This Microlene water filter is ideal for commercial ice makers and coffee machines. It is recommended to replace every 6 months and has a recommended flow rate of 4lpm. With 1/4" BSP female threaded connections, this filter is able to reduce scale, chlorine tastes, and odours. Please note that a pressure reducing valve is required for proper functioning.

A GAC water filter is a type of water filtration system that utilizes Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) as the primary medium for filtration. GAC is a highly porous form of carbon with an extensive surface area, making it particularly effective in adsorbing a wide variety of contaminants from water.

The following are some notable characteristics and advantages of GAC water filters:

Chemical Filtration: GAC filters are highly efficient in removing organic contaminants, including chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, herbicides, and various industrial chemicals. The porous nature of GAC enables it to adsorb these substances, significantly reducing their concentration in the water.

Taste and Odor Enhancement: GAC filters can greatly improve both the taste and odor of water by eliminating compounds that contribute to unpleasant flavors and smells, such as hydrogen sulfide, chlorine, and certain organic chemicals.

Chlorine and Chloramine Reduction: GAC filters are particularly effective in reducing the levels of chlorine and chloramine in water. Chlorine is commonly used as a disinfectant in municipal water supplies, while chloramines are alternative disinfectants. Both of these compounds can impart undesirable tastes and odors, which GAC helps to mitigate.

Sediment and Particulate Removal: In addition to chemical filtration, GAC filters can capture and remove various suspended particles like sediment, rust, and sand. While GAC filters do not offer the same level of particulate removal as dedicated sediment filters, they still contribute to improving water clarity.

Cost-Effectiveness and Easy Maintenance: GAC filters are generally affordable and straightforward to maintain. The primary maintenance task is the periodic replacement of the filter cartridge to maintain optimal filtration performance. The frequency of cartridge replacement depends on factors such as water quality and usage patterns.
