WHAT FILTERS DO…WHAT FILTERS DON’T DO

CARBON FILTRATION

  • Used for centuries – discovered by sailors when water stored in charred barrels stayed fresh longer
  • A good carbon filter will remove
    • Some pesticides
    • Industrial chemicals
    • Chlorine
    • Some but not all heavy metals
    • Carbon filters do not remove
      • Pathogens
      • Asbestos
      • Fluoride
      • Nitrates and other salts
      • Most inorganic chemicals
      • Most common types of carbon filters
        • Granular activated carbon allows for better water pressure into the home, but can cause channeling wherein water no longer comes into contact with the carbon, resulting in unfiltered water.
        • Carbon block – carbon compressed into a block.  Generally the most effective type of carbon filter.  Known to filter all particles down to .4 microns, thus filtering cryptosporidium and Giardia, biological pathogens.
      • Recommendation – carbon is best used as a filtering agent in combination with other technologies that can compensate for its weaknesses.  Carbon should not be used alone, as carbon is a breeding ground for bacteria.
