Activated Carbon For Water Filter

Water filters play a crucial role in the purification of drinking water. Activated carbon is an important material often used in water filters and helps ensure that the water that flows from the taps in our homes is pure and safe. This article discusses the basic components of the water filter and the importance of activated carbon in the water filter.

The five typical stages of water filters are:

First stage made of PP cotton: removal of visible objects, dust and foreign particles.
Second and third stage made of pre-activated carbon: removal of chlorine and organic substances, removal of bad odours and colours.
Fourth stage: removal of bacteria, viruses and spores by ultrafiltration or reverse osmosis membrane.
Fifth stage of the activated carbon device: improving the taste and removing strange odours.

CTO filter and UDF filter

CTO Filter: A filter containing coal-based activated carbon or coconut shell activated carbon, sintered with a food-grade binder.

UDF Filter: A filter placing granular activated carbon particles into a special plastic shell and welding end caps to both ends of the shell.

Activated Carbon Selection for Water Filters

Customers can choose coal or coconut granular activated carbon depending on the water quality. Additionally, impregnated silver-activated carbon can also be preferred. In this selection process, selecting the right activated carbon with properties suitable for the needs of the water filter is crucial.
