why active carbon block water filter is your best choice

All about cartridge water filters and how to use them
A 5 micron carbon block filter is often the filter of choice before a UV light. UV lights must have a minimum 5 micron pre filter to ensure that proper disinfection occurs. By using a carbon block at this stage the taste of the water is also improved. Sometimes a carbon filter is referred to as a "polishing" filter.

Why Active Carbon Block Water Filter Is Your Best Choice
Since the activated carbon attracts negatively charged contaminants- like chlorine benzine and cancer causing chemicals--and the block carbon provides the most effective filter the water filter should be the activated carbon block water filter. Since activated carbon block is not as effective at removing sediment a filter containing the activated carbon block also contains another filter

Sediment Filtration vs Carbon Filters Metro Water Filter
Carbon filters remove sediment but they also remove chlorine volatile organic compounds (VOCs) odors and unpleasant tastes from water. Carbon filters contain activated carbon which is made through a special manufacturing process that creates more bonding sites. As water passes through a carbon filter impurities like VOCs and heavy metals

How Many Microns Should Your Water Filter Be Fresh
The pore size of a filter cartridge is measured in microns. The smaller the micron rating the finer the particulate removed. Which size micron filter you need depends on the size of the smallest particle that needs filtering from your water. A 5-micron filter for example removes particles as small as 5 microns.

GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON (GAC) FACT SHEET
A one cubic ft GAC filter is 7.5 gallons of GAC. A flow of water through that filter at 2.5 gpm has an EBCT of (7.5/2.5) = 3 minutes. Just make sure you use the same volume units to do the calculation. A GAC filter must have sufficient EBCT to do the job plus enough safety margin to cover variations in the quality of the water being treated.

An activated carbon filter works by the law of attraction. When water passes over the positively charged carbon the impurities in the water which have a negative charge will be locked into the activated carbon filter.
