Compressed Carbon Block technology is considered the most effective method for reducing contaminants of health concern. Beyond the ordinary compression of carbon, the VOC-1 has gone through the additional process of making the carbon catalytically active, the most proven method for removing chloramines; a clear advantage over ordinary carbon block or conventional (GAC) granulated carbon filter technology. In addition to the removal of chloramines, the VOC-1 effectively removes micro-organisms such as giardia and cryptosporidium cysts, volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) such as pesticides and herbicides, disinfectant byproducts, heavy metals, asbestos, particulates, and chlorine taste and odors.

4-Stages of Filtration:

Stage 1 Protective polypropylene netting (filtration of large-size particles {dirt, sediment, rust} etc.)

Stage 2 15 micron bonded polypropylene layer (filtration of medium-size particles)

Stage 3 5 micron melt-blown polypropylene layer (filtration of fine particles)

Stage 4 This final stage is a catalytic carbon block compressed to a 1 micron pore size with radial filtration.

The VOC-1 catalytic carbon water filter is a popular choice for our countertop or undercounter Water Wizard filters. As an alternative, we offer the larger pore sized KDFC cartridge for rustier water systems that can clog the smaller pore sized VOC-1.
