Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Filters - (72" High)
Achieve superior removal of dissolved contaminants, chlorine, and odors with Ecologix Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filtration systems. Leveraging the powerful absorptive properties of GAC media, these automatic filters effectively target compounds too small for conventional multi-media filtration. Ideal for eliminating chlorine, chloramines, organic chemicals, tastes, odors, halogenated organic compounds, and hydrocarbons, Ecologix GAC systems ensure high-quality water. Featuring a deep 72-inch vertical media bed and a simple, automatic backwash system, they provide extended operational cycles and consistent performance with minimal maintenance.
