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, but taste or smell aren’t reliable indicators. If you live in Medart and have concerns about your water, the only way to know for sure is to have it tested.
Many dissolved VOCs won’t change the look of your water, which is why Medart homeowners often choose treatment where water enters the house. A whole-house system protects every use — from cooking and drinking to showers and laundry — and helps limit the release of volatile compounds into indoor air during activities like bathing or dishwashing. If testing shows carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloromethane, opt for a system made to reduce VOCs rather than relying on a basic sediment or particulate filter.
For whole-home reduction of carbon tetrachloride, a catalytic carbon filter is generally the most effective single-filter solution. Carbon media adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through instead of just trapping particles. Catalytic carbon provides improved removal for a broader range of organic chemicals compared with standard activated carbon, making it a solid choice to control VOCs throughout a Medart residence. When installed on the main water line it treats all the water before it reaches faucets and appliances.
Because carbon tetrachloride (also listed as tetrachloromethane) is dissolved in water, a catalytic carbon system needs proper contact time and media sizing to perform well. A whole-house catalytic carbon setup is designed to handle typical flow rates so Medart homes keep good water pressure while getting treated water, and it can also reduce other organics that cause unpleasant tastes or odors. Mr. Pure Water can help select the right catalytic carbon configuration based on your water test and household needs.
