Tuttnauer 8606 Carbon Filter Bags 6/Pk Tuttnauer DS1000 Water Distiller

Tuttnauer - 8606 The Tuttnauer Carbon Filter Bag (6/Pack) (8606) is specifically crafted for the Tuttnauer DS1000 Steam Distiller, serving as the last step in the distillation process to refine tap water into clean, purified water before it's dispensed into the carafe.

6-Pack Post Filter Bags for the Tuttnauer DS1000 Steam Water Distiller. Replace every two months or after 60-80 gallons of water processed (whichever comes first).

Carbon post filtration ensures high purity water after the distillation process is completed.

Post filtration is used as a final treatment to effectively remove VOCs (volatile organic compounds). It significantly reduces trihalomethanes, synthetic organic compounds such as pesticides and hydrocarbons, and petrochemical byproducts such as benzene, toluene, and methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE).

Each disposable filter contains Granular, Activated, virgin Carbon (GAC) produced from coconut shell. High temperature steam activation reorders the carbon atoms to produce an extremely porous structure with a much larger surface area. This network of very fine pores is extremely effective at trapping contaminant molecules. The carbon has a typical pH of 8.0-8.5.
