The Aries AF-10-3695 is specifically engineered for arsenic removal from drinking water. It utilizes a specialized arsenic-selective adsorbent media designed to effectively reduce both Arsenic III and Arsenic V from potable water supplies. This 10-inch radial flow cartridge is ideal for point-of-use (POU) and point-of-entry (POE) applications where arsenic contamination is a concern, making it a targeted solution rather than a general-purpose sediment or carbon filter.

The Aries AF-10-3695 arsenic removal filter has a rated capacity of approximately 650 gallons, depending on the influent arsenic concentration, pH levels, and overall water chemistry. For most households, this translates to a service life of roughly 6 months. However, because arsenic levels vary by source, regular testing of your treated water is recommended to determine the exact replacement schedule for your specific application.

The Aries AF-10-3695 is a standard 10-inch radial flow cartridge measuring approximately 9.75" in length with a 2.88" outer diameter, making it compatible with most standard 10" filter housings. It operates at a maximum flow rate of 1 GPM (gallons per minute) with an operating pressure range of 10-125 psi and a temperature range of 40-100°F. The radial flow design maximizes contact time between the water and the arsenic-selective media for optimal removal efficiency.

The Aries AF-10-3695 uses arsenic-selective adsorbent media that is manufactured to meet industry standards for arsenic reduction. While certification status can vary, the filter is specifically formulated for the reduction of arsenic to below the EPA's Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 10 ppb (parts per billion). For verified certification details and performance data sheets, we recommend reviewing the manufacturer's documentation before installation.

Since arsenic is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, you cannot rely on sensory cues to determine when the AF-10-3695 needs replacement. Best practice is to replace the cartridge every 6 months or after approximately 650 gallons of use, whichever comes first. Additionally, we strongly recommend periodic water testing—either through a certified lab or a home arsenic test kit—to confirm that arsenic levels remain below 10 ppb in your treated water, ensuring the filter is still performing effectively.
