Uses advanced activated carbon technology Used in side-by-side refrigerators - installed in bottom grille Creates better tasting water and ice Inexpensive alternative to factory original part Made with pride in the USA Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for the reduction of chlorine taste and odor IAPMO & UPC Certified When used in the CLCH100-S system, certified by IAPMO R&T to NSF/ANSI 42 for the reduction of Chlorine, Taste & Odor. Also certified to NSF/ANSI 372 for Lead Free compliance. See performance data sheet for individual contaminants and reduction performance. Activated Block Carbon Technology The CLCH100 uses activated block carbon technology. Carbon is one of the most adsorptive substances, and its numerous and microscopic pores make it capable of adsorbing many microscopic contaminants. Adsorption is a chemical bond between the surface of the carbon and a molecule (contaminant). Activated carbon is a carbonaceous, highly porous adsorptive medium that has a complex structure composed primarily of carbon atoms. The networks of pores in activated carbons are channels created within a rigid skeleton of disordered layers of carbon atoms, linked together by chemical bonds, stacked unevenly, creating a highly porous structure between the carbon layers. Activated carbon is able to attract and capture a whole host of contaminants, including chlorine and other organic chemical compounds. Activated carbon means that the carbon has been treated at 1000°C with steam molecules to selectively burn holes into the carbonized raw material, creating a multitude of pores inside the carbonaceous matrix. This process creates so much surface area that a teaspoon of activated carbon has roughly the same surface area as a soccer field! Activated block carbon, then, with its use of adsorption, is one of the most effective water filtration methods in use today. 5 4.7 / 5 (1,556) Henriette Willb
