Activated Carbon

A significant filtration media to clean water. Quality Counts.

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.

Bamboo Activated Carbon

HALE Filtration takes an unconventional approach to develop holistic approaches to produce clean drinking water from municipal and well water sources. Although coconut activated carbon is a stable filtration media, incorporating bamboo activated carbon into water filtration tanks plays a significant role. Many manufactures seem to overlook the importance of taking a blended approach, even with something a common as activated carbons. The journey bamboo takes from its raw state to activated carbon produces larger pores than coconut husks. These larger pores allows for larger contaminant particles to adsorb onto the bamboo surface area.

Filter, Reduce, Adsorb chlorine, phenol, organic compounds, carbon tetrachloride, Chloroform/ trichloromethane, COD, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total dissolved solids (TDS)

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 and Chloramines

Removes chlorine and chloramine 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 AquaSorb: Superior Chloramine Removal Through Advanced Catalytic Technology

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.

Jacobi AquaSorb sets the industry standard for chloramine (and chlorine) removal through its innovative catalytic carbon technology. Unlike conventional activated carbons that rely solely on physical adsorption, AquaSorb's advanced formulation facilitates catalytic decomposition of chloramines at the carbon surface. This enhanced reaction is enabled by:

A precisely engineered pore structure that maximizes reactive surface area
Optimized surface chemistry that promotes catalytic breakdown
An extensive internal pore network for superior contaminant access

Key Performance Advantages:

Industry-leading chloramine removal through catalytic conversion
Rapid dechlorination of chlorine-based compounds
Exceptionally clear effluent with minimal turbidity
Proven effectiveness across all scales - from residential to municipal systems

By combining catalytic activity with optimized physical properties, the actived carbon we use delivers unmatched performance in chloramine removal while maintaining the clarity and purity of treated water. This makes it the preferred choice for applications where reliable chloramine reduction is critical.

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
