A GAC (Granular Activated Carbon) 10'' Water Filter Cartridge is a type of water filter that contains activated carbon in a granular form. The 10-inch refers to its standard size, which fits most standard-sized water filtration systems. Activated carbon is known for its high adsorption capacity, meaning it can trap contaminants from water as it flows through the cartridge.

Use Cases:

1. Removal of Chlorine and Odor: The GAC filter is highly effective in removing chlorine, which is often present in municipal water supplies, as well as improving the taste and odor of water.
2. Elimination of Organic Compounds: It can also remove organic compounds such as pesticides, herbicides, and volatile organic chemicals (VOCs).
3. Reduction of Sediment: While not primarily a sediment filter, it can still reduce some fine particles like dirt and rust, depending on its pore size.
4. Use in Home Water Purification Systems: Commonly used in home under-sink water filtration systems, reverse osmosis systems, or countertop units for providing clean drinking water.

Its versatility in adsorbing various impurities makes it a popular choice for enhancing water quality.
