Carbon Water Filters

Carbon water filters are devices that use activated carbon to remove impurities and contaminants from water. The activated carbon is a form of carbon that has been treated to create a vast number of tiny pores, increasing its surface area and making it highly effective at adsorbing (not absorbing) various substances. When water passes through a carbon filter, contaminants like chlorine, sediment, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and some heavy metals are attracted to the carbon and adhere to its surface. This process helps improve the taste and odor of the water while also making it safer for consumption. There are different types of carbon filters, including granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, carbon block filters, and catalytic carbon filters, each with specific applications and effectiveness depending on the contaminants being targeted. Overall, carbon water filters are a popular choice for both home and industrial water purification systems due to their efficiency and ability to enhance water quality.
