Carbon filters for water filtration are produced by grinding up a carbon source.
How do Carbon Filters Work?
Carbon filters remove contaminants through adsorption. Adsorption means that contaminants are attracted to the surface of the activated carbon and held to it, much the same way a magnet attracts and holds iron filings.
Carbon filters also act as a catalyst to change the chemical composition of some contaminants. Activated carbon is ideal for removing chlorine, organic chemicals such as pesticides, THMs like chloroform, and many VOCs that are components of gasoline, solvents and industrial cleaners.
How Often Should Carbon Water Filters Be Changed?
For carbon filters used in reverse osmosis drinking water systems, both the carbon filter and the polishing filter (granular activated carbon filter) should be replaced every 8-12 years. Ultimately, the lifespan of a carbon filter can vary based on how dirty or contaminated the water is. Carbon quality, humidity and usage can also factor into how long a carbon filter can last.
Are Carbon Filters Safe?
Yes. In fact, many of the carbon filters we carry have been tested and rated by a third party for material safety.
What Do Carbon Filters Remove from Water?
Carbon filters can effectively remove or reduce many contaminants from water including VOCs, chlorine, lead, fluoride, pesticides and much more.
