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 sources. You might also find 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 it. If you live in Scanlon and have concerns about your water, the most reliable step is to have it tested for carbon tetrachloride and other VOCs.
Even clear water can carry dissolved volatile compounds, which is why many Scanlon homeowners choose treatment where water enters the house. A whole-house system protects every use—drinking, cooking, bathing, laundry and cleaning—and helps limit VOCs that can off-gas into indoor air during showers or dishwashing. If your test results show carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloromethane, consider a solution built for VOC reduction rather than relying on a basic sediment or taste-and-odor filter.
For whole-home reduction of carbon tetrachloride, a catalytic carbon filter is generally the single most effective filter option. Carbon media adsorbs many VOCs as water passes through, instead of merely filtering particles, and catalytic carbon improves performance for a wider range of organic chemicals compared with ordinary activated carbon. Installed at your Scanlon main water line, a properly sized catalytic carbon system treats water before it reaches any faucet or appliance.
Because carbon tetrachloride (also called tetrachloromethane) is dissolved in water, the filter needs adequate contact time and correctly sized media to work well. A whole-house catalytic carbon system is designed to keep household flow rates and pressure while giving the media the contact it needs, and it can also reduce other organics that cause off-odors and taste. Mr. Pure Water in Scanlon can help you select the right catalytic carbon setup based on your home’s usage and your water test results.
