Description
LIVEPURE carbon block filter cartridge is a type of filter commonly used to remove impurities and contaminants from drinking water. It consists of a cylindrical cartridge filled with activated carbon, which is a highly porous form of carbon that has been treated to increase its surface area and make it highly adsorbent.
Here’s a brief description of the components and function of a Livepure carbon block filter cartridge:
- Cartridge Housing: The cartridge housing is typically made of plastic or other durable materials. It holds the carbon block filter securely in place and provides a connection point for water inlet and outlet.
- Activated Carbon Block: The heart of the filter cartridge is the activated carbon block. It is composed of finely ground activated carbon particles that are bonded together to form a dense, solid block. This structure allows water to pass through while trapping impurities and contaminants within the carbon matrix.
- Filtration Process: As water flows through the carbon block, impurities and contaminants are adsorbed onto the surface of the carbon particles. This includes chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sediment, taste, and odor compounds, as well as certain heavy metals and chemicals.
- Micron Rating: Carbon block filter cartridges are often rated based on their micron rating, which refers to the size of particles they can effectively remove. Common micron ratings range from 0.5 to 10 microns, with smaller numbers indicating finer filtration.
- Flow Rate: The flow rate of a carbon block filter cartridge refers to the rate at which water can pass through the filter while still effectively removing contaminants. Flow rates vary depending on the specific design and size of the cartridge.
- Replacement Schedule: Over time, the activated carbon in the filter cartridge becomes saturated with contaminants, reducing its effectiveness. It’s important to replace the cartridge according to the manufacturer’s recommendations to maintain optimal water quality.
