Frequently Asked Questions
How often should the Tucker carbon filter be replaced?
Tucker recommends changing the carbon filter at least every 5,000 gallons. Change it sooner if your municipal water is heavily chlorinated or if you notice RO production dropping.
What does the carbon stage actually do?
Activated carbon adsorbs chlorine and organic compounds from tap water. Chlorine destroys RO membranes, so a fresh carbon pre-filter is the cheapest insurance for the most expensive part of your cart.
Will this filter fit non-Tucker systems?
The 20026 is made for the Tucker RO/DI cart. Many systems use standard 10-inch housings, but check your housing size and flow specs before substituting.
Does a fresh carbon filter improve water quality at the brush?
Indirectly, yes. By protecting the RO membrane and DI resin from chlorine, a fresh carbon stage keeps the whole system producing low-TDS water for spot-free rinsing.
