Replacement filters for sinks, flick mix, caravans, coffee, ice machines etc.
HOW DOES IT WORK
There are two principals’ the mechanism by which activated carbon removes contaminants from water. : Adsorption, and catalytic reduction, a process involving the attraction of negatively – charged contaminant icon to the positively – charged activated carbon. Organic compounds are removed be absorption and residual disinfectants such as chlorine and chloramines are removed by catalytic reduction.
Carbon is highly porous and g of carbon contains a surface area of roughly 0.5km2 and can absorb literally thousands of different chemicals. Activated carbon has a slightly electro-positive charge added to it, as the water passes over the positively charged carbon surface, the negative icons of the contaminants are drawn to the surface of the carbon granules.
Activated carbon filters remove / reduce chlorine, many volatile organic compounds (VOC), pesticides and herbicides, blue green algae, organics sediment, rust, mud, slime, sand as well as benzene, Trihalomethane (THM) compounds, radon, solvents and hundreds of other man- made chemicals found in tap water. Some activated carbon filters are moderately effective at removing some, but not all heavy metals. Some iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide will also be removed by these higher quality activated carbon filters.
Sediment pre-filters also prolong the activate carbon cartridge life by eliminating gross contaminants that would otherwise clog the activated plate at the bottom absorbs bacteria, including e-coli, and microbial cysts like giardia and cryptosporidium.
Activated carbon filters are usually rated by size of the particles they are able to remove, measured in microns, and generally range from microns (least effective) down to 0.5 microns (most effective) which is what is used in our filters.
The most common carbon types used in water filtration are bituminous, wood and coconut shell carbons. While coconut shell carbon typically costs % more than others it is generally regarded as the most effective of the three.
Activated carbon filters require very little maintenance, however, it is very important to ensure that filter replacement schedules are followed to ensure proper filtration at all times. Do not wait for bad taste and odors to return to the water before deciding the filter needs replacement as this is an indication that the filter is no longer able to completely remove contaminants and that it has surpassed its service life .
ARE YOU DRINKING ENOUGH WATER?.
Our body consists for a large part of water. It is important to drink enough water so you won’t dehydrate in the warm summer months
WHEN YOU ARE DEHYDRATED
When you are sweating profoundly your body will lose a lot of water but also the essential salts. You need to drink enough water so the body can perform well, physically and mentally. By replacing the lost fluids and salts, you won’t dehydrate.
NOW YOU PROBABLY WONDER, DOES OUR BODY NEED WATER?.
The answer to that is YES, we do. Because our body consists of approximately % water, it is very important when you lose fluids to replace the lost fluids in your body. How much water should I drink each day?. Recommended is to drink 2 litres of water daily which is average.
If you a person who is physically very active during the day, you need to drink more. But don’t underestimate our climate and what it can do to you. A short walk or a bike ride in hot humid weather can cause problems.
WHAT ARE THE INDICATIONS OF DEHYDRATION?.
Normally when you mouth starts to feel dry or you are thirsty, is one of the early signs that your body needs some fluids. At this stage it doesn’t mean you are dehydrated.
If you body starts to have systems like dizziness or cramped legs.
But also our skin needs water to keep itself elastics, soft and wrinkle – free. The benefits of drinking water, there are many reasons to keep your body hydrated, but make sure that if you get dehydrated cool yourself down by drinking water.
What you can do to replace lost fluids in time?. You always have to make sure that you drink water on regular intervals. If you are thirsty, you are basically too late, an easy way to fix this is, whenever you are about to eat a snack, get a glass of water as well.
I drink that much coffee/ tea throughout the day, I get enough fluids a day?. NO defiantly No, water can’t be replaced by soft drinks, coffee etc...
Sometimes they do more harm than good. The best way to replenish your body is to drink water.
