They are similar in design however the block carbon filter (CTO) can reduce water flow but produce a better result and granular carbon filters (GAC) can allow better flow rates however water to channel to a degree making them slightly less effective. Stage 3: Carbon Filters are ideal for reducing odours, taste and chlorine in your water supply, we have options of solid block carbon filters and granular activated carbon filters. While we normally recommend a 1 micron Filter, in some rural applications it is necessary to revert to a 5 micron filter esp where high deposits of silt are coming out from a bore, there information is on the same 1 micron filter page above (just select the 5 micron option), We would recommend installing a 1 micron Filter and if you are finding a significant water pressure drop before 6 months, replace the filter with a 5 micron option.


Stage 1: 20 Micron Pleated - This removes larger particles ler than 20 micron from your water supply, taking out larger items like leaves and physical debris. However if you are storing water onsite then look at the water tank filtration above. Filters Uses and Applications: Water Tank Filtration:įor a standard only roof collection water tank installation we normally recommend using a two stage (stage 1 and 2 below)filter system, this removes all the larger and then smaller particles from the water followed by a Ultra Violet treatment, if you are topping up from a council supply (chlorine) or have an odour rich water supply then add a Carbon Filter (stage 3 below) Town Water Filtration:įor Town Water a single carbon filter (stage 3 below) or a 2 stage system (stage 2 and 3 below) is recommended, this reduces most of the chlorine and chemicals added to the water, an Ultra Violet Treatment system is not essential as the living organisms in the water should be eradicated by the chlorine and council chemicals.
