Omnipure L5520 is a 1-micron carbon block cartridge from Omnipure’s L-Series twist-off line.

Tested per NSF/ANSI 42 protocol at 2.22 ppm influent chlorine: >99% average / 90% minimum reduction to <0.1 ppm average and maximum effluent. Cyst reduction 99.99% (104,457-particle challenge, NSF/ANSI 53). FilterBridge Supply takes commercial and public-agency requests for this part by part number.

What to check before you order

This page does not say this part works in any particular housing or swaps for any other brand's part. Before ordering, compare these against what you use today:

  1. Size. This part is 2.5″ × 10″ (diameter × length). Check your housing's cartridge size or the label on the part you use today.
  2. Micron rating. 1 Micron. If your specification calls for an absolute rating or a particular rating type, say so in your request.
  3. Media. Carbon block. If the part you use now has a different media, flag it so the change is a conscious one.
  4. End style and seal. The manufacturer data we hold does not list end caps or gaskets for this part. If your housing needs a spring seat, a fin end or a gasket, tell us.
  5. Certification. The manufacturer's statement is shown word for word in the specification table. If your specification needs a certification for this exact part number, put it in your request.

Our spec comparison guide walks through each item.
