Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Filters: Everything You Need to Know
What is a Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filter?
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filters use loose carbon granules to trap and remove contaminants from water. Their high surface area enables effective adsorption of chlorine, organic compounds, and unpleasant odors.
Why are GAC filters important for skin and hair health?
Exposure to chlorine and chemical residues can strip natural oils from your skin and hair, leading to dryness, irritation, and damage. GAC filters minimize these risks, helping you maintain softer skin and shinier hair. Learn more about how chlorine affects your hair and skin.
What does a GAC filter remove?
- Chlorine
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
- Herbicides and pesticides
- Unpleasant tastes and odors
For even more robust filtration, Nordisk Renhet's Nordisk Duschvattenfilter combines GAC with KDF and calcium sulfite technologies.
Do GAC filters remove heavy metals?
GAC filters primarily target chlorine and organic contaminants. For heavy metals like lead and mercury, combining GAC with media like KDF-55 is ideal. Discover our solutions for removing heavy metals from shower water.
