Frequently Asked Questions

What does the SPECTRUM SFBC FibreOnyx Standard 0.5 Micron filter remove?

The SPECTRUM SFBC FibreOnyx Standard cartridge is designed to reduce chlorine, unpleasant taste and odour, sediment, fine particulates, and harmful Cryptosporidium and Giardia cysts. Its advanced 0.5-micron carbon media delivers excellent drinking water quality while maintaining high flow rates.

What is a 0.5-micron carbon filter?

A 0.5-micron carbon filter captures extremely fine particles that larger carbon cartridges may allow to pass. This level of filtration provides effective cyst reduction while also improving the taste, smell, and clarity of drinking water.

Can this cartridge remove Cryptosporidium and Giardia?

Yes. The SFBC FibreOnyx cartridge is specifically designed to capture Cryptosporidium and Giardia cysts using its 0.5-micron filtration media, making it an excellent choice for private water supplies, boreholes, and drinking water applications.

Does this filter remove chlorine?

Yes. The activated coconut carbon media provides excellent chlorine reduction, significantly improving the taste and odour of drinking water while protecting downstream equipment from chlorine exposure.

Is this cartridge suitable for borehole water?

Yes. The SFBC FibreOnyx is ideal for borehole and private water supplies where improved water taste, odour, and protection against Cryptosporidium and Giardia cysts are required. A suitable sediment pre-filter is recommended if the water contains high levels of suspended solids.

Should I install a sediment pre-filter?

Yes. A 5-micron sediment pre-filter is recommended to maximise cartridge life and maintain optimum filtration performance by preventing premature blockage from larger particles.

What sizes are available?

The cartridge is available in: 9¾" Standard 20" Standard 30" Standard 40" Standard 9¾" Large Diameter (Big Blue) 20" Large Diameter (Big Blue) This allows the cartridge to suit a wide range of domestic, commercial, and industrial filter housings.

Will this fit my existing filter housing?

The standard versions fit most industry-standard DOE (Double Open Ended) filter housings, while the large diameter versions fit compatible Big Blue style housings. Always check your existing cartridge dimensions before ordering.

Does the filter reduce water pressure?

No. One of the key benefits of FibreOnyx technology is its exceptionally low pressure drop. It delivers the performance of a fine 0.5-micron cartridge while maintaining flow rates similar to a traditional 10-micron carbon filter.

How often should the cartridge be replaced?

Replacement frequency depends on water quality and water usage. In typical drinking water applications, the cartridge should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, or sooner if water flow decreases or chlorine taste begins to return.

Is the cartridge suitable for drinking water systems?

Yes. It is designed specifically for point-of-use drinking water filtration, under-sink systems, commercial drinking water outlets, and private water supplies requiring high-quality filtration and improved water taste.

Does the cartridge contain antimicrobial protection?

Yes. FibreOnyx media incorporates antimicrobial fibres that help inhibit bacterial growth on the cartridge surface, helping maintain performance throughout its service life.

Can this filter remove bacteria or viruses?

No. While it captures Cryptosporidium and Giardia cysts and reduces fine particles, it is not designed to sterilise water or remove all bacteria and viruses. If microbiological contamination is suspected, the cartridge should be used alongside an appropriately sized UV disinfection system or another suitable disinfection method.

What makes FibreOnyx technology different from conventional carbon filters?

FibreOnyx combines activated coconut carbon with advanced bonded antimicrobial fibres to provide: Higher dirt-holding capacity Higher chlorine reduction capacity Lower pressure drop Improved flow rates Longer service life Superior 0.5-micron filtration performance compared to conventional carbon block cartridges.
