FAQs on Carbon Water Filters

What does an activated carbon water filter remove?

Carbon water filters adsorb chemicals from water, particularly chlorine taste and odor, but also herbicides, pesticides, VOCs, and to some degree, PFAs. Because they adsorb and do not filter, they are generally not adequate for removing TDS, minerals, or heavy metals.
A granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is composed of loose carbon granules that have been packed in a cartridge. Water flows steadily through the granules, which adsorb the unwanted contaminants as it passes by. Adsorption is when the unwanted chemicals adhere or stick to the carbon.
Yes, carbon water filters are safe for drinking water and are generally made with organic materials like coconut shell fibers. They are usually made for drinking water purposes and applications, and excel at improving the taste and smell of drinking water.
How often to replace a carbon filter cartridge depends upon water quality, usage, and media type. Typically, a carbon filter should be replaced every 6-12 months. You should replace if you notice particles in water, a change in taste or odor, or a sudden decrease in water flow.
Carbon block filters are composed of powdered activated carbon that has been compressed with heat and pressure into a solid block. GAC is loose powder hard-packed into a cartridge. Block filters offer enhanced filtration and less channeling, while GAC filters offer a higher flow rate.
