Carbon filters are primarily used for water purification, air filtration, and odor removal. They trap contaminants like chlorine, sediments, VOCs, and unpleasant odors, making them ideal for domestic, commercial, and industrial applications.
A carbon filter uses a process called adsorption, where activated carbon traps impurities on its surface. The porous structure of activated carbon provides a large surface area, allowing it to effectively remove contaminants from water or air.
Yes, carbon filters are highly effective in removing chlorine and its byproducts, which improves the taste and smell of water.
The replacement frequency depends on usage and the type of filter. Generally:
• Water filters: Every 6–12 months.
• Air purifiers: Every 3–6 months. Refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific recommendations.
Yes, most carbon filters are eco-friendly as they use activated carbon derived from natural materials like coconut shells, wood, or coal.
No, carbon filters cannot be reused. Once the pores are saturated with impurities, they lose their effectiveness and need replacement.
Yes, carbon filters are safe and improve water quality by removing harmful chemicals and impurities, making the water safe for drinking.
• GAC filters: Contain loose granules of carbon for high-flow applications like air and water filtration.
• Carbon block filters: Compressed into a solid block, providing finer filtration for smaller particles.
Standard carbon filters do not remove bacteria. However, some carbon filters are impregnated with silver or other substances to inhibit bacterial growth.
