FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is the service life of the activated carbon filter, and how to judge the replacement time?The service life of the activated carbon is 1-4 years (depending on the pollutant concentration and usage scenario), and the filter tank can be used for 10-16 years. You can judge the replacement time by the following signs: the filtered water/air has a persistent odor, the effluent residual chlorine exceeds 0.1mg/L, the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet is more than 0.12MPa, or the iodine value of the activated carbon drops below 540mg/g.

Is professional installation required for the activated carbon filter?Residential and small commercial models are equipped with a detailed installation manual, and you can complete the installation by yourself by connecting water/air pipes and fixing the filter body. For large industrial models, we recommend professional installation to ensure the stability and safety of the equipment during operation.
