Carbon Filter – An Indispensable Part Of Any Water Purification Device
Let’s face it. A carbon filter is an indispensable part of any water purification device. It is by far most effective in removing chemicals like pesticides, herbicides and chlorine. There are various other advantages that it has to offer. Read on to find about them as well as about a better alternative.
First things first. Water today is badly polluted. When it is supplied to our homes, it has traces of various contaminants like chlorine, pesticides, herbicides, THMs, VOCs, cysts, lead etc. Consuming such water can lead to multiple diseases including cholera, typhoid and cancer.
Using a water purifier is the best way to safeguard your family from drinking such hazardous water. And this is where a carbon filter can provide best help.
Activated carbon filters employ a granular carbon media bed through which water is made to pass. Carbon exhibits the property of adsorption which means it attracts other particles and attaches them to itself. Now, when water is passing through this bed, the fine particles in it (like pesticides, solvents, VOCs, chlorine) get attached to the carbon bed and thus get removed from water.
Another advantage with these filters is their reasonable cost. They are easy to install, use and maintain too.
So much for the advantages of a carbon filter. Let us take a look at the other side of it.
Accept the fact that more and more contaminants are getting added in water and environment daily. Carbon filtration technique is not good enough for handling them all, especially the tough ones like pharmaceutical drugs and other mineral traces.
What if I tell you that there is a better alternative available?
And that is to use a multi stage water purifier.
It combines the strength of carbon filtration technique with other advanced techniques like sub micron filtration and ion exchange. This gives the best of both worlds. Together they work in tandem to ensure that water produced is 99.9% clean and pure.
They come with an option of installing them over the counter or under the counter and can be installed easily – without the need of explicit plumbing.
The good news is that they are available at a very reasonable price too. If you need more information about these multi block purifiers, visit my website listed below. After all there is nothing like combining the power of carbon filter with other cutting edge techniques.

Type of media to use on a hang on filter?
I have a 55 gallon aquarium and im looking to put one oscar and maybe a pleco in there after i cycle the tank etc. But i have 2 large hang on filters and was wondering what other type of media can i use in them besides carbon because ive been hearing about the HITH and how carbon filters may contribute to the disease. Any advice will be appreciated thank you !
I never heard abut that I will have to look it up.
It is true that he carbon isn't useful after 4-7 days and is a waste of money unless you use it to remove medicines from the tank.
They sell generic filter cartridges the fit in most filters. I think they are called Right Fit, they are much cheaper, but the carbon is in a separate pouch that you have to pour in the cotton filter mesh, If you don't want to use it, or want to save it in case of a medical issue, just don't pour it in.
