Activated carbon has been used in many of the commercial drinking water filter system to produce drinking water for many centuries. In Europe and the USA, most suppliers of drinking water filters use it as a proven agent for the absorption of organic compounds.
Activated Carbon Filtration is an established technology that works with a drinking water filter system through absorption of the problematic compounds, primarily to remove any nasty tastes or odour a water filter system will also remove many harmful contaminents. AC is a highly porous material with a very large surface area. Chemical pollutants are attracted to and held by the AC's surface. These water filter systems are reccomended type suited for the removal of organic compounds.
In water filter terms, reverse osmosis (or hyper-filtration) is the process of filtering water under pressure through a semi-permeable membrane, allowing water to pass through but rejecting other particles such as bacteria, toxins, salts, and anything bigger than around 150 Daltons.
Water Treatment Plants add chlorine to attempt to remove germs and ensure they do not re-appear while the water travels many miles through the pipes to your household tap. While the amount of chlorine added is regulated and not considered dangerous, it does often cause your tap water to have an un-natural taste of cholorine in your water as it leaves the tap also this chlorine brings with it an odour which is frequently detectable as soon as your turn on the household taps.
Activated carbon in your water filter system can reduce the chlorine found in household tap water by up to 99%. Heavy metals found in tap water, such as lead and copper are normally caused by these metals coming from your household plumbing pipes, by buying a water filter system these are also reduced. The removal of lead and copper which can be found in tap water is desirable to help protect human health.
Water filter systems are capable of reducing or eliminating bad tastes and odours, chlorine, and other organic contaminants to produce significantly improved drinking water. Water filter system cartridges will generally last between 1 and up to 6 months before the needs replacing with a new one. Do be aware though that often a water filter system with meter fitted that are designed to let you know when your water filter cartridge requires replacing are not that accurate, for example if you do not use your water filter jug for a week or two the indicator will still inform you that you need to replace your cartridge around the same length of time as if you had been continually using your water filter jug, for this reason many people prefer to use their own judgement on deciding when to replace the filter cartridge on their drinking water filter system.
