Activate carbon

GAC is used for both removing organic constituents and residual disinfectants (such as chlorine and

Chloramines) from water. GAC media is made from coal, nutshells or wood. Activated carbon removes

residual chlorine and chloramines by a chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons from the

Surface of the GAC to the residual chlorine or chloramines. The chlorine or chloramines ends up as chloride ion that is no longer an oxidizer
