Spiral Flow Technology Advantages
High Contact Time
The spiral pathway guides water along a longer route through the carbon media, helping reduce direct bypass and distribute flow across more of the carbon. This can improve effective water–carbon contact and media use. Actual contact time depends on cartridge volume, porosity, and flow rate.
Eliminate Channelization
The spiral pathway is designed to guide water more evenly through the carbon media, helping limit preferential flow paths and reduce channeling. Actual performance depends on cartridge design, carbon packing, flow rate, and operating conditions.
Effective Utilization of Carbon
The spiral pathway is designed to distribute water more evenly through the carbon bed, helping reduce bypass and make better use of the available carbon media. Actual media utilization depends on flow rate, carbon packing, and operating conditions.
