Granule Activated Carbon Filter

Description The Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), often referred to as a UDF filter, is a crucial stage in any high-quality multi-stage water purification system. Crafted from raw organic materials like coconut shells, the carbon is intensely heated to create a massive porous surface area. This “charcoal” filter uses adsorption to effectively extract free chlorine and organic compounds, resulting in cleaner, crisper, and better-tasting water. Features Superior De-chlorination: Effectively extracts residual free chlorine from municipal water supplies. Taste & Odor Neutralizer: Eliminates chemical smells and the unpleasant “pool” taste caused by chlorine and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Organic Contaminant Removal: Adsorbs various organic compounds, making water safer for drinking, cooking, and manufacturing. High Porosity: Engineered for maximum contact time between water and carbon media for deep chemical extraction. Versatile Application: Ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial settings where high-quality water polishing is required. How It Works The Adsorption Process: Unlike a sediment filter that “catches” particles, GAC works through adsorption. Chemicals and organic pollutants stick to the massive internal surface area of the carbon granules as water flows through the cartridge. The Result: Water that is free from the harsh chemicals used during municipal treatment, leaving you with refreshing, “bottled-quality” water at your tap.

Replacement Interval: Replace every 6 to 12 months or when the rated gallon capacity is reached. Warning Sign: Replace immediately if you notice a return of chemical tastes or chlorine odors. Installation Tip: Always install after a sediment filter (PP or String Wound) to prevent the carbon pores from becoming clogged by dirt and sand.
