Activated carbon binds dissolved chemical substances. A drinking water treatment system directly where the main water line enters your home (Point-of-Entry) reduces the risk of PFAS contamination of drinking water. A quick solution is also a filter installed at the point of use, for example under the kitchen sink.
Activated carbon granules made from coconut shells bind not only PFAS, but also many other dissolved pollutants (chlorine, pesticides, drug residues, etc.). The pollutants accumulate on the surface of the activated carbon granules (adsorption). Due to countless channel-shaped cavities, activated carbon has an exceptionally large surface area and thus an enormous capacity to retain pollutants. This also reduces the unpleasant taste and odor of drinking water, while retaining valuable minerals and salts.
