Carbon adsorption and activated carbon
Carbon adsorption involves attaching molecules to the surface of activated carbon. This process cleans tap water of contaminants, and carbon adsorption is a critical element of the water filters sold by Water Filters Australia.
Carbon adsorption is highly effective in eliminating chemicals such as chlorine and is a key technology found in the cartridges of water filters by Water Filters Australia. The activated carbon has a large surface area and can adsorb various contaminants.
The chlorine molecule attaches to the surface of activated carbon and remains trapped, and does not influence the taste, smell and health of the water you use on a daily basis.
Why is filtering water important?
Access to clean, safe water is essential for maintaining good health and preventing waterborne diseases. Even though tap water in most parts of Australia is treated and disinfected, it may still contain some contaminants.
Removing impurities such as chlorine, bad tastes, odours, sediment particles and cysts (if present) from the water using activated carbon is one of the most successful methods of filtering domestic water.
Filtration ensures the water you drink and cook with is clean and free from any unwanted impurities.

What’s the Difference Between Boiled and Filtered Water?
Boiling is one of the oldest methods of making water safe, and for good reason. It quickly kills most bacteria, viruses and parasites that can be present in a supply. But boiling isn’t the only way people protect their water, and it certainly isn’t the same as filtering. The difference between the two is often misunderstood, and it’s bigger than it first appears.
Spring reset: Why filtered water should be part of your detox
Spring feels like the right time for a reset, which is why detox routines often make their way back into focus. While your efforts might centre on digestion, energy and general wellbeing, what you choose to drink plays a bigger role than you might think. Using filtered water gives your body the cleanest foundation to work from and the best chance of making those efforts count.
This is how often you should change your inline water filter cartridge
What you can’t see in your kitchen often does more work than what’s visible. No, we’re not talking about the fridge’s compressor, but the inline water filter tucked beneath the sink. It connects to your existing supply and uses a replaceable cartridge to clean water as it flows. A common question when considering one is how often the cartridge needs to be changed.
