The activated carbon granulate post-filter cartridge fits all reverse osmosis systems as a replacement filter for the existing post-activated carbon filter. It serves as a post-filter and has a 1/4" internal thread on both sides. This cartridge filters the following from your drinking water: ozone, pesticides, rust, lime, chlorine, and reduces the concentration of heavy metals such as lead and copper. Activated carbon is characterized by its high efficiency and is used industrially, for example. The water used there is first treated with activated carbon before it enters our food supply because activated carbon works very reliably and filters out most of the toxins.

Cartridge lifespan

In a household of four people, such a cartridge lasts about 9 months with an average water consumption; after that, it can no longer adsorb the aforementioned toxins from the water. However, the legislator specifies other timeframes in which these cartridges must be replaced. According to DIN 1988, it is stipulated that all cartridges must be renewed every 6 months, otherwise there is a risk of bacterial contamination.

Differences from other activated carbon cartridges

These filter cartridges are also referred to as post-activated carbon and are used in reverse osmosis filter systems alongside granulated activated carbon filters and block activated carbon. All filter cartridges are, of course, available in the usual high quality.
