ACTIVATED CARBON
How activated carbon works.
Granular Activated Carbon
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is a specialised water filter media comprising of loose granules of carbon. It is primarily used for the reduction of chlorine and related contaminants from the incoming water supply.
Granular Activated carbon improves the taste, colour and odour of water and is used to great effect in a wide variety of applications including drinking water, hot beverages such as tea and coffee as well as postmix drinks.
Most Granular Activated Carbon water filters are made from ground carbon, which are then treated with steam and pressure, to create a media with an enormous number of porous sites in and over the entire surface. They are then positively charged.
As water passes through the carbon media, the contaminants are held within deep fissures, on the surface or are altered by the catalytic action of the media.
Granular Activated Carbon performance and success is predominantly dependent on the contact time between the media and water. Therefore, a slower flow rate enhances performance.
Our GAC is impregnated with silver to reduce the risk of bacterial infection if the filter is not exchanged at the correct intervals.
