Filter Media 1 cu/ft Activated Carbon 12/40 Mesh
Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal or activated coal, is a form of carbon that has been processed to make it extremely porous and thus to have a very large surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions. Due to its high degree of microporosity, just one gram of activated carbon has a surface area of approximately 500 m2 (or about 217 tennis courts). Carbon absorbs organic compounds which produce taste, odor, color or toxicity and reduces free chlorine.
