SUPERPURE 10 inch Slimline Activated Carbon Block CTO Water Filter (3-Pack)

Pack of 3x 5-micron Carbon Block Filters

The SUPERPURE 10 inch Slimline Activated Carbon Block CTO Water Filter (3-Pack) is a handy pack of carbon block filters designed specifically for your Slimline Filter systems. Ideal for “point-of-use” water filters (under sink/ under counter, countertop systems) where fine filtration is crucial.

Carbon Block Filters are made from finely ground activated carbon particles that are bonded together and formed into a solid block under high pressure. They have a uniform structure that's density can vary depending on the manufacturing process. Due to their dense structure, they generally have a slower flow rate but provide more comprehensive contact time, allowing for better contaminant removal. The tight filtration structure also enables the removal of smaller particles and impurities due to the fine micron rating.

Active Carbon is carbon that has been treated with oxygen to make it porous for chemical bondage to occur. The water passes through the filter, allowing the organic materials and chlorine to effectively bond with the carbon molecules, thus removing these from the water.

Activated Carbon has a high surface area, providing a large number of adsorption sites for contaminants; this allows it to effectively adsorb a wide range of impurities, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chlorine and odours from your water. Carbon is particularly effective at removing organic contaminants from water due to its affinity for organic molecules. It can efficiently adsorb organic compounds, such as; pesticides, herbicides, industrial chemicals, and natural organic matter, improving the taste, odour and overall purity of water.

Carbon is effective at removing chlorine and chloramines, which are often added as disinfectants during the water treatment process, carbon effectively adsorbs these disinfectants, reducing their concentration in (often municipal sourced) treated water and improving its overall taste and odour for your enjoyment and consumption.

Why choose Activated Carbon over Standard Carbon?

Activated carbon is a better filtration media than 'regular' carbon due it being more effective at absorbing harmful chemicals and contaminants, whether in water or the human body. The process that Activated carbon undergoes in order to 'activate' it, creates a highly porous carbon structure with a larger surface area than regular carbon. Activated carbon offers multiple health and filtration benifits making it the superior carbon to use in your filtration systems.
