What type and size of carbon should be used in the MECKOW Aquapur?
The Activated Carbon included in the unit is specified by us as mesh size PHO 4 x 8 0.05Ag Special which will give the optimum product for dechlorinisation of the filtered water and protection against bacteria build up. For a static, non-backwashed filter this is certainly the best choice. The particle size is the same as the USS Mesh 4.75mm x 2.36mm. No smaller particle size is necessary as we are not filtering the water, only removing residual chlorine. Having the Activated Carbon to this specification ensures an excellent flow rate, the removal of chlorine and sterilization of the filter.
