GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON (GAC) is made from raw organic materials (such as coconut shells or coal) that are high in carbon. Heat, in the absence of oxygen, is used to increase (activate) the surface area of the carbon; this is why these filters are sometimes referred to as “charcoal” filters. The activated carbon removes certain chemicals that are dissolved in water passing through a filter containing GAC by trapping (adsorbing) the chemical in the GAC

Carbon Backwash Filters
Remove Chlorine & Chloramine, Tastes & Odors for the whole house

BENEFITS:

1. Excellent for use in de-chlorinating water and removing tastes and odors
2. Removes chloramines with the optional Catalytic Carbon upgrade
3. Much longer life and higher flow rates than carbon filter cartridges.
4. Unlike carbon cartridges which can trap sediment and dirt, these systems automatically backwash out trapped sediment, alleviating pressure drop.
5. NSF certified
6. Backwash control valve has fully adjustable backwash and rinse cycles to save water and allow maximized performance.
