- Activated carbon is manufactured by burning coconut shells.
The filter removes residual chlorine and volatile organic compounds .
• 3rd step : UF membrane filter
- The filter filtrates bacteria and microorganism of 0.2 micrometers and allows minerals to pass.
• 4th step : Post-carbon block filter
