This replacement coconut carbon is a high quality filtering media. It's a high density filter material with balanced porous structure that creates high filtering performance. It's high quality because it has a great absorption rate to remove contaminants from drinking water. Most common application for granulated activated carbon are removing unpleasant taste and odor from drinking water and chlorine reduction. This media can be backwashed. 5 lbs of coconut carbon GAC is included. IPW Industries Inc's 8x16 Mesh carbon has a very sophisticated control over each aspect of the Activated Carbon produced, such as, : Particle Size (as specified by ASTM, BS, JIS AARL)Particle distribution (across meshes)Activity (as measured by CTC, Butane or Iodine index)DensityHardnessAsh contentImpurity level (controlled through a number of standard washing processes) Features Benefits The adsorptive capacity of coconut shell granular activated carbon (GAC) makes it ideal for removing a variety of contaminants from water, air, liquids and gases. GAC is also an environmentally responsible product that can be reactivated through thermal oxidation and used multiple times for the same application. By varying manufacturing conditions, internal pore structures are created by imparting unique adsorption properties specific to each product type. The choice of product for a specific application will vary due to differing impurities and proprietary process conditions. That means whatever is the granular activated carbon need, CG Carbon has a product engineered specifically to give the best solution. IPW Industries Inc's 8x16 Mesh carbon has a very sophisticated control over each aspect of the Activated Carbon produ Additional Details ------------------------------ Bullet point: OPTIMAL PARTICLE SIZE: This 5lbs. of 8x16 mesh activated carbon flakes is crafted for superior water filtration in whole house water systems, aquariums, water tanks, and air purifiers. Made from coconut shell GAC, the flake size prevents clogging and ensures efficient adsorption. Perfect for removing odors and impurities, it enhances water and air quality across versatile applications, including air purifier and water filtration.
