First, the crystals keep hardness particles separated to control\nlime and scale deposits in pipes and equipment. Second, they form a thin\nprotective coating on metal surfaces to reduce corrosion. Third, they\nsequester dissolved iron at concentrations up to 1 ppm, helping to minimize\niron staining.This cartridge is engineered for use in commercial and\nresidential applications where hard water threatens expensive equipment. Water\nheaters, ice machines, coffee brewers, vending machines, and air conditioning\nsystems all benefit from consistent polyphosphate treatment. The PCC-1\noperates at flow rates up to 5 GPM within a temperature range of 40 to 100\ndegrees F and is effective for water hardness up to 15 grains per gallon with\na pH range of 6.5 to 9.0.The cartridge measures 2.88 by 9.63 inches and fits\nexclusively into Pentek 10 Standard filter housings. It is not compatible\nwith 10 Slim Line housings. The polypropylene shell and post-filter with\nBuna-N gaskets ensure durable, reliable operation.
