Its centuries of popularity attest to its effectiveness. Granular Activated Carbon Filters (GAC) are well-known for efficiently reducing chemical compounds, foul tastes, and smells from water. These filters remove and reduce organic and industrial chemicals that seep into water sources and through plumbing. All Ronaqua GAC filters are made with high quality coconut shell carbon crushed into positively charged granules. 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. Chlorine removal is what granular 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. These GAC Water Filters Remove all Following Impurities These universal filters are 2.5 x 10-inch. Fit most standard under-sink Reverse Osmosis water filtration units or any type of water filtration units with standard 10-inch housing. Reverse Osmosis System Whole House Water System Under Counter-top Water Filter System Counter-top Water Filter System Granular Activated carbon filters usually use in Revers Osmosis Systems before and after water passes through the membrane. The GAC pre-filter removes free chlorine, which can deteriorate thin film composite (TFC) membranes over time. Post-filters are generally used to remove tastes and odors that may be picked up from the storage tank bladder Granular Activated Carbon filters usually deliver clean chlorine and chloramine-free water for all your household uses, including drinking, cooking, showering and bathing, and cleaning. Long life filters making them relatively good solution to purify your water. Granular Activated Carbon filters usually deliver clean chlorine and chloramine-free water for drinking and cooking directly to the faucet.
