Activated carbon - Top-level basic filtration
Activated carbon is carbon that has been treated to be very porous – it has a huge number of tiny pores that provide a large surface area to mass ratio.
This makes it an excellent adsorbent.
As water flows through activated carbon, chemicals and impurities adhere to its porous surface.
Physical and chemical bonds bind these substances to the carbon, trapping them in the filter.
The process does not change the chemical composition of the water, but effectively removes impurities from it.
Chlorine removal efficiency: 90-99.9%
