Viqua C2-01PB Carbon Block Replacement Water Filter, 10-Micron, 4.5 x 10 In

The Viqua C2-01PB is a genuine, high-performance carbon block replacement filter cartridge engineered to deliver advanced multi-stage water purification for residential and light commercial applications. Designed specifically for use with Viqua AWP40B-V, AWP40C-V, AWP50B-V, FB1-1.5PF, FB1-1PR-DO, and FB1-1PR-PS water treatment systems — as well as most standard Big Blue style filter housings — this cartridge ensures broad compatibility across a wide range of whole-house filtration configurations. Featuring a modified carbon block core with a nominal filtration rating of 10 Microns, this replacement filter effectively reduces particulate matter, chlorine, unpleasant taste, and objectionable odors that can compromise the quality and palatability of your household water supply. The cartridge operates at an impressive flow rate of 6.5 gallons per minute, maintaining strong water pressure throughout your system without sacrificing filtration performance. What distinguishes the C2-01PB from standard carbon filters is its enhanced lead reduction capability — a critical feature for households concerned about heavy metal contamination in aging plumbing infrastructure. The lead reduction capacity is independently rated for up to 6,000 gallons at 3 GPM, providing extended, reliable protection between replacement cycles. Regular cartridge replacement every 6 to 12 months, depending on water quality and household consumption, is recommended to sustain optimal filtration efficiency and safeguard the performance of your UV water treatment system.
