About carbon filter

Carbon filters use activated carbon to clean water through a process called adsorption, where impurities stick to the vast internal surface of the carbon.

What Carbon Filters Remove

• Chlorine and Chloramines: Removes municipal disinfectants that cause unpleasant tastes and odors.
• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Traps industrial solvents, pesticides, and herbicides.
• Aesthetic Impurities: Eliminates bad smells, cloudiness, and strange tastes.
• Certain Heavy Metals: Some specialized variants can reduce lead, mercury, or copper.

       Granular Activated Carbon (GAC): Features loose carbon granules that allow water to flow quickly; often used for general taste and odor control.

       Carbon Block Filters: Uses compressed, solid carbon that slows water flow but traps smaller particles and contaminants more thoroughly.

       Pre-Treatment: Frequently placed before Reverse Osmosis systems to protect sensitive membranes from chlorine damage.
