CataCarbix™

Chloramine calls for the right carbon. CataCarbix™ uses catalytic activated carbon to promote chloramine breakdown, with cartridge design and water contact considered together.

Match your filter to your water supply

Some Australian water supplies use chloramine as a lasting disinfectant. It reacts more slowly with conventional carbon than free chlorine. CataCarbix™ focuses on the carbon surface properties needed for this different treatment task.

An active surface, with time to work

Water reaches reactive sites on the catalytic carbon surface, where chloramine breakdown is promoted. The cartridge must provide access to those sites and suitable contact at its operating flow. Surface activity, water chemistry and cartridge condition all contribute to the result.

Why choose catalytic carbon?

Conventional activated carbon is widely used for free-chlorine treatment and may reduce chloramine with suitable contact. CataCarbix™ specifically focuses on catalytic surface activity for chloramine. Look for chloramine-specific information for the finished cartridge, including its flow and treatment capacity.

Chloramine treatment, considered from four angles

The carbon surface and the conditions inside the cartridge both matter.

Suitable carbon

Select catalytic surface properties for the chloramine treatment task.

Surface access

Water needs a clear path to the active sites.

Practical flow

Choose a cartridge suited to the demand of your household.

Service capacity

Check performance through use and follow the cartridge’s replacement guidance.

Catalytic carbon within your filtration system

CataCarbix™ and CarbonWeave™ can bring surface chemistry and cartridge structure together in the same product.

Particle control

SedriCore™ reduces suspended sediment before the carbon stage.

Carbon structure

CarbonWeave™ shapes the porous matrix and the water path.

Chloramine treatment

CataCarbix™ focuses on catalytic reactions at the carbon surface.

Additional needs

Scale, metals and PFAS require their own suitable treatment approach.

Know what is in your local supply

Start with your supplier’s water-quality information. If chloramine is used, we can help you assess a system suited to that task and your household flow.

CataCarbix™ questions, answered

Chlorine or chloramine?

They are different disinfectants and need separate performance information.

Does coconut shell mean catalytic?

No. Raw-material origin alone does not establish catalytic surface activity.

Does it work forever?

No. Water conditions and use affect the cartridge’s service life.

Which flow matters?

Use the rating for your chosen system, especially when supplying multiple taps.
