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 listed as 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 its presence. If you live in Green Point and worry about contaminants, the only way to know for sure is to have your water tested.
Even crystal-clear water can contain dissolved VOCs, which is why many Green Point homeowners prefer treating water at the point it enters the house. A whole-house system protects every use — drinking, cooking, showering, laundry and cleaning — and helps prevent volatile compounds from releasing into your indoor air during activities like bathing or dishwashing. If testing shows carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloromethane, choose a system built for VOC reduction rather than relying on a basic sediment filter.
To reduce carbon tetrachloride throughout the home, a catalytic carbon filter is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Carbon media adsorbs many VOCs as water moves through it instead of merely filtering particles, and catalytic carbon improves performance against a broader set of organic chemicals than standard activated carbon. Installed on the main water line in your Green Point home, it treats water before it reaches faucets and appliances.
Because carbon tetrachloride (also called tetrachloromethane) is dissolved, a catalytic carbon system needs adequate contact time and correctly sized media to work well; whole-house units are designed to handle everyday flow rates without sacrificing pressure. These systems can also reduce other organics that cause off-odors and improve taste. Mr. Pure Water can help Green Point homeowners pick the right catalytic carbon setup based on your water test and household needs.
