Specifications Guidelines.
Many bad tastes and/or odors are removed from water using activated carbon filter canisters. They are most often used to
remove a chlorine taste and odor. They can also reduce other undesirable elements from drinking water supplies, such as organic
chemical contaminants and lead.
NOTE:
Small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (noticeable as “rotten egg” odor) may be reduced by taste and odor filters for a short
time, but the carbon media is quickly exhausted. Other water conditioning equipment is usually required for the continuous
treatment of hydrogen sulfide.
