Carbon Block vs Granular Activated Carbon: Which Wins?

carbon block vs granular activated carbon

Carbon block generally wins for point-of-use drinking water because its compact structure provides finer particle filtration and more uniform carbon contact. Granular activated carbon (GAC) generally wins for whole-house treatment because a correctly sized bed supports higher flow with less pressure loss. The right choice depends on contaminant, flow demand, bed depth, and certification. Key […]
