GT4-19SMC - 0.5 Micron Surface Modification Coconut Carbon (For Reducing Water Discolouration/Tannin Reduction)
- Ideal for Reducing Tannin Discolouration, Chlorine, Tastes & Odours in Tank** & Raw Water.
Surface Modification Carbon uses a unique blend of highly reactive catalytic coconut carbon with the highest performance reduction technology. SMC filters are the best type of cartridges to reduce water discolouration, including rust and most tannins. Surface Modification Filters are commonly referred to as ‘Tannin Removal Filters’. Also filters Chlorine.
A Note on Treating Tannin:
Tannin removal can be a bit hit and miss - usually carbon will remove most of the tannin, but sometimes it doesn’t. Because of this, we normally recommend doing a small scale “litmus test” with a cheap carbon filter to see if this makes a difference to the colour. If it works, then we can be more certain that you will get a good result with a standard carbon filter, and a great result with this 0.5 Micron SMC Tannin Reduction filter! Please contact us before purchasing this filter if you are unsure about the source of colour in your water, so that we can help you with the right recommendation to get the best result!
Tannin Reduction Filter Combo Example* (For Tank/Bore**) (Recommended Over 50 psi/344 kPa Pump Pressure):
Filter 1: 5 Micron Pleated OR 5 Micron Poly Spun Sediment Filter
Filter 2: 0.5 Micron Tannin Reduction Carbon Block
Filter 3: Ultraviolet Treatment
Pure Coconut Carbon Block Filters are made from a combination of high-performance coconut shell carbon, unique binders and industry leading manufacturing processes to deliver trade quality carbon block filters. They deliver exceptionally low pressure drop while maintaining a high dirt holding capacity with excellent contaminant reduction capabilities.
Pure Carbon Blocks are registered in compliance with NSF/ANSI 42, 53, and 61 for several things, including VOCs, THM’s, Lead & Heavy Metal Reduction, Chloramine Reduction & Chlorine Taste & Odour reduction. This also includes meeting standards of purity & safety of the materials used.
Surface Modification Carbon is a new advancement in carbon block technology. This technology focuses on the absorption factor of coconut carbon to provide the highest rate of removal in a fraction of the contact time usually required by standard GAC filters.
The prestigious SMC 4520-P5 Pure Catalytic Coconut Carbon cartridge boasts the highest absorbance capacity on the market for a cartridge its size. Measured in Chlorine Removal Capacity it handles a whopping 565,000 L of water @ 3ppm Chlorine before falling below the benchmark 85% reduction limit. This filter is jam-packed full of special carbon with the highest density and weight in the Pure Range.
*The golden rule when it comes to tannin is contact time. This is important to note as tannin removal in water is one of the more difficult things to achieve as there are copious amounts of different tannins, all of which react differently to carbon and require different types and blends (such as coal carbon) to produce an effective rate of tannin reduction.
