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 might also see it called tetrachloromethane on lab reports. Because it’s a VOC it can travel with water and sometimes become noticeable when water is aerated at the tap, but it isn’t always obvious by taste or smell. If you live in Golf and want peace of mind about your household supply, the surest step is to have your water tested.
Many VOCs dissolve in otherwise clear water, which is why treatment at the point where water enters your Golf home is a smart choice. A whole-house system treats every faucet and appliance — from drinking and cooking to showers and laundry — and that matters here because volatile compounds can be released into the air during bathing or washing dishes. If testing shows carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloromethane in your supply, choose a system designed specifically for VOC reduction instead of relying on a basic sediment filter.
For whole-home reduction of carbon tetrachloride, a catalytic carbon filter is usually the best single-filter option. Carbon media adsorbs many VOCs as water moves through it rather than merely straining particles, and catalytic carbon improves performance against a broader range of organic chemicals than standard activated carbon. Installed at your main service line, a properly specified catalytic carbon unit treats water before it reaches any faucet or appliance in your Golf residence.
Because carbon tetrachloride (also called tetrachloromethane) is dissolved, a catalytic carbon system needs adequate contact time and properly sized media to be effective. Whole-house catalytic carbon is designed to handle everyday flow rates so Golf homeowners don’t sacrifice pressure for treated water, and it can also reduce odors and improve taste by removing other organic compounds. Mr. Pure Water can help match the right catalytic carbon setup to your home’s usage and local conditions in Palm Beach County, including the hard municipal water common in northern Palm Beach County.
