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.
Organic compounds, VOCs and DBPs
