Compatibility

  • Designed around a standard 10" filter housing with a charcoal/carbon block element.
  • Includes both 1/2" and 5/8" hose barb options - use the size that matches your existing plumbing.
  • Commonly used on freshwater flush plumbing to reduce chlorine exposure to membranes (verify your installation space and hose sizes before ordering).

Installation Tips

  • Mount the bracket on a solid vertical surface with enough clearance to remove the sump for filter changes.
  • Use thread sealant (PTFE tape or paste) on the 3/4" NPT fittings and tighten carefully - do not overtighten plastic fittings.
  • Install with the flow direction recommended for your setup, then pressurize slowly and check for leaks.
  • After installation, flush a few gallons through the filter to clear any carbon fines before sending water downstream.

Maintenance Guidelines

  • Replace the charcoal element on a routine schedule based on usage and water quality (taste/odor return is a common indicator).
  • Inspect the housing O-ring whenever you open the sump - clean and lubricate lightly if needed.
  • If the system is stored for long periods, follow your Spectra storage and flushing best practices.

FAQs

What does this charcoal filter kit do?
It is designed to help remove chlorine and reduce unwanted taste/odors from tank water, which can be especially useful on freshwater flush plumbing to help protect RO membranes.
Does this kit include a housing wrench?
Yes - this KIT-FLT-CC build includes FT-FHW-3PCS (filter housing wrench) for easier servicing.
Which hose barb fittings should I use - 1/2" or 5/8"?
Use the barb size that matches your existing hose. This kit includes two 1/2" and two 5/8" straight hose barbs so you can plumb it to either size.
Is the charcoal element replaceable?
Yes - the charcoal element is a standard 10" replacement cartridge (FT-FTC-CC). Keep a spare onboard if you freshwater flush frequently or travel in areas with heavily chlorinated dock water.
Where is this typically installed?
Most commonly, it is installed in-line on the freshwater flush feed, upstream of the watermaker system, so incoming freshwater is filtered before reaching sensitive components.
