The water that is drawn can often contain organic substances capable of imparting bad odors and flavors to the water. Some of these substances, such as herbicides, pesticides and chlorinated organic substances, are also potentially dangerous to human health. Furthermore, in water purification processes, massive doses of chlorine-based products are used which are capable of reacting with the organic substance naturally present in the water (for example humic acids and fulvic acids) forming chlorinated organic substances, called DBP (disinfection by products), which are also potentially dangerous. In all these cases it is possible to intervene by installing activated carbon filters from the series. BravoFCA which are capable of both absorbing organic substances dissolved in the water and destroying any chlorine present. The filter mass (semi-permeable type) is subject to saturation and it is therefore necessary not only to provide for periodic backwashing, but also for its replacement with a frequency that depends on the operating needs, but which generally should never be more than 6- 12 months. If the dechlorinator filters are installed for drinking use, it is necessary to maintain a certain level of protective post-chlorination downstream of the filter. This can be achieved by installing a partial by-pass valve on the filter or by installing a proportional chlorine dosing station at the outlet of the dechlorinator filter itself.
