One Stage Filtration or Two Stage Filtration?

One Stage Filtration with a Sediment Filter If you install only a sediment filter in a water filtration system, it will effectively reduce the presence of dirt, silt, and rust in the water. Sediment filters are designed specifically to remove such particles from the water. However, it’s important to note that sediment filters are limited […]

Why is it necessary to place a sediment filter before a carbon filter in a water filtration system?

It is important to have a sediment filter before the carbon filter in a water filtration system because sediment filters remove larger particles and debris, such as sand, dirt, and rust, from the water. These larger particles can clog the pores of the carbon filter, reducing its effectiveness in removing smaller contaminants, such as chlorine, […]

How do Carbon Filters Remove Chlorine?

How Do Carbon Filters Remove Chlorine?

Carbon filters work by using activated carbon, which is a form of carbon that has been treated to make it more porous and increase its surface area. This increased surface area allows the activated carbon to trap and adsorb certain chemicals and impurities, including chlorine. Chlorine is a highly reactive chemical, and when it comes […]
