Granular Activated Carbon Filter Cartridge 10 Inch Fat
Effective Water Filtration for Chlorine, Odor, and Taste Improvement Our carbon filters are designed to efficiently remove chlorine, eliminate odors, and enhance the taste of your drinking water. To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to replace the carbon filter annually or as advised by your water treatment professional.
Caution: Installation Guidelines
After installing the new carbon filter cartridge, be sure to flush the system by running 5 gallons of tap water through it. This step helps remove any carbon fine particles that may be present.
What is Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC) and Its Main Purpose?
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is known for its extensive surface area, which is a result of its highly porous structure. The effectiveness of GAC filters is influenced by the water flow rate and contact time. If the flow rate is too high, the filtration efficiency can drop significantly, potentially down to 0%. Conversely, at slower flow rates, GAC can outperform many other carbon filtration forms, offering superior efficiency.
Advantages of GAC Over Other Carbon Forms
GAC is highly effective and economical for reducing taste, odor, and chemical contaminants in water. It stands out due to its cost-effectiveness and reusability, making it a preferred choice for long-term filtration solutions.
