The Eden Excel® XL1-C050 series carbon filter has been specifically designed as a general purpose carbon treatment and sediment removal filter for potable and process water applications. Up to 2,000 gallons of municipal water can be treated for chlorine removal. The filter is of low density design and can also be utilized as an effective pre-filter for sediment due to its depth-type construction.The media composition consists of several layers for maximum filtration capabilities. These layers include finely pulverized carbon for solution purification with synthetic fibers that are pre-selected for optimum pore size for high dirt holding capacity.

The Eden Excel® XL1-C020 series construction is similar to the Eden Excel® XL1-C050, but is a modified molded block powdered carbon cartridge having a higher density. This increased density provides a high surface area of carbon with flow paths similar to standard filter media. The cartridge contains more active sites with a lower pressure drop and higher dirt holding capacity than other molded type carbon block filters. This higher surface allows removal of volatile organic chemicals and free chlorine pollutants outperforming typical granular activated carbon filters.
