What is Carbon Filtration and When Do We Use It?

In this video, we'll dive into the world of carbon filtration for water treatment. Carbon filters come in various shapes and sizes, with different types of carbon media such as Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) made from burned bamboo, coconut shells, and various types of coal. These filters work by absorbing contaminants into the millions of micropores within the media, making them especially effective at removing disinfectants, industrial and pharmaceutical pollutants, and particulates. The biggest application for carbon filters is in drinking water systems, where they make the water safer and tastier to drink. It's important to note that carbon is a good food source for bacteria, so it's crucial to replace the filters regularly and employ some form of bacteria treatment downstream. Another application for carbon filtration is removing chlorine and chloramines ahead of Reverse Osmosis treatment, which can damage the membranes. When using carbon filtration, it's important to make sure the media is compatible with the contaminants you're trying to remove and to follow manufacturer instructions when replacing cartridges. Carbon filters aren't a silver bullet solution and don't work once they become exhausted or contaminated with microorganisms.
