Including filter system and high-performance Carbon Tetrachloride filter.
Carbon tetrachloride is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter drinking water when industrial chemicals or stored solvents reach groundwater. You may also see it called tetrachloromethane on lab reports. As a VOC it can travel with water and sometimes becomes noticeable when water is aerated at the tap, though taste or smell won’t always reveal it. If you live in Ashmore and have any doubts about your water, the only way to know for sure is to have it tested.
Many VOCs dissolve in otherwise clear water, which is why Ashmore homeowners often prefer treatment where water enters the house. A whole-house system treats water used for drinking, cooking, bathing, laundry and cleaning, limiting volatile compounds that can be released into the air during showering or dishwashing. If your test shows carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloromethane, choose a filtration solution built for VOC reduction rather than relying on a basic sediment filter.
For whole-home removal of carbon tetrachloride, a catalytic carbon filter is typically the most effective single-filter choice. Carbon media adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through, rather than simply filtering particles, and catalytic carbon offers improved performance for a range of organic chemicals compared with standard activated carbon. Installed at the main line, a catalytic carbon unit treats Ashmore water before it reaches any faucet or appliance.
Because carbon tetrachloride (also called tetrachloromethane) is dissolved in water, the filter needs enough contact time and properly sized media to work well. A whole-house catalytic carbon system is sized to handle everyday flow so you keep good pressure while treating all household water, and it can also reduce other organics that cause off-odors and tastes. Mr. Pure Water can help Ashmore homeowners pick the right catalytic carbon setup based on your water test and usage.
