Q: What is granular activated carbon?Granular activated carbon is made of highly porous adsorbent material, produced by heating organic matter such as coal, wood and coconut shells in the absence of air, which is then pulverized into particles. Activated carbon is positively charged and therefore able to remove negative ions from water such as ozone, chlorine, fluoride and dissolved organic solutes by being absorbed onto the activated carbon.
Q: Where can we use it?
Premium coconut shell granular activated carbon filters are commonly used in reverse osmosis pre filtration and many other filtration applications. This filter element fits into a standard 10" housing To keep the filter system operating efficiently, replace this filter element periodically as needed. For many residential applications this may be 6-12 months. Before putting a new cartridge into service, drain 2-3 gallons of water into the waste to rinse off the toner. Water flows from bottom to top with rubber gasket on top.
