Centaur® Catalytic Activated Carbon is a relatively new product that is designed to remove certain contaminants that are very difficult to remove from water. These include chloramine, hydrogen sulfide, MTBE, perchlorate, hormone residues, and other hydrophilic chemicals.
Chloramine (which is a mixture of chlorine and ammonia) is now being added to water by many municipalities for disinfection purposes. Chloramine is very persistent in water and very difficult to remove. In sensitive individuals chloramine in bath or shower water can cause skin irritation. Chloramine in drinking water can cause gastric irritation.
These units are designed to remove these stubborn chemicals as well as other easier to remove volatile organic chemicals in whole house applications. They feature high efficiency tanks fitted with premium electronic backwash valves manufactured by Clack Corporation, and the appropriate amount of catalytic activated carbon media for superior performance.
NOTE: Coconut shell or bituminous activated carbons are not suitable for this purpose although they are often sold that way. It would take 5 times as much of even the best of these carbons to match the performance of catalytic activate carbon. Even using catalytic activated carbon, efficient removal of these kinds of contaminants requires system sizes that are double that of normal backwashing carbon units that are used for chemical removal.
