Including filter system and high-performance Carbon Tetrachloride filter.
Carbon tetrachloride is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter drinking water when industrial solvents or stored chemicals 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, but it isn’t always detectable by smell or taste. If you live in Orlando and are concerned about your water, the only way to know for sure is to have it tested.
Even crystal-clear water can contain dissolved VOCs, which is why many Orlando homeowners choose treatment where water enters the house. A whole-house system treats every use — drinking, cooking, showers, laundry and cleaning — and that’s important because volatile compounds can be released into indoor air during bathing or dishwashing. Given Central Florida’s warm climate and the potential for biofilm in plumbing, a VOC-focused solution is preferable to a simple sediment filter if tests show carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloromethane.
For whole-home reduction of carbon tetrachloride, a catalytic carbon filter is generally the most effective single-filter option. Carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, trapping them as water flows through rather than just filtering out particles. Catalytic carbon improves removal performance for a wider set of organic chemicals compared with standard activated carbon, making it a strong choice for VOC control throughout your Orlando residence when installed on the main water line.
Because carbon tetrachloride (tetrachloromethane) is dissolved in water, the filter needs adequate contact time and properly sized media to work well. A whole-house catalytic carbon system is designed to handle typical household flow rates so you don’t sacrifice water pressure, and it can also reduce other organics that cause unpleasant tastes and odors. Mr. Pure Water can help Orlando homeowners size and install the right catalytic carbon setup based on your water test results and daily usage.
