- Filter Housing: Similar to the housing in other filtration systems, it holds the filter cartridge and provides connections for water inlet and outlet.
- Pre-Carbon Filter Cartridge: This cartridge contains activated carbon, which is highly porous and has a large surface area for adsorption. It effectively removes chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), taste, odor, and other organic contaminants from water. The pre-carbon filter is often the first stage in water filtration to protect subsequent filters from these contaminants and to improve the overall effectiveness of the filtration process.
- End Caps: These are attached to either end of the filter cartridge and serve to seal it within the housing. They usually have integrated gaskets to prevent water from bypassing the filter.
- Center Core: Provides structural support to the filter cartridge and helps maintain its shape.
- Filter Media: Activated carbon is the primary filter media used in pre-carbon filters. It is typically derived from sources such as coconut shell or coal and processed to create a highly porous structure.
- Support Screens or Wraps: These may be included to prevent carbon fines or particles from escaping into the filtered water.
- O-rings: Rubber seals placed around the housing’s ports to prevent leaks.
Overall, the Aqua Power pre-carbon filter efficiently removes impurities from water, ensuring that the water entering the system for further treatment is of high quality. It’s an essential component in many water filtration setups, providing an initial barrier against common contaminants.
