Is it possible to reactivate or regenerate the granular carbon in the filter element once it becomes saturated with chemicals?
Yes, some chemicals such as chlorine can be removed from the carbon by simply boiling the ceramic filter element in water for five minutes. Note: to avoid cracking the ceramic shell, place the element in cool water and then bring the water to a boil. Never place a cool element in boiling water or a hot element in cool water.
