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 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, though taste or smell won’t always reveal it. If you live in Ward and are worried about contaminants, the only way to know for sure is to have your water tested.
Even crystal-clear water can contain dissolved VOCs, which is why many Ward homeowners choose treatment where water enters the house. A whole-house system protects every use—drinking, cooking, bathing, laundry, and cleaning—because volatile compounds can be released into indoor air during showers or dishwashing. If your test shows carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloromethane, opt for a system designed specifically for VOC reduction rather than relying on a simple sediment or particulate filter.
For whole-home treatment of carbon tetrachloride, a catalytic carbon filter is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, trapping them as water flows through instead of just filtering out particles. Catalytic carbon delivers improved removal for a range of organic contaminants compared with standard activated carbon, making it a strong pick when your priority is VOC reduction throughout your Ward home. Installed at the main water line, it treats water before it reaches any faucet or appliance.
Because carbon tetrachloride (also called tetrachloromethane) is dissolved in water, the filter needs proper contact time and appropriately sized media to be effective. A whole-house catalytic carbon system is built to handle everyday flow so Ward families don’t have to sacrifice water pressure for treated water. It can also reduce other organics that cause off-odors and improve taste. Mr. Pure Water can help you choose the right catalytic carbon setup for your home based on your water test and household needs.
