What is granulated activated carbon (GAC) and what is its main purpose?

Granular activated carbon (GAC) has a huge surface area resulting from its extreme porous structure. Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filters effectiveness depends on the flow rate and contact time with the water. If the flow rate is very high their efficiency could drop to as low as 0% but if the flow rate is slow their efficiency can even exceed those of various different carbon forms.

What are the advantages of GAC vs. other form of carbon?

For its primary function of taste, odor and chemical reduction GAC is cheaper, very effective and can be re-used.
