Matrikx CTO
KX MatriKX CTO Carbon Block Filters for Chlorine Taste and Odor Reduction, with GreenBlock Technology
KX MatriKX CTO® carbon block water filters are optimized for applications where they perform the role of both a sediment and activated carbon filter for chlorine taste and odor reduction. KX MatriKX CTO filters are known industry-wide for superior performance and provide a 5 Micron nominal filtration rating with extended life as a fine sediment and silt control filter, . Available in 10" and 20" Standard and Big Blue industy-standard sizes, KX MatriKX CTO filters are ideal for point of use, point of entry, and commercial solutions as stand-alone filtration or pretreatment to a reverse osmosis system.
Benefits of KX MatriKX CTO Carbon Block Filters
Matrikx CTO carbon block filters are now powered by GreenBlock® technology. They feature:
- 5 micron nominal filtration for removal of sediment, dirt, rust, and suspended solids.
- Carbon Block Filtration Reduces Chlorine, Chlorine By-Products, Bad Taste & Odors, Turbidity, Exceptionally low pressure drop.
- High dirt holding capacity.
- Excellent chemical contaminant reduction.
- High Adsorptive Capacity and Efficiency.
- NSF and WQA certification for Material Safety.
- California Prop. 65 compliance.
Benefits of Carbon Block Filters vs. Conventional GAC Filters:
- Chlorine Taste and Odor Reduction as well as Dirt and Sediment Removal: for better tasting drinking water, and protection of downstream equipment.
- No release of carbon fines: Extruded carbon filters do not release activated carbon particles ("gray water") during startup or operation. Extensive flushing or "activation" of extruded filter elements is not required.
- No channeling, fluidizing, or bypassing: Extruded carbon is a rigid structure that prevents movement of the adsorbent particles or the formation of channels and defects in the adsorbent structure.
- Low pressure drop: Water flows through an extruded filter element in the "radial" direction (from the outside of the filter element to the inside). This results in nearly fifteen times more prefiltration surface area and a much lower flow "density".
- Low binder content and high dirt capacity: Only a small amount of thermoplastic binder is used in the extrusion process, about one-half of what is used in a molded carbon block.

*Not performance tested or certified by NSF or WQA. Performance claims are based on independent laboratory and manufacturer’s internal test data. Actual performance is dependent on influent water quality, flow rates, system design and application. Results may vary. Micron ratings are based on >85% removal of the given particle size. Estimated capacity is based on >90% reduction of 2ppm of free chlorine.
KX MatriKX Green Advantage
KX Technologies® and Filtrex Technologies®, both Marmon Water/Berkshire Hathaway companies, have teamed up to combine the very best of their Matrikx® and GreenBlock® carbon block lines, into a single world class product offering. The new and improved product line is the result of decades of experience in R&D, design, formulation, and manufacture of high-performance carbon block filters.
Matrikx CTO filters, powered by GreenBlock, are made from 100% coconut shell carbon, a renewable, and ecologically sustainable material. The carbon is processed into blocks using a unique binder system and proprietary manufacturing techniques to produce filters with a greater number of micro-pores and available carbon surface area, which display superior adsorption capacity and kinetic dynamics.
The companies are committed to Research and Development to advance filtration technology in an ecologically sound way.
Green Quality
Matrikx CTO® powered by GreenBlock, carbon block filters are:
- Manufactured in ISO 9001 and 14001 certified facilities.
- Manufactured from NSF standard 61 certified coconut shell carbon.
- NSF Standard 42 certified (material safety).
- Performance validated by independent laboratories including WQA.
- Quality and performance monitored in extensive in-house laboratories.
