Activated Carbon

Many people may not have heard the term activated carbon before and may be wondering what it is and what it does. Activated carbon is carbon that is known to be designed to be quite porous.  Using this substance in refrigerator filters allows the system to work well and remove impurities easily.  The filter uses a scientific process known as adsorption. Adsorption is a process where dissolved solids adhere to a particular surface. This process is a basic scientific principle that has been in use for many years by scientists. Today, this clean and clear process can be all yours when using the GE GSWF replacement filter.

Filtering Water

As water enters a filter chamber from the refrigerator,  the GE GSWF water filter will start to fill with up with water. The water that goes through the filter is then pushed up by the system inside of it via an inner chamber. This chamber is where the activated carbon is kept. Carbon can then attract all possible undesirable particulate matter that may be lurking in your local area water supply. Impurities that can cause problems include dangerous chlorine and lead. Exposure to lead may lead to all kinds of cognitive problems.

Remove Harmful Chemicals

The water filter can also remove other chemicals such as asbestos, harmful bacteria that can easily make you very ill if ingested, and mold that can get into walls and other spaces in your home. The GE GSWF filter helps you makes sure that all such unwanted materials are captured before they enter your water supply. The particulates are held in the carbon inside of the water filter. This allows the homeowner to enjoy water water that has been passed through the carbon and cleaned before use.  The result of using this process is that any homeowner can have water that is pure and refreshing.
