Activated Carbon filters are used to reduce chlorine, organics, color, tannin, objectionable tastes and odors from municipal and industrial water supplies. Multi-Media Filtration is effective in removing dirt, silt, rust, and other suspended particles from water to a level of approx. 5 to 15 microns.

A filter with granular activated carbon (GAC) is a proven option to remove certain chemicals, particularly organic chemicals, from water. GAC filters also can be used to remove chemicals that give objectionable odors or tastes to water such as hydrogen sulfide (rotten eggs odor) or chlorine.
