Granular activated carbon is a filtering compound that has the ability to treat water in order to make it potable and suitable for use and consumption.

Activated carbon filter media is often used for filling water treatment filters. It is a granular filter media based on vegetable or mineral carbon that has a high capacity of reaction and absorption with different chemical compounds present in drinking and industrial water. It is used for a wide range of applications.

All our activated carbon filter media are specific for use in water treatment filters. They are loaded in the same way as any conventional sand.

Below, we attach a video of how to load a carbon filter.

Active carbon parameters:

Activated carbon filter media are designed to be placed in filters and have the following characteristics:

• Granular activated carbon with Iodine index - 900-1000 mg/l .
• Hardness - 98% .
• Particle size range - 12x40 .
• Supply - 25 kg bags .
• Suitable for drinking water, well water and waste water treatment .
