carbon inline filter and Prime ...

[neoprodigy]

do i need carbon inline filter?

my setup

tap -> carbon -> micron -> auto-doser (prime) -> tank


do i need the carbon??

That would depend on what your local water is like. Carbon wont remove clorimines and it's an extra maintaince step.

im not worry about chloramine... i read it also remove

• Sediment
• Dirt
• Sand
• Rust
• Suspended impurities
  
• Turbidity
• Free Chlorine
• Pesticides
• Herbicides
• THMs
• Giardia Cysts

I don't think it could hurt, but probably not necessary.

hmm li the only way we will get the best answer is too just add it and deal with the extra maintenance I'm up in the air about it I was just gonna do the sediment filters carbon was thought of but never desided cause of the autodose of prime I might just add it for the hell of it can't hurt anything technicall running the carbon you can use lil less prime???

I have heard too much carbon causes hole n head. You should use it as needed for periodic removal but not always.

this is for prior to the tank this is for a auto water changer...

the only way it can be too pure is if you are using an RO unit

and carbon is not generally effective at removing minerals, salts, and dissolved inorganic compounds.

so your ok Li

nothing cleaner than clean water
