GAC Carbon Fact: 1 gram of granular activated carbon typically contains at least 800 square feet of effective filtration surface area!
It's often best to precede your carbon system with at least a 20 micron sediment filter to keep the carbon bed as clean as possible for best performance.
Have your service professional properly change your carbon media every 4-5 years, or when taste and odors begin to come back, or when a chlorine test strip indicates chlorine breakthrough.
Chlorine Removal Facts: Typically, 1 cubic foot of GAC carbon will treat 1 million gallons of water with 1 ppm Chlorine, 500,000 gallons of water with 2 ppm chlorine, and 333,300 gallons with 3 ppm chlorine.
