After installing the new carbon filter cartridge, it is essential to flush the system by running 5 gallons of tap water through it. This process helps remove any fine carbon particles that may be present.What is Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC) and Its Main Purpose?
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is known for its extensive surface area due to its highly porous structure. The effectiveness of GAC filters largely depends on the flow rate and contact time with the water. If the flow rate is too high, the filtration efficiency can drop significantly, potentially to 0%. However, when the flow rate is slow, GAC can outperform many other carbon filtration forms, providing superior filtration efficiency.Advantages of GAC Over Other Forms of Carbon
GAC is particularly effective for reducing taste, odor, and chemical contaminants in water. It is a cost-effective solution that can be reused, making it an economical choice for long-term water filtration needs.Product Specifications:
