How often is the filter media replaced in an activated carbon filter?

Feb. 18, 2023

Activated carbon filter is a kind of water treatment equipment, mainly using the rich capillary pores of activated carbon to adsorb and filter large molecules of organic matter, residual chlorine, iron oxides and other colloidal substances in the water, so how often should the filter media in the activated carbon filter be replaced?

As activated carbon filters are used for a long time, it is normal that the adsorption effect of activated carbon filter media will decrease after a period of time. Therefore, it is recommended that the filter media should be checked or replaced every eight months or so, and that the water quality should be kept in mind at all times, and that the filter media in the activated carbon filter should be replaced if the water quality is not up to standard.

The above is an introduction to the replacement time of the filter media in the activated carbon filter. Activated carbon filter as a pre-treatment of water treatment desalination system can adsorb the residual chlorine that cannot be removed in the former filtration, which can effectively ensure the service life of the latter equipment, improve the water quality and prevent pollution, nowadays it has been widely used in various occasions.
