This is the final article in a three part series on the use of carbon block in water filters. Several steps comprise the carbon block manufacturing process but the process always starts with the approval of incoming materials. A good manufacturing process should include extractables testing for approval of all materials for use in drinking [...]

This is the second article in a three part series on the use of carbon block in water filters. There are many different types of carbon blocks that can be engineered for specific applications in water filters. The two main methods of block manufacturing are extrusion and moulding. Both methods are equally effective in producing [...]

Over the next three weeks we will be publishing articles on the use of Carbon block in water filters. We will start off with an introduction to the product, followed by an article on carbon block engineering and conclude with a description of the manufacturing process. Carbon block is used in a wide variety of [...]

The Water Filter Company is now proud to be able to offer, amongst its quality range of water filter products, the Doulton ‘Ecofast’. This is Doulton’s answer to the quick-change heads and water filters currently on the market. This particular product, though, has a difference… instead of using disposable cartridges, the Ecofast is a quick-change [...]

Carbon filtration is a method of filtering that makes use of activated carbon to remove contaminants and impurities, utilising chemical adsorption. Each piece of carbon is designed to provide a large section of surface area, in order to allow contaminants the most possible exposure to the filter media. One pound (454g) of activated carbon contains [...]

Scientists at Liverpool University have created what is being called “dry water”, a substance that resembles powdered sugar and has several potential commercial applications. Dry water, which is made up of water droplets coated in silica, has a powerful ability to absorb gases and researchers believe it could be used to mitigate global warming by [...]
