Does a carbon filter replace a sand filter?

No. Carbon is for adsorption; sand is for particulate removal. They are usually used in series.

How long does GAC last?

Service life depends on chlorine/organic load and flow. Change-out is based on outlet quality and performance monitoring.

Carbon filter

Activated carbon pressure filters for water quality improvement

A carbon filter uses granular activated carbon (GAC) to adsorb free chlorine, taste/odor compounds, and part of dissolved organics. It is typically a metal pressure vessel placed after a sand filter.

Behineh Ab builds carbon filters with carbon steel or stainless shells, GAC beds, distributors, and service/backwash connections matched to flow and inlet chemistry.

Typical applications include drinking water polishing, RO chlorine protection, food/pharma utilities, and process water treatment.
