Dechlorinators

During the initial period of using an activated carbon filter, it is necessary to discharge a certain volume of water (0.5 to 1 filter volume) before starting operation.
The reason for this is the appearance of black water due to the release of the finest particles from the filter media. As water flows through the media, particle abrasion occurs, which causes further fragmentation of the particles. At the same time, suspended solids settle on the surface of the filter media. These deposits are removed by backwashing. Rinsing should be continued until the water becomes clear.

The activated carbon filter is non-regenerable.
Its total capacity depends on the quality of the incoming water. Due to the passage of large volumes of water through the filter, there is a realistic possibility of bacterial colonization. Since activated carbon is, by its nature, a nutrient-rich medium for bacterial growth, prolonged use of the filter may lead to intensive bacterial development and potential contamination of downstream filters.

Installation of this filter provides the following benefits:

– Significantly improved water quality compared to the existing condition
– Removal (degradation) of chlorine and odor from water, restoring its natural taste
– Elimination of potentially present heavy metals, phenols, detergents, and trihalomethanes
– Removal of color, turbidity, and suspended particles from the water
– Ensured continuous water quality output even in cases of accidental contamination, high chlorine doses, network failures, or sediment disturbances

In other words, all impurities will be retained (adsorbed) by the filter.
