Carbon cartridges initially was in granules form, and had been used for centuries to purify water. It works well and is still available in that form, but there is now another choice in carbon filtration. New technology enables manufacturers to produce filters in the form of porous solid blocks, which are superior in every way to filters made of shower filters Manufacturers granular carbon. The latest technology in carbon filters is the so-called modified carbon block (MCB), in which filter blocks are built from fibers in a slurry of carbon particles. Some carbon cartridges have incorporated KDF-55D which is zinc and copper to make them bacteriostatic. That means that bacteria cannot grow inside the filter.There are several other chemicals that manufacturers use to make their filters bacteriostatic, but many of them affect you as well as the bacteria! KDF has a very good record as being the safest agent yet found for keeping bacteria from growing in filters, and it's the only one we sell.Combination of Water Filter CartridgesPlease do not take this lightly; you must always look beyond the water filtration system appearance to determine which one is best for you. No one water filter cartridge can work best for removing all contaminants by it self. It takes a combination of all water filter cartridges to compliment each other to effectively remove sediments, particles, synthetic chemicals, odors and prevent bacteria from growing inside individual water filter cartridge Take your time to look and study the descriptions of each water filter cartridge, understand how the water filter cartridge works before placing your order.
