Abstract

A filter assembly for removing contaminants from a fluid includes a filter housing, a filter cartridge, and a reticulated foam fluid treatment media. The filter housing has an inlet, an outlet and a chamber extending through the filter housing. The filter cartridge is positioned in the chamber of the filter housing and is constructed from a fibrous material used to filter contaminants from a fluid. The reticulated foam fluid treatment media is disposed within a passageway of the filter cartridge. The reticulated foam fluid treatment media includes a porous polymeric substrate having surfaces, including pore walls, and particles secured to the surfaces of the porous polymeric substrate via a binder, the particles being substantially uniformly distributed throughout the porous polymeric substrate via sonic vibration of the porous polymeric substrate and particles.
