Replacement Activated Carbon Filter CB-AF VOC 10 SX 5μm MADE IN USA 320828 Atlas Filtri 10"

Carbon is a fine, odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic black substance in powder form and is an entirely natural product. It is typically produced from coconut shells, wood, sawdust, bamboo, peat, as well as other natural sources (the carbon filters you see here are produced from coconut shells).

Activated carbon is similar to regular carbon but is heated in a controlled environment and in a vacuum. This process gives it an extremely porous surface. These microscopic holes increase the surface area of the carbon, allowing it to bind various substances that come into contact with it—in both gaseous and liquid forms—in quantities multiple times its own weight. One cubic centimeter of activated carbon has the same surface area as 50,000 square meters.

Activated carbon water filters are divided into granular (powder form) and compact form (carbon block). The permeability of the carbon block (how "tight" it is) is measured in microns (μm). The fewer microns a filter has, the "tighter" the filtration it provides.

Compact Activated Carbon:

• Compact activated carbon filters (extruded) are manufactured from activated carbon powder which, under specific processes, creates filters with a single solid mass. The advantage of filters in this category is that they behave as a single body, preventing the escape of activated carbon granules into the water, which occurs with Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filters. Furthermore, their manufacturing technology can produce very dense filters capable of trapping particles as small as 1 μm.

Activated Carbon Function:

• Activated carbon in fiber form and nanometer size (nm) is compressed under specific conditions, creating a very dense mesh with much higher water permeability. This results in the retention of very small particles while minimally reducing water flow and pressure.

*The Filter is certified and complies with NSF/ANSI Standard 42

The Atlas Filtri CB AF VOC 10 SX 5μm Coconut Shell Activated Carbon water filter is made from solid CARBON block, providing high levels of retention for sediments (dirt and suspended particles), pesticides, unpleasant taste and odor, organic chemicals, industrial residues, toxins, and chlorine. The nanofiber manufacturing technology creates very dense filters that trap particles up to 5 μm while minimally reducing water flow and pressure.

Made from coconut shell, it ensures the removal of chlorine and unpleasant taste and odor. It is also ideal for Reverse Osmosis systems because its compact structure prevents the escape of carbon particles, thereby increasing the lifespan of the membrane.
