At Discount Coolers, we use American made carbon filters to improve the quality and taste of water at an affordable price. Want to know a little more about how our filters work? 

Carbon water filtration is a common method used to improve the taste, odor, and quality of drinking water by removing contaminants. This process utilizes activated carbon, which is highly porous and has a large surface area, to adsorb impurities. Here's how it works and what it does:

1. Activated Carbon: This is the primary material used in carbon filtration. It is treated to create a porous surface, which increases its ability to adsorb (not absorb) substances.
2. Adsorption Process: When water passes through the activated carbon filter, contaminants are attracted to and trapped on the surface of the carbon. This process effectively removes or reduces various impurities from the water.

• Chlorine and Chloramines: Effective at reducing chlorine, which is commonly used in municipal water treatment and can affect taste and odor.
• Organic Compounds: Helps remove organic chemicals like pesticides, herbicides, and industrial solvents.
• Bad Taste and Odor: Improves the taste and smell of water by removing substances that cause unpleasant flavors and odors.
• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Reduces VOCs that can contribute to water contamination.
