How Carbon Filters Work
The Carbon Filter works well because of its large surface area. According to the Home Water Purifiers and Filters site, one pound of carbon has a surface area of around 125 hectares. This allows carbon to absorb many chemicals and substances that pose a serious danger to normal domestic water supplies. Many of these substances can cause cancer, neurological problems and other health risks if ingested in large quantities.
Type of Carbon Filter
Generally there are two types of carbon filtration: granular activated carbon and carbon blocks. Activated carbon has a slightly positive charge so it can attract dirt, but carbon blocks have a higher contamination removal ratio. However, there are many factors that affect this rate, including the amount of carbon in the unit, the flow of water, the length of time the contaminants spend contact with carbon and particle size. Carbon can remove particles measuring 50 micrometers to 0.5 micrometers.
Carbon Filter Works
Carbon Filters are very effective for removing a number of hazardous chemicals. These include chlorine, benzene, radon, trihalomethane solvents, volatile organic chemicals such as pesticides and herbicides and hundreds of other man-made chemicals that may come into contact with tap water when going through the system. In addition, the filter removes bad taste and smell from water.
