PFAS-C filters contain high-iodine-index activated carbon capable of absorbing PFAS (PFOA, PFNA, PFDA, PFOS, PFHpA, PFHxS, PFBS), the perfluoroalkyl substances sometimes found in water.
The carbon powder in these filters is sintered with polymeric binders under high pressure and temperature. This ensures uniform porosity and a filtration rating of 5 microns, which is particularly suitable for removing PFAS and micropollutants (such as trihalomethanes), as well as eliminating unwanted tastes and odours, such as that of chlorine.
Here’s what the PFAS-C filter removes:
Features:
• Maximum PFAS removal efficiency;
• Maximum safety and filtration efficiency;
• Minimal pressure drop and maximum flow rate;
• High adsorption capacity.

* Nominal capacity with total PFAS contaminant level of 0.50 μg/l.
* Flow rate may vary depending on inlet pressure.
Warnings:
- Start-up: We recommend running water through the filter at maximum pressure and flow rate for 5 minutes to allow any air trapped in the cartridge to be purged.
- Cartridge replacement: We recommend replacing the unit annually and/or every 6 months, when its service life has expired and when a significant increase in PFAS levels is detected in the water.
- This unit requires regular maintenance to ensure the treated water meets drinking water standards and to maintain the performance improvements as stated by the manufacturer. Do not use with non-potable water. After long periods of inactivity (3–4 weeks), thoroughly sanitise the plumbing system downstream of the filter or replace the filter.
