Alamo (A9232-J) 8x30 Mesh Coconut Carbon GAC 1 Cubic Foot Bag
Alamo A9232-J 8x30 Mesh Coconut Shell GAC
Coconut shell carbon delivers superior hardness and longer service life than coal-based alternatives
Coconut Shell Source
Derived from renewable coconut shells and steam-activated for maximum surface area. Higher density and hardness than bituminous carbon means less attrition and dust in your system.
Chlorine & Chloramine Reduction
Removes chlorine, chloramines, and organic chemicals through adsorption. Targets trihalomethanes (THMs), pesticides, fertilizers, and detergents for cleaner water.
Taste & Odor Control
Eliminates chemical taste and odors at service flow rates of 2-6 gpm per cubic foot. Ideal for whole-house or point-of-entry applications where water quality impacts daily use.
Extended Service Life
8x30 mesh size balances contact time with flow capacity. Coconut shell construction provides longer lifespan and higher activity level compared to standard coal-based GAC.
Broad Contaminant Range
Adsorbs TCE, EDB, THMs, synthetic organics, sediment, and industrial chemicals. Effective across multiple contaminant classes for comprehensive filtration.
Operating Parameters
| Model Number | A9232-J (Jacobi Aquasor) |
| Mesh Size | 8x30 |
| Volume | 1 Cubic Foot |
| Service Flow Rate | 2-6 gpm/cu ft (standard applications) |
| Freeboard Required | 20% minimum |
| pH Range | 6.5-7.5 (optimal) |
| Material | Steam-activated coconut shell carbon |
System Integration
The Alamo A9232-J fits standard media tanks and pressure vessels designed for granular activated carbon. Compatible with Watts, Pentair, Culligan, and other residential or light commercial filtration systems requiring 1 cubic foot media capacity. Requires 20% freeboard for backwash expansion. Lower service flow rates (1-2 gpm/cu ft) recommended for chloramine reduction or when targeting synthetic organics with longer empty bed contact time (EBCT) requirements.
Replacement Schedule
Residential Chlorine Removal
Standard household applications with municipal water. Replace when taste or odor returns, or chlorine test strips show breakthrough.
Chloramine Systems
Chloramine reduction depletes carbon faster than free chlorine. Monitor outlet water quality monthly and replace when removal capacity declines.
Low-Flow Applications
Point-of-use systems with flow rates under 2 gpm may extend service life. Replace based on water quality testing and total gallons processed.
Backwash Maintenance
Backwash GAC media monthly to redistribute fines and prevent channeling. Use upflow at 8-12 gpm per square foot of bed area for 10-15 minutes.
Renewable Source
Coconut shell is a sustainable, renewable carbon source with superior performance characteristics
Whole-House Ready
1 cubic foot volume suits residential tanks and light commercial applications up to 6 gpm
Drop-In Replacement
Standard mesh size fits existing GAC systems without modification or special plumbing
NSF Components
Manufactured to meet NSF/ANSI standards for drinking water treatment materials
