AC has to be selected for pore size, as there are vapor phase products and liquid phase products. As below in one answer occasionally when there is high SS a pre filter might be require. As pores become "plugged" from sediment or other the flow characteristics can change due to blinding. If the carbon was specified for a particular contaminant the "equilibrium isotherm" will help with determining frequency of back washing or carbon change out as the AC bed achieves bed saturation.
