Whole House – Chloraguard

$459.00 inc. GST

Matrikx ChloraGuard is the better choice for homes supplied with chloraminated water because it provides significantly greater chlorine and chloramine reduction capacity than other carbon cartridges.

Key benefits include:

  • Greater chloramine reduction capacity
  • Longer-lasting performance in chloraminated water
  • Strong chlorine, taste and odour reduction
  • Suitable for households with higher water usage
  • Uses high-quality catalytic carbon filtration

While all carbon cartridges provide effective general filtration, ChloraGuard is specifically designed for stronger and longer-lasting protection against chlorine and chloramine, making it the preferred option in areas where chloramine is used by the local water authority.

  • PFAS reduction
  • CHLORAMINE reduction
  • VOC reduction
  • 1 micron nominal filtration reduces sand, rust and sediment
  • Excellent chemical contaminant reduction
  • High dirt holding capacity
  • High Adsorptive Capacity and Efficiency

New and Improved MATRIKX® carbon blocks.

What is the difference?

For the 20″ × 4.5″ Big Blue cartridges, the main difference is that Matrikx ChloraGuard has substantially greater chlorine and chloramine capacity than the MatrikX CTO Plus or MatrikX Carbon CTO. The PFAS, VOC, micron rating and pressure-drop specifications are essentially the same.

The manufacturer’s data shows that ChloraGuard provides:

  • approximately 50% greater chlorine capacity
  • approximately double the chloramine capacity
  • the same published PFAS and VOC capacities
  • the same nominal filtration and pressure drop as CTO Plus

Eco-friendly materials used
