Carbon Cartridges

The primary functions of activated carbon are the removal of chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chlorinated hydrocarbons and organic impurities whilst acting as a mechanical filter for particulate reduction due to the cartridge construction.

Standard applications, although carbon is used for many bespoke purposes, are numerous and as the adsorption capabilities and capacities are explored further, the employment of activated carbon is increasing.

Commonly Used To Reduce: Chlorine, Chloramine, Organics, Taste and odour, Heavy metals and Colour

    Aquafilter AICRO-L4-AQ In-line Granular activated carbon cartridge with KDF® media

    ACC-3 cartridges are designed such that where water flows from bottom to top ensures a long contact time, allowing for maximum adsorption and treatment. KDF utilizing redox reactions, kills or inhibits bacteria growth, converts chlorine to chlorides and removes iron, hydrogen sulphide and heavy metals (lead, arsenic, etc.). Used in combination with activated carbon, KDF can significantly extend the life of filter cartridges. Non-woven polypropylene creates a barrier that prevents filtration media from being washed out.  Aquafilter offers AICRO-L4 In-line Granular activated carbon cartridges (AICRO-4-QM and AICRO-L4) with KDF® media suitable for POU (Point of Use) installations. Through its accurate combination of granular activated carbon (GAC) and KDF® media. AICRO-L4 cartridges reduce the concentration of chlorine, VOC’s, hydrogen sulphide, heavy metals such as, iron, copper, lead, mercury and arsenic.. AICRO-L4 series improves the taste and odour of your drinking water and KDF® media extends the service life of your cartridge, providing a continuous supply of fresh and clean drinking water.
