ProActive™ 20 x 50 Granular Activated
Carbon is made from a superior quality anthracite and
bituminous, non-viscous coal. This 20 x 50 mesh carbon is the top of the
line for chlorine reduction and is recommended for cartridge application
or heavy chlorinated water. It is the best carbon we have for removal
or reduction of organic contaminates, odor, taste, color, and turbidity.

Warning
For safety and handling purposes, we recommend appropriate protective
measures when entering a wet vessel containing granular activated
carbon, because wet activated carbon depletes oxygen from air and
therefore, dangerously low levels of oxygen may be encountered. In
such a case, the oxygen level inside the vessel shall be determined
before entering and appropriate protective equipment should be worn
when entering, or leave the vessel open until the oxygen level in
the vessel is normal. |
