PAC Filter - Hydro

Our PAC Filter, uses the combination of a "Folded Polypropylene Cotton" (5micron) on the outside and a "Powdered Activated Carbon rod" on the inside made from high quality Coconut shells.

The Polypropylene part reduces larger particles of impurities suspended in the water such as:

• Dirt

• Soil

• Sand

• Sediments

• Rust

The Carbon rod absorbs:

• Chlorine

• Disinfection byproducts (e.g., trihalomethanes)

• Organic matter

• Pesticides

• Pharmaceuticals

• Taste-odor compounds,

- as well as some heavy metals such as:

• Lead (Pb)

• Cadmium (Cd)

• Arsenic (As)

• Mercury (Hg)

• Chromium (Cr).

It is very hard to guess how long this filter last before it needs replacement.

It really depends from the quality of the water at your location.

To give you a rough idea, since we test our cartridges in Perth WA, we can say that these cartridges last from 4 to 6 months on average.

We also highly recommend that you change the PAC and CF cartridges at the same time and not beyond the 8th month regardless of their usage.

Some factors to keep in mind that could effect this filters lifespan are:

1) Water quality at your location.

2) How many people in your household use Hydro.

3) How many litres of water does Hydro filter complessively every day.

4) The raw water temperature which should stay between 5-35°C

Hydro cartridges are really simple to install and you won't need to pay a plumber or service guy to do it for you; you just need to unscrew them counterclockwise to remove them and clockwise to mount them back in.
