Great informative information. I always wondered how carbon filters worked. Thank you

[@ariftgl]

Wonderful. You explained everything in the easiest way possible. I'm gonna change my 2 years old carbon filter asap. Thanks a lot.

[@jimmurphy5739]

@Toneri Ōtsutsuki Funny you should ask. Answer: Me. We moved from a place where city water was fantastic (Edmonton, in Canada) to a place that wasn't so good and the house had filters. Purely out of ignorance (not willful, but ignorance nonetheless) I didn't understand the ideas behind filtration of water. Videos like this have been a great help so now we change our filters on time and enjoy both good flow rates and great taste. But I recall my eyes being opened about filtration... Yikes!

[@alirezapourasad9153]

Hi That was quite useful. Is there any standard or code that describe GAC usages?

[@waterpurificationproductsi7056]

There are standards that have certain numbers to demonstrate the effectiveness of removals. Iodine Number for organic chemical effectiveness, Peroxide Number for reactivity rate. Molasses Number for color removal And Tannin number for tannin removal. In our area we choose to use a carbon that is decent in all four numbers - not just one or perhaps two.

Thank you so much for detail explanation on carbon filter. But how can we know carbon filter is exhausted??? I don't know exact time to change carbon media. Please share your thoughts

[@taeseong9944]

you have to change your filter every 2-4 weeks

[@pedecia]

@@taeseong9944 2-4 weeks? I was told even 6 months depending on use... Was it false?

[@TL-xv9of]

Best way is to count the gallons that ran through the filter. Second indication is time. I change them at least every six months (refer to the manufacturer specification or local code). Th third indication is reduced flow. With a lot of sediments in the incomming water, the filter might become blocked quite fast. In this case a sediment pre filter might be recommended.

[@neveragain733]

Which order should the carbon and sediment filters be installed? Should the water hit the sediment filter 1st?

Is this filter use for black tea to remove caffeine ?

[@wishbonebrewery]

I'm trying to learn more about Carbon filters (Granular media), just installed 1 for our brewing water to reduce chlorine and make the water taste better etc. I'm currently on the 3rd filter from the supplier and it does indeed remove the chlorine smell but it makes all water smell and taste like soot leaving a powdery feeling in the mouth. So basically it makes our water taste worse than unfiltered and I don't think the manufacturer has a clue. I've already wasted quite a few thousand liters of water flushing it through! Any tips on what carbon filtered water should taste like would be appreciated. I'm in the UK.

[@yellowannie22]

thank you very much for all the information

[@Erbilforever]

Helpful video sir, i have a question: In industrial AC filter, what indicates that its time to wash the filter ?

[@barbaravital62]

Should I remove the mesh and the propylene sheet as you did in the video?

[@TheBostonFern]

When you use activated charcoal for filtering air, it would let out the trapped voc when charcoals are saturated. Does it happen only when all the charcoal are saturated or when part of the charcoal are saturated?

[@OMGFacts00]

hey sir, i was wondering if carbon block is so better then why granular filter is still used or exist in market.

[@rickeydenler2385]

if you are using one of those canisters and you are filtering just drinking water from your Municipal Water Supply how often should you change it

[@keithfillinger3182]

You should go by the manufacturer's recommendation for filter replacement. Also, a reduction in flow or a change in taste is al way tell your filter needs to be replaced.

[@lcjjr.6714]

What micron size should be used for a sediment prefilter for a well water system before the carbon filter? And what micron size should be used for the carbon block filter?

[@arunjain3799]

Take a pre filter - sediment filter of 0.5 - 1 micron, and take carbon activated filter block of 1 micron absolute rating. Thereafter put a post sediment filter of 0.5 micron again before passing that through the ultrafiltration etc.

[@mohdzarif4205]

Hi Sir, im wondering how you insert the carbon? Got video how you do it

[@halo_law]

Thank a lot for ur information

[@Uberdriver79]

Great video...I'm badly needed for for my Water Filter approval. When trying to get approval for a Water Filter approval to sell on Amazon, they keep on saying my listed brand is different to the one I sent to them (Web link of manufacture approval). Which means I need separate approval from those agencies which cost around $10-13K. I need to know are there any other process of getting approval please Not sure anyone can help on this

[@TL-xv9of]

Make sure you buy a good quality certified filter. There are loads of cheap junk filters in the market. I personally prefer products made in the US or Europe.

[@patcarter4554]

Can u poor water on filter to remove dust and contaminants ?

[@Newb118]

Can you use them at home like in a bathroom? With a extraction fan? I have one lying around and wanted to fit a attraction fan for airflow and just though be worth putting this to sone use if safe todo? Surely its better than not having one if they are safe to work like this?

[@TheBostonFern]

If fine charcoals have more filtering capacity, why do manufacturers sell charcoal pellets for air filtering?

[@holg3070]

Thank you!

[@sicknickmusic6821]

no information about why isn't recommended to filter water that is warm with carbon filters? like in the shower head filtration context? Thanksss

Can i use a carbon filter for a whole house filter?

[@curiousgeorge6921]

How about a diy layer of activated charcoal powder and granules will it filter as good as a Berkey or close?

[@rossallen738]

I'm looking at building a purified water system where hose water will go through the carbon, then an RO membrane, and finally a DI tank. How could I make sure that I replace the carbon in time to prevent damage to the RO system? It'll be a pretty quick flow system hoping to get about 1 gallon per minute. I just haven't found a good way to know how long the carbon filter will last...

[@arunjain3799]

You are right. Knowing as to when the filter to be replaced is somewhat tricky. What l do that I keep the filter candle in a transperant housing. When I see that the colour of wrapping of filter turned brown I replace it. One more trick will keep you away from risk and prevent your apprehension of getting the ro membrane damage is that use two carbon activated filter in series and a sediment filter of.05 or 1 micron in between the ro membrane and carbon activated filter.

[@lucindaoconnor6425]

Would you advice I add a inline taste and soft filter to my 4 membranes system. It host the 3 blue filters. Please advice.

[@adityakasar6795]

How much is the life of carbon block filter? How would I know my one is gone?

[@keithfillinger3182]

Each manufacturer should rate them by gallons or months of usage. They typically underestimate the capacity so you do not run out if you follow their guidelines. A change in water taste or a drop in water pressure are signs to replace filters.

[@BARFYADAMS]

Do these work for phthalates

[@JustinCrediblename]

so if I'm using two carbon filters that are rated for 100,000 gallons and I'm using 1 gallon per day, I should still replace it once every year?

[@MyTrevonne]

Depends on the application.

[@JustinCrediblename]

@@MyTrevonne healthy drinking water, filtering tap water

[@FreezingFroggie]

Is it possible that these filters (the small blue one) last up to 2 years? Mine says it lasts 18 months but it has been 2 years and I dont experience any change in the taste or cloudiness at all. I live in another country and it says it has silver resins too. I will probably still change it next month but what always wanted to know what makes filters last longer.

[@arunjain3799]

It is not a good idea to wait for bad taste or colour of water because it is a matter of drinking water. You are going to lose nothing if make a rule to change at least once in six months. Other good idea is to use two in series and replace the previous one in one year when you installed both at the same time. Thereafter when replacing the first one after an year, the new carbon activated filter should be installed at the place of second one and the existing second one should be shifted to the position of first one. Now at the interval of 9 months or one year you can repeat the process.

[@waterpurificationproductsi7056]

Disagree with type of materials used. Coconut carbon has no color removal and is a very slow reactivity carbon thus the need for using twice as much as other carbons to do the same job. In areas of high color like the SE USA it's best to use a different carbon. Carbon that is made for both color and chemical removal and is faster reacting such as lignite coal based is a much better choice.

[@SusanHayes-vx2dq]

Thanks for your input! 😊

[@trollmcclure1884]

What's the blend for lead removal? I need to remove iron too. And what happens when I run let's say phosphoric acid through it? Or a base? What comes out? Does it clean the carbon? Can a filter be revitalised in a low oxygen oven, burnig out all but carbon again? 😃

[@TL-xv9of]

Check out the manufacturers datasheet for the filter to see what the specific capacity of the filter is for certain pollutants. A carbon filter cannot be reactivated, it as to be discarded after usage.

[@KayanjaRonald-KR7]

Can carbon filters also filter out microplastics from water?

[@Peyton_Edwards]

Activated carbon is suppose to

[@ShrimpCracka]

a bit, but some are as small as 0.3 microns so reverse osmosis would be the most effective method

[@MarkBarners]

Does it remove pfas?

[@akosv96]

Probably not. Pfas by definition are "non stick" since they are used for the pans. It's not gonna adsorb to charcoal I think. Reverse osmosis will work perfectly against it.

[@robertreyes3068]

What are the risks of activated carbon? Lung damage, olfactory fatigue, delayed pulmonary edema may occur with extended periods of overexposure. Activated carbon can remove oxygen from air causing a severe hazard to workers in enclosed or confined spaces.

[@cmb119]

Is fluoride filtered by this?

[@alexgunawan98]

Master, does it have any effect on Ph value or Water parameter ? 🙏🏼🙇🏻

[@sixpackbinky]

I need nitrate and nitrite removed plus tetrachloroethylene removed from my water plus aluminum, barium, chromium total,and manganese. The nitrate and nitrates are at levels in violation, so is the tetrachoroethylene. What filters do I need? I know one filter type will not take care of all of them.

[@keithfillinger3182]

I think your best bet is reverse osmosis. They make ion exchange resins for some of those materials, but I am not sure if one of those resins will take care of each type of metal.

Why would they carbon filter alcohol wouldn't it lower the percentage as ethanol is organic

[@xmrich2]

it is a good video

[@robertreyes3068]

What happens when activated carbon gets wet? Wet activated carbon depletes oxygen from the air. Materials allowed to smolder for long periods in enclosed spaces, may produce amounts of carbon monoxide which may reach the lower explosive limit for carbon monoxide of 12.5% in air.
