| Granular activated carbon (GAC) filters are used to remove chlorine, pesticides and organics from water. The removal of these type of compounds often improves the taste and odour of the water. There are various different types of carbon but natural coconut shell carbon is deemed one of the best all round performers. When GAC is pressed with a mesh the carbon filter becomes a "block" which both adsorbs the chemicals and acts as a physical sediment filter. |
| Sediment filter cartridges are a cost effective approach to removing particulates in water (turbidity) 0.5 micron and above (bacteria are 0.5 to 5 micron, soils typically 1 to 100 micron). There is often a balance to be taken on choosing a filter which removes very small particles with one which can handle faster flows. |
| This section contains filters that have special properties such as deionization, nitrate or fluoride reduction. |
| In this section we have a range of filters to suit 10" large diameter filter housings commonly known as "big blue", "big white" or jumbo housings. |
| Carbon filters are used primariliy to remove chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOC's), organic impurities and chlorinated hydrocarbons. They also act as a mechanical filter for suspended solids. |
| In this section we have a range of filters to suit 20" large diameter filter housings commonly known as "big blue", "big white" or jumbo housings. |
| These filters can be filled media such as granular carbon or DI resin. They come with a screw cap so can be used over and over again. |
| In this section we have a range of inline filters for various applications in different sizes, media and end fittings. |
| Incorporated into every Omnipure filter body design are engineering features that make Omnipure products the best, most cost-effective inline water filters on the market. For instance, every filter features a patented spring disc that keeps media under ideal pressure and eliminates channeling. Polypropylene inlet and outlet pads prevent media migration that can foul water. Lastly, all Omnipure filter components are friction welded together to eliminate the use of glues or binders that can contaminate drinking water. |
