Water Quality
The recommended number of gallons to use a water filter is usually "best case" and the actual length of time may be much shorter. Since the levels of pollutants in tap water may vary greatly in the United States and even among households, the amount of water in the activated carbon filter will actually change accordingly. Pollutant is a broad term applied to any substance dissolved or suspended in tap water. They can be either beneficial (e.g., minerals) or bad (e.g., harmful chemicals or heavy metals). Activated carbon absorbs many of these pollutants, but the higher content of tap water (or tap water) will greatly shorten the service life of the filter. So, how many gallons of activated carbon filters can be used in the real world? Well, you may have guessed, but the answer is "It depends on the situation.". It depends on your location, tap water quality and usage. Therefore, our best advice is to know your local water:
Is it hard water or soft water (there are many minerals in it)?
Is the content of metals (such as lead, copper, mercury, aluminum, manganese) high?
Is it chlorinated?
Method of making active carbon filter long service life
Clean the activated carbon filter (if possible)
Some activated carbon filters can be cleaned. Their service life can be prolonged by removing surface deposits and dredging clogged pores. Here are some tips on how to clean them without damaging the filter or yourself in the process:
Put on gloves - you are using chemicals in concentrated form, potential biological hazards and other pollutants.
Only use warm water, because hot water will damage some carbon (such as carbon block).
Use a paper towel to remove all surface scum from the plastic housing (inside, top and bottom). This will help remove any biofilm.
Before drinking water, please run the water filter for a period of time to ensure that you do not drink any loose pollutants.
Replace pre filter and sediment filter regularly
Before water reaches the activated carbon filter or block, most whole houses, under sink (some countertops) and reverse osmosis systems have a pre filter and an additional sediment filter. These filters are usually much cheaper than carbon filters, and replacing them more frequently will increase the number of gallons and extend the service life of activated carbon filters. A simple way to determine if a prefilter or sediment filter is clogged is to see if the water pressure in the faucet or on-line gauge begins to drop. If the pressure begins to drop, replace these filters as soon as possible. In addition, if you change the activated carbon, please let us know that we are honeycomb activated carbon manufacturerand( https://www.yrdcarbon.com/products/activated-carbon/honeycomb-activated-carbon.html ) can customize the activated carbon according to your requirements.
Zip the activated carbon filter when leaving
Activated carbon absorbs impurities from water and from air. If you want to leave for a while, you can always put the drained activated carbon filters into a zipper bag to prevent them from absorbing any impurities in the air and make them have a longer service life.
Don’t let them freeze
Your RV, camper or vacation home may have activated carbon filter blocks that may be exposed to freezing temperatures. If the water in the carbon block is frozen, microcracks may be damaged, which will allow the unfiltered water to pass directly through the next use. To avoid this, just drain all the water from the device if you know it won’t be used for a while. Otherwise, reverse the operation and make sure that water is pumped continuously to prevent freezing.
How often should the activated carbon filter be replaced?
Activated carbon filters should always be replaced once they have reached the manufacturer’s recommended service life - be it a certain number of gallons or months. If you know that the water is high in pollutants, ions, minerals or organic materials, you may need to change the filter even earlier. Because of its incredible adsorption capacity, activated carbon is an ideal choice for air and water filters. For more information, please visit our website https://www.yrdcarbon.com/.
