First
Stage: The first stage filter consists of one 10-inch 1-micron
carbon sediment pre-filter made of a combination of cellulose and
carbon impregnated fibers. This precise design gives efficiencies
of at least 88%.
Second
Stage: The
second stage uses a molded modified block carbon filter, which
consists of one 10-inch molded modified block carbon filter made
up of a medium density powdered activated carbon cartridge. Typically
this filter removes 95% of free chlorine and a very high level
of volatile organic chemicals. Because this is the second stage
of the filtering process, this filter performs 2½ to 3
times better than the specifications call for. |
