Water is filtered with Granular Activated Carbon

WE all have heard it before: environmental incidents and disasters can cause water contamination - resulting in water with high levels of ammonia content and a loathsome foul smell that annoys our senses.

In view of the frequency and severity of such incidents, which may result in detrimental health consequences, we should seriously consider taking additional measures necessary for better-treated water. One simple and cost effective way to curb the problem is to invest in an effective water filtration system that contains Granular Activated Carbon.

Water Filters and Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Activated carbon is one of the best tools, which can be used to reduce health risks and provide an aesthetically pleasing water supply at reasonable cost.

Activated carbon has a natural affinity for organic pollutants like benzene and volatile organic chemicals (VOC), which bind to its surface, in a process call "adsorption".

By steaming activated carbon at 1,8O0~C, it forms little pores and pockets that increases its surface area, Pesticides, chloroform, and other contaminants then slide into the holes of these honeycomb-like carbon surface are trapped, hence rid the water of undesirable contaminants.

Water filters containing Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) helps remove VOC, pesticides and herbicides, trihalomethane compounds, radon, solvents and other man-made chemicals found in tap water.

These organics react with disinfectants, especially chlorine, and cause the formation of disinfection-by-products (DBP), DBP's are often carcinogenic (cancer causing) and therefore produces highly unwanted substances. The US Environmental Protection Agency estimates that VOCs are present in one-fifth of municipal water supplies, which enters ground water from a variety of sources.

Because little is known about the additive effects of these chemicals, special attention should be paid to detecting and eliminating VOC sources if two or more chemicals are found in the water.

Sources of VOC contamination should be eliminated if possible. In addition to pollutants like VGCs and DBPs, activated carbon is also effective in removing foul taste, smell, odour and colour of treated water supply.

Water filters with Granulated Activated Carbon can be installed for point-of-use (P.O.U.) treatment at the faucet, or point-of-entry (P.O.E.) treatment where water enters the home, P,O.E, Whole House Water Filter Systems are also recommended for MOO removal to ensure that water used for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and bathing is contamination free.
