Default Chlorine taste and odor

I am presently using GE FXWTC filters. The specs tell me that this
filter reduces Chlorine taste & odor.

I am searching for a filter with the same dimensions that reduces
Chlorine by 99% not just taste & odor. What can you recommend?

Default Re: Chlorine taste and odor

The GAC (granular activated carbon) filters do the best job on chlorine because of the extended contact time. You need to get a pretty good sized system or else your flow rate will be reduced to much.

GAC-20BB

This will reduce the chlorine to chloride particles, which has no noticeable taste and odor.
This is the most traditional method of reducing chlorine.

Thank you,
