GAC Series Filters
Removal of Dissolved Compounds by Adsorption
Rain Bird GAC-Series Granular Activated Carbon filtration systems utilize the adsorptive qualities of the media to remove highly dispersed compounds from water sources which are too small for removal with standard multi-media filtration technology. These automatic filtration systems are extremely effective in removing chlorine and chlorine related compounds, organic chemicals, tastes and odors, halogenated organic compounds, hydrocarbons and other highly dispersed contaminants. Rain Bird GAC filtration systems utilize a vertical side shell depth of 72 inches. All Rain Bird industrial media filters utilize our simple backwash system for ease of operation and consistent water quality. The automatically controlled filter system operates for extended periods of time prior to a short backwash cycle.
Applications
- Removal of chlorines, organic chemicals, taste and odor, halogenated organic compounds, hydrocarbons or other highly dispersed contaminants
- Polishing filter for contaminants not removed by other filtration systems
- 80 psi standard operating pressure (high pressure systems available)
- Flow ranges from 5 gpm and up
