HOW TRIPLEX WORKS

Three filtration stages. One streamlined system.

Each stage has a distinct job. The final cartridge is selected for the application.

01 / FIRST STAGE

Carbon Block

Initial reduction of sediment, chlorine, and selected organic compounds.

Triplex Stage 1: Carbon Block

02 / SECOND STAGE

Activated Carbon

Additional adsorption of chlorine and selected organics to polish the water.

Triplex Stage 2: Activated Carbon

03 / FINAL STAGE

Ion Exchange

Application-specific media selected for targeted treatment, including PFAS or hardness applications.

Triplex Stage 3: Ion Exchange

1 Carbon Block Choose your sediment filtration rating
View performance data
Carbon block provides initial sediment and chlorine reduction. Choose 5 or 10 micron filtration. See the performance tables below for test conditions and results.
2 Activated Carbon Activated carbon cartridge, matched to your housing
View performance data
Activated carbon provides additional adsorption treatment. Throughput depends on water chemistry and application. See the performance tables below for details.
3 Specialty Treatment Select the treatment application

Triplex - Drinking Water

Targeted Treatment in One Compact System

Triplex combines carbon block, activated carbon, and a selectable final cartridge in one wall-mounted system. Choose a 4.5" × 10" or 4.5" × 20" housing and configure the cartridges for your drinking-water application.

Housing Sizes & Cartridge Specifications

Both Triplex configurations use three replaceable cartridges. Choose 4.5" × 10" for the smaller format or 4.5" × 20" when the application calls for additional media volume.

Compare individual cartridge specifications below. Flow, pressure drop, capacity, and service life depend on cartridge selection, incoming water quality, and operating conditions; individual cartridge ratings are not overall system ratings.
