Types of Water Filters

There are several types of water filters
available for commercial coffee machines,
each designed to address specific water
quality issues. The most common types
include:

Activated Carbon Filters

Activated carbon filters are highly effective at
removing chlorine, organic compounds, and
other contaminants that can affect the taste
and smell of water. These filters work by
adsorbing impurities onto the surface of the Ion Exchange
activated carbon, thus purifying the water.

Sediment Filters
Sediment filters remove

suspended particles, such

damage caused by large
particles.
