Description:
The Inline Activated Carbon Block K-33 (GAC) is a high-performance filter cartridge that uses activated carbon as the primary filtering medium. It's designed to remove impurities, contaminants, and unwanted substances from the water.
What does it do?
The Inline Activated Carbon Block K-33 (GAC) filter cartridge performs several important functions:
1. Removes impurities and contaminants: The activated carbon blocks absorb and trap impurities, contaminants, and unwanted substances, including:
- Chlorine and chloramines
- Heavy metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic
- Pesticides, herbicides, and other agricultural chemicals
- Pharmaceuticals and personal care products
- VOCs (volatile organic compounds)
2. Improves taste and odor: The activated carbon removes unpleasant tastes and odors from the water, leaving it fresh and clean.
3. Reduces algae growth: The cartridge helps prevent algae growth by removing nutrients that contribute to their development.
4. Protects equipment: By removing impurities and contaminants, the Inline Activated Carbon Block K-33 (GAC) helps protect the more expensive alkaline filters and other equipment from damage.
