A carbon pre-filter is a water filter that uses activated carbon to remove impurities from water. Activated carbon is a form of carbon that has been treated to increase its surface area, which makes it more effective at adsorbing impurities. Carbon pre-filters are often used in conjunction with other water filters, such as reverse osmosis systems, to remove a wide range of contaminants.
Carbon pre-filters can be washed to remove accumulated impurities. Washing a carbon pre-filter is a simple process that can be done at home. To wash a carbon pre-filter, simply remove it from the filter housing and rinse it with clean water. Be sure to rinse the pre-filter thoroughly to remove all of the accumulated impurities. Once the pre-filter has been rinsed, it can be replaced in the filter housing.
