No complaints!
"We've had a viqua filter for 18 months now and has no problems at all. Replaced the sediment filters every 6 months and have seen any problems with the system. Replacement is easy and straightforward."
Great product, think about the recommended bleach cleaning.
"The filter fits perfectly. Make sure the installation allows room to drain the filter housing without getting water all over the place. Make a stand or a way to hang a drain bucket. The bleach disinfecting may cause a lingering bleach smell and taste since when one's water is off, there is no way to rinse the bleach smell from the housing unless you run a bathtub full of water of some other source of water. I would time this procedure so it is not in the winter time."

Q&A
Q:
What does the CMB-520-HF filter reduce?
A:
It is a high-flow polypropylene cartridge that reduces sediment, dirt, and rust, with a 5-micron inner rating. It helps limit particulate loading before the UV chamber.
Q:
Which systems use the CMB-520-HF?
A:
The catalog lists Arros 15-IHS22, Arros 22-IHS22, IHS22-D4, IHS22-E4, VH410-F20, and VH410-F22. Confirm the exact system model and 20-inch housing before ordering.
Q:
What are the cartridge dimensions?
A:
The nominal size is 4.5 inches by 20 inches. The 10-inch and 20-inch CMB-HF models are not interchangeable.
Q:
What flow is the CMB-520-HF designed to support?
A:
It is intended for high-flow service in compatible 20-inch housings. Actual system flow also depends on the housing, plumbing, water temperature, and how much sediment the cartridge has captured.
Q:
How often should this VIQUA sediment cartridge be replaced?
A:
Use the interval in the UV system manual and replace sooner if flow falls, pressure drop rises, or heavy sediment is visible.
Q:
Why use sediment pre-filtration before a UV system?
A:
Reducing suspended particles helps water pass through the UV chamber with less interference and helps protect downstream components. It does not replace lamp and sleeve maintenance.
