What Is Activated Carbon Treatment?
Activated carbon treatment is a water filtration system that removes unpleasant tastes and odors, organic compounds, lead and copper, chlorination byproducts, cleaning solvents, and some pesticides from the water you use every day.
The filtering substance itself is made of black granules of coal, wood, nutshells, and other carbon-rich materials, which absorb contaminants, removing them from water.
How Does Activated Carbon Treatment Work?
When water flows through carbon, molecules are attracted to the carbon and stick to it. This process is called adsorption, and it removes contaminants from the water flow. Because carbon “holds on” to contaminants, carbon filters must be replaced regularly.
In your home, you should replace your carbon filter every year.
Whether you need to install an activated carbon treatment system or replace your filter, call McKeown Plumbing for assistance.
What Are the Benefits and Drawbacks of Activated Carbon Treatment?
Carbon filtration systems are relatively inexpensive to purchase and maintain. The process does not waste water and can protect against unwanted contaminants throughout your entire home. Additionally, carbon-rich materials are natural and renewable, so activated carbon treatment is environmentally responsible.
Benefits of activated carbon treatment include:
- Filters the most dangerous contaminants
- Limited expenses
- Doesn’t require electricity
- Customization is possible
- Doesn’t strip water of minerals or other healthy nutrients
For your filtration system to be effective, you must replace the filter regularly. Drawbacks of activated carbon treatment include:
Filters can grow bacteria if not flushed and changed regularly
Carbon filters do not remove certain pollutants (including toxic minerals, fluorides, nitrates and nitrites, and a range of microorganisms)
Choosing the carbon filtration system that works best for your home can help you minimize the drawbacks and maximize the benefits. Call (949) 234-6001 today or contact us online to schedule your service today!
