Coconut Activated Carbon

Our core activated carbon ingredient is sourced from Jacobi Carbons because they are world renowned for producing exceptionally high quality coconut activated carbon products. Jacobi owns their own coconut plantation and are able to control every step of production to final product bagging. Their exceptional quality means more water can pass through their media while still producing beyond standard clean water for point-of-entry (large filtration tanks) and point-of-use (smaller filtration tank for direct consumption).

Filter, Reduce, Adsorb chlorine, chloramine, hydrogen sulfide, organic compounds, chlorinated by-products (chloroform, trihalomethanes (THM’s), and many others), taste, odor, and so much more.

What Does Activated Carbon Adsorb?

Organic Compounds

highly effective at removing organic contaminants:

Pesticides & herbicides (Atrazine, Glyphosate (Roundup), 2,4-D)
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – solvents, fuels, industrial chemicals (Benzene, Toluene, Xylene,
Formaldehyde, Acetone, Petroleum hydrocarbons). Pharmaceutical Residues (Antibiotics, Hormones (estrogen, BPA), Painkillers (ibuprofen, acetaminophen))
Disinfection byproducts like Trihalomethanes (THMs) and Haloacetic acids (HAAs)
Chlorine-based compounds (sodium hypochlorite, chloramines)
Ozone (O₃) – breaks down organic contaminants
Total Organic Carbon (TOCs) – decaying plant/animal matter

Chlorine

Removes chlorine taste and odor from water.

Heavy Metals (Under Certain Conditions)

While not all heavy metals bind easily, activated carbon can adsorb:

Mercury
Lead (Pb) – especially when combined with other media like KDF
Cadmium (Cd)
Copper (Cu)
Nickel (Ni)
Chromium (Cr) – depends on oxidation state
Arsenic (As) – limited effectiveness (works better with iron-enhanced carbon)

Odors & Gases

Eliminates hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell)

Sediment & Microscopic Impurities

Filters out fine particles, residual disinfectants, and turbidity, rust and silt

Microorganisms (Indirectly)

Activated carbon does not kill bacteria/viruses, but it can:

Remove organic matter that bacteria feed on
Improve the effectiveness of UV or other disinfection methods

Jacobi Activated Carbon is renowned for their exceptional water purification performance. Its advanced formulation combines cutting-edge technology to deliver unmatched adsorption efficiency, effectively eliminating organic pollutants, unpleasant tastes, and odors from water.

Key Advantages over other activated carbon suppliers and brands:
High Adsorption Capacity – Optimized pore structure and density maximize contaminant removal, targeting:

Low molecular weight organic compounds
Rapid Dechlorination – Quickly neutralizes chlorine and free chlorine for cleaner, safer water.
Low Turbidity Output – Ensures crystal-clear filtered water with minimal particulates.
Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S)

Activated Carbon has an astonishing adsorption power: a teaspoon has more surface area than a football field. This incredible material is packed with microscopic pores, making it one of the most effective adsorption agents in the world. Its highly porous structure allows it to attract and hold molecules through adsorption.

**What Activated Carbon Does Not Remove Effectively**

Dissolved salts (e.g., sodium, fluoride, nitrates – requires reverse osmosis)
Hard water minerals (calcium, magnesium – needs a water softener)
Most viruses & bacteria (requires UV, boiling, or chemical disinfection)

For best results, combine activated carbon with other filtration methods (KDF, reverse osmosis, or ceramic filters) to target a broader range of contaminants.

Our philosophy is to foster a strong, holistic association between the vital biological benefits of clean water and the critical importance of preventing the damage dirty water causes to homes and businesses plumbing and support equipment.
