The Carbon Block Filter uses high-grade coconut shell activated carbon that is NSF certified. Coconut shell activated carbon has extremely high adsorption capacity and stability due to its unique physical and chemical properties. Its porous structure greatly increases the surface area of the activated carbon, which can more effectively adsorb residual chlorine, THMs and other organic pollutants in the water. This choice of activated carbon not only improves the adsorption efficiency of the filter, but also ensures a significant improvement in water quality.
In addition to activated carbon, the KH series Carbon Block Filter also uses food-grade UHMWPE as a bonding material. This material not only meets food-grade safety standards, but also has good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. It can firmly bind the activated carbon particles together to form a stable filter layer, thereby extending the service life of the filter and improving its filtration efficiency.
In addition to activated carbon and bonding materials, the KH series Carbon Block Filter also uses a special resin formula. This resin formula has a specific adsorption capacity and can effectively remove harmful substances such as lead and cryptosporidiosis in water. Lead is a common heavy metal pollutant that poses a serious threat to human health; while Cryptosporidium is a tiny parasite that is difficult to remove by conventional filtration methods. The application of a special resin formula makes the KH series Carbon Block Filter perform well in removing these harmful substances.
A sufficient filtration area is designed inside the filter to ensure that the water flow has enough time for adsorption and filtration when passing through the activated carbon layer. This not only improves the filtration efficiency, but also prolongs the service life of the activated carbon. The housing and seals of the filter are made of high-quality materials with good sealing performance. This prevents external pollutants from entering the interior of the filter and prevents the internal activated carbon particles from leaking into the water. This ensures the stability of the filter and the cleanliness of the water quality. The filter housing and other parts are made of corrosion-resistant, non-toxic and odor-free materials. This avoids secondary pollution of water quality caused by housing material problems and ensures the safety of drinking water.
In order to ensure the continued effective operation of the KH series Carbon Block Filter and the clean and safe water quality, regular maintenance and replacement are essential. Although the activated carbon filter element itself has a certain self-cleaning ability, some impurities and dirt may adhere to the surface of the filter element over time. Therefore, it is necessary to perform backwashing and forward washing operations regularly. Backwashing can remove impurities and dirt attached to the surface of the activated carbon and restore the filtering performance of the filter element; while forward washing can ensure that the filter can provide clean water when it is reactivated after a long period of shutdown.
Depending on the different water quality and usage of the inlet water, the filter element of the KH series Carbon Block Filter needs to be replaced regularly. The replacement cycle of the filter element may vary depending on the water quality, but it is generally recommended to replace it according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Regular replacement of the filter element can ensure the continued effectiveness of the filter and the clean and safe water quality. At the same time, the replaced old filter element should be disposed of in accordance with relevant regulations to avoid pollution to the environment.
