Each cartridge uses a dense carbon block media to trap particles down to 5 microns while improving water flavor and clarity. They are offered as a cost-effective alternative to factory parts and are intended for routine maintenance schedules where a compatible, NSF-grade performance is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these replacement filters fit my Flow-Pur 8 system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cartridges are sized and configured to match the Flow-Pur 8 housing connection points and seals, so installation follows the same steps as your original cartridge.
