VOICE OVER: "Activated carbon filters are a remarkable solution for improving the quality of tap water. But how do they work, and what do they remove? Let's find out."

VOICE OVER: "Activated carbon filters, sometimes known as charcoal filters, contain small pieces of carbon that have been treated to be extremely porous.”

VOICE OVER: "Activated carbon can come from coal, wood, coconut shells and various other sources. The quality of the activated carbon makes a difference. Coconut shells have proven to have the best efficiency. We use activated carbon made from coconut shells from the Swedish company Jacobi"

VOICE OVER: They effectively adsorb contaminants when water flows through the filter, leaving behind cleaner, purer water."

VOICE OVER: "Activated carbon filters can reduce hundreds of substances. They are effective in removing or reducing contaminants like chlorine, its by-products, pesticides, herbicides, nitrate, PFOS, pharmaceuticals and more."

VOICE OVER: "By compressing the activated carbon into a carbon block, even higher levels of filtration can be achieved. EcoPro will remove all microplastics larger than 2-microns, particles that have leached from the pipes and larger size bacteria."

VOICE OVER: "Some special activated carbon filters such as EcoPro can also remove or reduce chloramine, lead, heavy metals, nitrate, lithium, arsenic, asbestos, limescale and fluoride. Always request independent lab tests and certifications from your water filter supplier."

VOICE OVER: "Despite the wide range of contaminants filtered, activated carbon filters do not remove healthy minerals such as magnesium, potassium, sodium, and calcium and therefore doesn’t reduce TDS."

VOICE OVER: "If you're looking for a high-quality, affordable activated carbon water filter, consider EcoPro by TAPP Water."
