How does it work?

Water is forced through the pores of the densely compacted carbon block, where a combination of mechanical filtration, electrokinetic adsorption, and physical/chemical adsorption takes place to reduce or eliminate a wide range of contaminants. Solid carbon block technology, unlike other forms of filtration/purification, can reduce chlorine, taste and odor problems, particulate matter, and a wide range of contaminants of health concern such as cysts, VOCs (pesticides, herbicides, and chemicals), certain endocrine disrupters, trihalomethanes (cancer causing disinfection by-products), heavy metals (lead, mercury), turbidity, and asbestos.
