TAC + Carbon Pre Filter

Compact and economical two stage system with lower flow rates for smaller domestic whole house and hospitality point of use applications.

Stage 1 is a 10 micron activated carbon filter which removes sediment, organics, heavy metals and chemicals – in particular chlorine. This improves the purity, taste and clarity of drinking water. Cartridge should be changed after 60,000 litres or 1 year maximum. 

Stage 2  is a TAC cartridge providing limescale prevention for 2 years before a cartridge change is recommended. 

Benefits of a Carbon Filter

• Particle Filtration of Sediment and Suspended Solids.

• Adsorption of Organics and Heavy Metals. Carbon is a naturally adsorptive media, removing dissolved contaminants from water. When heated to 870°C, during the activation process, millions of tiny micropores are created throughout the structure of the cartridge, attracting large organic molecules and heavy metals to the surface.

• Chemical Reaction with Chlorine. Through chemical interactions with the activated carbon, reactive chlorine molecules are converted to less reactive taste and odour free ions.

• Far greater efficiency and significantly longer life than jug filters. For this unit, you would need 6,000 jug cartridges to filter the same amount of water.
