Carbon Filtration System

A Breakthrough Detector is provided to determine when the charcoal filter has reached its saturation point. The detector is located between the two filters, and changes to a rusty brown color when the first filter has reached its saturation level. At this point, the top filter is removed; the bottom filter is placed in the top position, and a new filter is placed in the bottom location. Each time the filters are changed, the Breakthrough Detector is discarded and a new detector is installed.

These filters are refillable. The side cover of the filter frame can be removed, the saturated carbon can be poured out, and fresh carbon put in. Each of the filter frames requires 45 pounds of carbon to refill. This carbon is available in bulk from 50-pound bags to 200-pound drums.This saturated carbon is handled as a hazardous waste. Your local waste contractor should be able to dispose of it for you. As an alternative, the company that provided the carbon filter may accept either the saturated carbon or the complete filter for disposal or renewal. They typically prefer to have the customer collect a substantial quantity of carbon or a number of filters before shipping them back to the distributor of the filters.
