AXEON Carbon 1665 Water Filtration System, 110V

Remove Chlorine, Heavy Metals, and Organics With the AXEON Carbon 1665 Filtration System

Chlorine and chloramines in municipal water — and heavy metals and organic compounds in both municipal and well water — can interfere with hydroponic plant production, affect beneficial microbial populations in organic grows, damage RO membrane elements, and produce off-tastes and odors in treated water. Activated carbon filtration removes these compounds effectively before the water reaches irrigation, nutrient mixing, or RO systems.

The AXEON Carbon 1665 activated carbon water filtration system uses granulated micro-porous coconut shell carbon — a high-surface-area form of activated carbon known for effective adsorption of chlorine, chloramines, heavy metals, and organic compounds. The 16 x 65 inches tank provides the media volume for commercial grow facility water supply applications. The system is designed for minimal maintenance and compliance with industry water treatment standards.

Key Features & Benefits

• Granulated coconut shell activated carbon — micro-porous coconut shell carbon provides high surface area for effective adsorption of chlorine, heavy metals, and organic compounds.
• Removes chlorine, heavy metals, and organics — reduces or eliminates chlorine, chloramines, heavy metals, organic compounds, and unwanted tastes and odors from the water supply.
• 16 x 65 inches tank — the 1665 tank size provides the carbon media volume for commercial grow facility flow rates and daily water throughput.
• 110V system — designed for standard 110V electrical supply in North American commercial facilities.
• Municipal and well water compatible — handles both municipal water (typically containing chlorine or chloramines) and well water (which may contain heavy metals, iron, and organics).
• Low-maintenance design — designed for reliability and minimal service intervention — backwash on schedule to regenerate the carbon media.

Who Should Use the AXEON Carbon 1665 Water Filtration System

Commercial grow facilities, hydroponic operations, and water treatment installations that need to remove chlorine, heavy metals, and organic compounds from municipal or well water before irrigation, nutrient mixing, or RO membrane treatment.

Using Carbon Filtration Before RO Systems

In a multi-stage treatment train, the activated carbon filter is placed after sediment pre-filtration and before the RO membrane. Carbon filtration is critical for RO systems treating chlorinated municipal water — chlorine and chloramines degrade TFC (thin-film composite) RO membranes rapidly, and the carbon filter removes them before they reach the membrane. Backwash or replace the carbon media per schedule to maintain performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the carbon system remove chloramines as well as chlorine?

Coconut shell activated carbon is effective at removing chloramines as well as free chlorine, though contact time requirements are higher for chloramines. Ensure the system flow rate provides adequate contact time for the chloramine level present in the feedwater.

Is the carbon filtration system required if I already have an RO membrane?

Yes — activated carbon pre-filtration is essential for RO systems treating chlorinated municipal water. Chlorine and chloramines degrade TFC RO membranes rapidly. The carbon filter must be working before water reaches the membrane.

What maintenance does this system require?

Carbon filtration systems require periodic backwashing to remove accumulated sediment and regenerate the carbon bed. Replace the carbon media when it can no longer maintain acceptable performance — typically every 12–24 months depending on water quality and flow volume.

Can I use this system for well water as well as municipal water?

Yes — the system is designed for both municipal and well water sources. Well water may require additional pre-filtration for sediment and iron before the carbon stage, depending on source water quality.
