Taste and Odor

Activated carbon (AC) filtration is most effective in removing organic contaminants from water. Organic substances are composed of two basic elements, carbon and hydrogen. Because organic chemicals are often responsible for taste, odor, and color problems, AC filtration can generally be used to improve aesthetically objectionable water. AC filtration will also remove chlorine. AC filtration is recognized by the Water Quality Association as an acceptable method to maintain certain drinking water contaminants within the limits of the EPA National Drinking Water Standards.

• "ML"-AC - Activated Carbon media removes taste and odor by adsorption, polishing the water supply, and improving the taste of drinking water, foods, and beverages.

• "AF"-AC - Activated Carbon media removes taste and odor by adsorption, polishing the water supply, and improving the taste of drinking water, foods, and beverages.

• "AFA"-AC - Activated Carbon media removes taste and odor by adsorption, polishing the water supply, and improving the taste of drinking water, foods, and beverages.
