Carbon Filter

Uses of carbonGranular Activated Carbon (GAC) filters are an excel-

lent choice for removal of chlorine, taste and odour, or

organics in water. Some types will even reduce metals.

Coconut based carbons are a general purpose carbon

especially useful in reducing chlorine eg for taste or

before RO membranes. Coal based carbons are partic-

ularly useful for reducing pesticides and other organ-

ics while bone charcoal has uses for colour and heavy

metal reduction.

How does it work?GAC works by absorbing the soluble pollutants onto

its surface and holding them. Because it has such a

massive surface area the amount of absorption is

probably one of the greatest of any natural man made

material available. Eventually all the pores are filled

and the carbon will need to be replaced. As the con-

taminants are absorbed onto the carbon backwashing

the filters is a good idea as the pollutants are held firm

but the carbon can be rebeded stopping channelling.
