EXTRUDED CARBON BLOCK
Puretec's Extruded Carbon Block filters are an advanced solution for comprehensive water filtration. They are engineered using a high-pressure extrusion process, forming a uniform block of fine activated carbon particles.
The high-quality activated carbon used in these filters is exceptionally porous, providing a large surface area for absorption. Each gram of activated carbon offers a surface area of approximately 1000 m², which significantly contributes to the filters' high contaminant removal efficiency.
These filters can effectively reduce a wide range of contaminants down to a sub-micron level, including chlorine, organic compounds, certain chemicals, and particulates. The reduction of chlorine and organic compounds significantly improves the taste and odor of the water. The filter's dense structure also provides an excellent environment for catalytic reactions to reduce certain chemicals such as chloramines.
The extrusion process used to manufacture these filters ensures a consistent and uniform carbon density. This prevents channeling, a common issue in granular activated carbon filters where water bypasses the filtration media, leading to suboptimal filtration performance.
Puretec Extruded Carbon Block filters are designed to have a low pressure drop while maintaining a high flow rate, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. The filters' durability and long lifespan contribute to a lower overall cost of ownership, as they require fewer replacements compared to other types of filters.
For best results and to maintain the longevity of the filter, it is recommended to regularly check and replace the filter as per the manufacturer's instructions. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, always refer to Puretec's official website or contact their customer service.
