Kunshan Shunfeng Purification introduction: The correct cleaning method of activated carbon filter element?
There are two main ways to clean the filter element. The first is to remove the activated carbon layer, and then soak in edible alkali water for 2 hours, wash the activated carbon adsorbed microorganisms with alkali, and add the temperature during the soaking process, and then rinse with water. Then soak in saturated salt water for 2 hours, rinse with clean water, and then use again.
The second is to pump the product water without free chlorine into the pressure vessel for discharge, a few minutes later, and then mixed with the cleaning solution, and then in the pressure vessel for an hour cycle. After one hour, the water is drained, and then the cleaning tank is rinsed. After cleaning, the clean water is put in, and then the next step is washing.
In addition, the activated carbon filter material should be cleaned and removed before use, otherwise these black dust may affect the cleanliness of the water quality. Because the pores of activated carbon once adsorbed a large amount of chlorine and bleach powder in tap water, it will cause unnecessary damage to the water quality when used in the filter, if only by simple cleaning, it is simply not able to clean the blocked debris in the pores of activated carbon. Therefore, we must remember to replace activated carbon regularly, which can ensure that activated carbon can continuously remove harmful substances in the aquarium water quality, and it is best not to replace it after failure.
The cleaning of activated carbon filter requires patience, until some magazines are completely cleaned out, and no powdered magazines can be seen to flow out. Some activated carbon filters are sometimes not chosen to be cleaned, because, every six months, it should be completely replaced.
