Including filter system and high-performance Carbon Tetrachloride filter.
Carbon tetrachloride is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can get into 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 move with water and sometimes become noticeable when water is aerated at the tap, but it isn’t always detectable by taste or smell. If you live in Upper Grand Lagoon and are concerned about your water, the most reliable way to know what’s in it is to have it tested.
Even clear water can hold dissolved VOCs, which is why many Upper Grand Lagoon homeowners choose to treat water where it enters the house. A whole-house system protects every use — drinking, cooking, bathing, laundry and cleaning — and helps limit release of volatile compounds into indoor air during showers or dishwashing. If your water test shows carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloromethane, pick a treatment made for VOC reduction rather than just a basic sediment or particulate filter.
For whole-home reduction of carbon tetrachloride, a catalytic carbon filter is generally the best single-filter option. Carbon media adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through instead of only straining out particles. Catalytic carbon delivers improved performance versus standard activated carbon for a range of organic chemicals, making it a strong choice for treating Upper Grand Lagoon household water at the main line so every faucet and appliance receives treated water.
Because carbon tetrachloride (also called tetrachloromethane) is dissolved in water, the filter needs adequate contact time and correctly sized media to be effective. A whole-house catalytic carbon system is designed to handle typical household flow without sacrificing pressure, and it can also reduce other organics that cause off-odors and taste. Mr. Pure Water can help Upper Grand Lagoon homeowners choose the right catalytic carbon setup based on your water test and daily usage.
