FAQs – Carbon Block Water Filters
Q1. What does a carbon block filter remove from water?
It removes chlorine, chemicals, VOCs, and improves taste and odor in water.
Q2. Can I use these filters in any RO system?
Yes, these filters are compatible with most standard 10” and Big Blue housings.
Q3. How often should carbon block filters be replaced?
Typically every 6 months, or sooner if chlorine levels are high.
Q4. What’s the difference between carbon block and GAC filters?
Carbon block filters are compressed for tighter filtration and longer life. GAC uses loose media for faster chlorine absorption but lower precision.
