Activated carbon filters

Activated carbon filters

The good quality activated carbon filter material applied removes free chlorine and organic matters present in water, while water is flowing through the activated carbon filter bed, thus providing good quality water. Impurities retained on the filter bed can be removed by backwash, the filter material loosened, and the charge be used further on. After some time, the charge becomes saturated and incapable of absorption, and the activated carbon needs to be replaced (every 1-2 years).
