Features & Information
Designed for drinking water treatment and beverage applications, the SCCB combines high-quality coconut shell activated carbon with sediment filtration to improve overall water quality. It effectively reduces chlorine, unwanted tastes and odours while capturing fine particulate down to 5 µm.
FAQs - SCCB
Refers to the distinctive flavour and smell associated with chlorine in water. Chlorine is commonly used as a disinfectant in water treatment processes to kill bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms. While chlorine is effective in reducing waterborne pathogens it can leave a residual taste (often described as a bleach-like or chemical flavour) and odour in the treated water.
Removing chlorine from water is often desired for several reasons:
- Taste and Odour: chlorine causes an unpleasant taste and odour in water.
- Beverage and Food Quality: natural flavours and characteristics are compromised by the presence of chlorine, specifically yeast.
- Cosmetic and Aesthetics: Chlorine can strip the natural oils from the skin and hair, leading to dryness and potential damage.
- Disinfection Byproducts: Chlorine can react with naturally occurring organic matter in water, forming disinfection byproducts such as trihalomethane and halo-acetic acids. Long-term exposure has been associated with potential health risks, such as cancer.
The SCCB cartridge offers moderate chlorine reduction efficiency when compared to other cartridges in the product line. It compromises somewhat on chlorine reduction levels in order to prioritise cost-effectiveness.
The SCCB cartridge is a specialised filtration cartridge designed for drinking water treatment and beverage applications, making it an ideal choice where the quality and taste of the final water are important.
