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 named tetrachloromethane on lab reports or water testing results. As a VOC it can travel with water and sometimes off-gas when water is aerated at a faucet or shower, though it may not be obvious by taste or smell. If you live in Cox and are worried about contaminants, the most reliable way to know what’s in your water is to have it tested.
Invisible VOCs can be present even in water that looks clear, which is why many Cox homeowners prefer treating water at the point it enters the house. A whole-house system protects every use — drinking, cooking, bathing, laundry and cleaning — and helps reduce the chance that volatile compounds release into the air inside your home during showers or dishwashing. If testing shows carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloromethane in your water, choose a treatment made for VOC reduction rather than a simple sediment-only filter.
For whole-home reduction of carbon tetrachloride, a catalytic carbon filter is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Carbon media adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through, trapping them instead of merely filtering particles. Catalytic carbon improves on standard activated carbon for a range of organic contaminants, making it a strong option when you want VOC removal throughout your Cox residence. Installed at the main water line, it treats water before it reaches faucets and appliances.
Because carbon tetrachloride (also called tetrachloromethane) is dissolved in water, a catalytic carbon system needs adequate contact time and properly sized media to be effective. A whole-house catalytic carbon unit is engineered to handle normal household flow so your home retains good pressure while treating every tap. It can also help improve taste and reduce off-odors by removing other organic compounds, and Mr. Pure Water can help Cox homeowners select the right catalytic carbon setup based on their water test results and daily usage.
