Carbon water filter cartridges can remove most of the impurities and contaminants in city water like free Chlorine, Odor, Bad Taste and potential hazardous chemicals.
Of all carbon water filter cartridges, CTO and GAC are two mostly-used carbon water filters which are made of carbon block or granular activated carbon. To make it easily understand, the following parts show the good points and defects of the two kinds of carbon water filter cartridges.
CTO Carbon Water Filter Cartridge
High quality activated carbon used in this carbon water filter cartridge has an excellent adsorption effect to free Chlorine, odor as well as filter out organic compounds. Moreover, coconut shell carbon water filter cartridges remove THM’s and some other Chemical substances better. CTO carbon water filters have small water flow rate and long filtration life compared with GAC cartridges.
GAC Carbon Water Filter Cartridge
Using NSF certified granular activated carbon as raw materials, GAC carbon water filter cartridges is good at removing objectionable tastes, Chlorine, unpleasant odor, lead and microorganisms. The carbon the filter cartridge used has been processed by acid-washing and wind-selection and end caps of this carbon water filter cartridges are fixed with special PP layer instead of general non-woven cloth. No carbon fines releasing from the filter cartridge while keeps a high water flow rate as the same time.
