Its centuries of popularity attest to its effectiveness. The 20 x 2.5-inch Granular Activated Carbon filters are made of fine coconut shell carbon. They remove odors, undesirable colors, and unpleasant tastes of many organic compounds.

The positively charged granules in the filter remove negative ions from the water, such as: chlorine, fluorides, ozone, and dissolved organic solutes, effectively providing good general-purpose drinking water. ​The main difference between the regular Granular Activated Carbon filter and the 20 x 2.5-inch Granular Activated Carbon filter is the size, a 20 x 2.5-inch filter is usually used for filtering the water on the entrance into the house, appropriately called whole house filter. It is able to filter a larger volume of water than a regular filter with its larger surface area, larger size, and larger radius. Chlorine removal is what carbon is best at, and nothing else equals carbon’s ability to remove chlorine. What is Granular Activated Carbon? Granular Activated Carbon is created from organic raw materials that are high in carbon. Such materials include wood, coal, and lignite – a type of brown coal made from naturally compressed peat. Activated Carbon effectively absorbs pollutants and particulars because it is highly porous and provides a large surface area that allows it to continue to take in particles found in the water that can negatively affect your health. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recognizes activated carbon in the use of absorbing organic compounds, taste and odor compounds, and synthetic chemicals in the treatment of drinking water.
