Swift Products are Made with an Advance filtration technology which is Environment Friendly and 100% Recyclable. We use Solid Carbon Blocks made of Activated Coconut Carbon which is produced using 100% Recyclable dried coconut shells in an enclosed self-sustaining system

2. Why Activated Carbon Is Used
For Water Purification?
Carbon has been used in our lifestyle for a very long time and has infinite positive
aspects. If you are searching for the Uses of Activated Carbon in the water
purification process then you have come to the right place. Here, you will find "Why is
activated carbon used for water purification
What is Activated Carbon
Activated Carbon is a type of carbon that is frequently used
to filter impurities from water and air, among many other uses.
It does so with such effectiveness that it is the most widely
used purifying agent. It has been treated to have tiny, low-
volume pores, increasing the amount of surface area open to
adsorption.

3. What is Activated Carbon used for?
Active carbon is used in many different
applications including the preparation of
food and beverages, removing odours,
reducing industrial pollutants, purifying
drinking water, and more.
Before answering why activated carbon is
used for water purification, let's discuss
how carbon filters work. Carbon filters act
as barriers by removing contaminants from
your drinking water. The amount of
contamination that activated carbon
removes from the or water depends on
many different factors, including the type
and amount of pollution

4. Why is Activated Carbon Used
for Water Treatment?
Carbon filters work on a principle
called adsorption. In simple words, carbon
attracts impurities to its surface and cleans the
water and makes it fit for drinking.
A carbon filter acts as a parking lot with pores
for parking spaces for contaminants as water
flows through. The tiny pores are measured in
microns. The smaller the micron, the finer the
filtration. Low flow rate and pressure give
contaminants more time to park or adhere to
the carbon. The more contact time water has
with the surface of a carbon filter, the more
efficient the filtration.

5. What does activated carbon remove
from water.
Activated carbon filters reduce a vast number of impurities in drinking
water. Swift Green Filters has filters made by renowned scientists globally
that use activated carbon to reduce 300+ contaminants from water
including:
CTOs: CTOs refers to chlorine, taste and odour that manipulates the taste
and odour of the water.
VOCs: VOCs are the organic compounds that makes the water impure and
harmful for drinking
Heavy Metals: Heavy metals present in water are arsenic, lead, mercury,
copper, etc. and consuming them is dangerous for your liver, kidney,
intestines and can even cause cancer.

6. •Herbicides & Pesticides: Herbicides & Pesticides get mixed in water by
seepage of contaminated surface water, improper disposal, etc.
•Fluoride: Fluoride is one of the most important toxicological environmental
hazards globally and can cause neurological side effects.
•Pharmaceuticals: Pharmaceuticals mixed in water are dangerous for both
aquatic as well as human life. It gets into the water supply via human excretion
and by drugs being flushed down the toilets.
•Viruses: Viruses are harmful for the body as it can cause headaches,
diarrhoea, nausea, etc.
•Chemical Compounds: Some chemical compounds are dangerous for the
human body. It gets into water by industrial discharge, urban activities, etc. It
causes skeletal issues, kidney cancer, testicular cancer, etc.
•Microplastics: Microplastics are minuscule fibres of acrylic, nylon, spandex,
polyester and can cause oxidative stress, DNA damage and inflammation if
consumed by humans
