A method for treating liquids, particularly water, to render bacteria inactive, comprises a combination of silver-plated copper mesh with an activated fibrous carbon felt. The mesh and felt may be rolled together, compressed and then housed in a cartridge. Applications include commercial and domestic installations. Preferably the liquid flow rate through the combination is between 0.3 and 0.6 litres/minute/cm<2> of the cross-sectional area as well as between 40 and 80cm<3>/litre/minute media volume within the combination. |
