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 laboratory reports. As a VOC it can move with water and sometimes off-gas when water is aerated at the tap, yet it isn’t always detectable by taste or smell. If you live in Southchase and are worried about contaminants, the only way to know for sure is to have your water tested.
Because some VOCs dissolve without visible signs, many Southchase homeowners choose to treat water at the point it enters the house. A whole-house system protects every use—drinking, cooking, bathing, laundry and appliances—helping limit the chance that volatile compounds are released into indoor air during showers or dishwashing. If testing shows carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloromethane in your supply, opt for a system designed for VOC reduction rather than a simple sediment filter.
For whole-home reduction of carbon tetrachloride, a catalytic carbon filter is generally the best single-filter choice. Carbon media adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through, instead of merely filtering out particles, and catalytic carbon provides improved performance for a broader range of organic chemicals than standard activated carbon. Installed on the main service line in your Southchase property, it treats water before it reaches faucets and appliances.
Because carbon tetrachloride (also called tetrachloromethane) is dissolved in water, effective removal relies on adequate contact time and correctly sized carbon media. A whole-house catalytic carbon system is engineered to maintain household flow rates—important for homes in the Orlando metro area that often have hard groundwater—so you get treated water without sacrificing pressure. It can also reduce other organics that cause off-odors; Mr. Pure Water can help pick the right catalytic carbon setup for your Southchase home based on your water test and usage.
