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.

Maintenance

GAC cartridges are not reusable or washable.

• 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.

Compatibility

The GAC filter is an essential component for:

• Under-Counter Systems: Multi-stage units (usually Stage 2).

• Whole-House Filtration: 2-Stage and 3-Stage Big Blue POE systems.

• Reverse Osmosis (RO): Pre-treatment to protect the sensitive RO membrane from chlorine damage.
