How It Works Inside Your Water Purifier
Role in the Purification Chain
Municipal water contains free chlorine added to kill bacteria in pipelines. However, chlorine oxidizes and eats permanent holes into Thin-Film Composite RO membranes. This high-iodine coconut carbon cartridge acts as a chemical sponge, adsorbing chlorine and volatile organic compounds completely.
Physical & Mechanical Principle
Packed with acid-washed, dust-free virgin coconut shell activated carbon with an Iodine Value of ~1000 mg/g. Millions of microscopic micro-pores provide over 1,000 square meters of chemical adsorption surface per gram of media.

How to Spot Genuine vs Local Copies
The Unwashed Black Water Trap
Cheap duplicate carbon filters are packed with unwashed industrial charcoal. When installed without pre-flushing, a blast of pitch-black carbon dust shoots straight into the brand new membrane, choking it permanently in the first 10 minutes.
Always pre-flush any new carbon cartridge into a bucket for 30 seconds until water runs crystal clear before connecting its outlet pipe to the membrane.
5-Minute Step-by-Step DIY Installation
Disconnect Old Carbon
Push collet ring inward and pull out 1/4" tubes from both ends.
Connect Inlet Pipe Only
Push the inlet pipe from the sediment filter firmly into the new carbon cartridge inlet.
Pre-Flush Into Bucket
Hold outlet over a bowl or bucket and turn on water for 30 seconds to flush initial carbon dust.
Connect Outlet Pipe
Once water flows crystal clear, push the outlet tube heading towards the pump/membrane.
Check Connections
Ensure tubes are inserted a full 15mm past the O-rings and inspect for dry operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does initial water from a carbon filter look black?
Tiny microscopic carbon dust particles are natural in new coconut carbon. Flushing for 30 seconds into a bucket completely clears this dust.
How does a carbon filter protect my RO membrane?
Chlorine chemically oxidizes polyamide membranes, widening their pores and allowing salts into your drinking glass. Carbon removes 100% of free chlorine.
