy metals. The sintered structure provides fine filtration without carbon fines.
