Description

This 10-micron carbon block filter is the factory-specified pre-filtration replacement for the Pura and Aqua Flo UV20-3 ultraviolet disinfection system. Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42, it is engineered to reduce chlorine, chloramines, sediment, and organic matter before water reaches your UV chamber — keeping your lamp sleeve clear and your disinfection system working at full effectiveness.

Pre-filtration is not an optional step in a UV system. Contaminants that coat the quartz sleeve around your UV lamp can significantly reduce the UV dose delivered to your water, compromising the safety of your entire system. Replacing this filter on schedule every 6 to 12 months is one of the most important things you can do to protect your investment and your water quality.

This filter drops directly into any standard 20" sump housing with no modifications required, making replacement quick and straightforward.

  • Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for aesthetic water quality reduction
  • Reduces chlorine, sediment, and organic contaminants
  • Fits standard 20" sump housing — compatible with Pura and Aqua Flo UV20-3 systems

Q&A

Q:

What does the Pura 36017 reduce?

A:

This 10-micron carbon block is designed to reduce chlorine taste and odor, chloramine, sediment, and organic matter. Actual performance and capacity depend on incoming water conditions and flow.

Q:

What systems or housings fit the Pura 36017?

A:

The catalog lists UV20, UV20-3. Check the exact model or part number on the existing equipment before ordering Pura 36017. Its nominal cartridge size is 2.5-by-20-inch; verify the housing size before ordering.

Q:

How is a carbon block different from a sediment-only filter?

A:

A carbon block combines particulate filtration with activated carbon treatment for taste and odor. A sediment-only cartridge targets suspended particles but does not provide the same carbon treatment.

Q:

How often should the Pura 36017 be replaced?

A:

Replace it every 6 to 12 months or according to the UV20 maintenance schedule. Heavy sediment or chlorine loading can shorten service life.

Q:

Does a new Pura 36017 need to be flushed?

A:

Flush the new cartridge according to the equipment instructions until carbon fines are cleared.

Q:

What should I verify before substituting another carbon cartridge?

A:

Match part 36017, the 10-micron rating, and the approved UV20 model list. A standard-size cartridge can still differ in carbon media and capacity.
