How is an activated carbon block made? An activated carbon block work by trapping impurities on its surface. Activated carbon is produced through a process that involves the exposure of carbon to extremely high temperatures, then washing it with chemicals or acid, which causes the activated carbon to develop an electrical charge. This activated carbon has billions of tiny pores in each block that attract, hold and "punch" out any toxins until it is saturated. That means activated carbon filters must be replaced or "topped-up" on a regular schedule to ensure that impurities don't leach back into the water supply. The activation process increases the surface area of activated charcoal by up to 350 times, making activated carbon highly adsorptive....

So what does all this mean and why is it important. What is alkaline water? Alkaline water is water with a PH level between 8 and 9. Spring water with a high mineral content will have this range of PH values. Pure water has a PH of 7, and in the natural environment runs over rocks and mineral deposits which then dissolve in the...
