Carbon Water Filter Systems
Activated carbon does an excellent job in reducing/removing tastes, odors, organic chemicals, chlorine, and disinfectant byproducts from water supplies. Additional grades of carbon are available for specific contaminant applications.
Whole house carbon filters protect your home from chlorine oxidation damage, and help sooth sensitive skin and dry hair. Water softeners and reverse osmosis systems lifespan and efficiency are also improved with filtered water.
Commercial filter systems are used for restaurants, food services, manufacturing, and for industrial chemical removal.
Whole House Chlorine, Chloramine, and Chemical Filtration
Get clean, fresh-tasting water from every tap in your home. Better water for bathing and showering too!
Carbon Filter Media
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) acts like a sponge and works through a process called adsorption. Contaminant removal can be improved by using a larger filter to slow water flow through the system. We carry two different carbon formulas depending on needs: Coconut Shell Carbon (CSC): Considered the best all around media. CSC has more pores on the surface than wood or coal based carbon, which allows it to remove a wider range of chemicals. Catalytic Carbon: Premium media that has a special coating applied that improves chloramine and organic removal 8x better than CSC. Also capable of removing low levels of hydrogen sulfide and iron.
