Activated carbon
filter AK-Z
The activated carbon filter is used to dechlorinate the water. If pos-
sible, the water to be dechlorinated should be free of mechanical
impurities.
Activated carbon is able to react with the available, free chlorine via
surface reaction. The chloride thus produced does not clog up the
activated carbon filter but is discharged with the water. The surface
reaction capacity is reduced over time due to the amount of impuri-
ties present in the water.
For this reason, and to remove any carbon abrasions that might
have occurred, it is essential to backwash the filter on a weekly ba-
sis.
If the residual chlorine concentration exceeds the set admissible
value on leaving the activated carbon filter, the activated carbon
should be replaced. A replacement, however, should take place eve-
ry two years at the latest.
