Including filter system and high-performance Microcystins filter.
Microcystins are toxins made by certain cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that can get into drinking water during algae blooms. These compounds aren’t the same as ordinary taste-and-odor problems and can be present even when water appears clear. In Century Village you may hear about microcystins from local advisories, utility notices, or the news; one commonly mentioned variant is microcystin-LR.
If microcystins are a local concern, the aim is to lower exposure throughout your Century Village home — not only at the kitchen faucet. Water used for cooking, making ice, rinsing produce, and brushing teeth are all potential routes of contact. Because microcystins are dissolved in water, sediment-only filters won’t reliably remove them; a whole-house system gives you consistent treatment at showers, appliances, and every tap.
For whole-home reduction of microcystins, a single high-quality activated carbon filter is generally the best choice. Catalytic or high-capacity granular activated carbon is commonly recommended because it adsorbs microcystins, including microcystin-LR, as water flows through the media. This is more robust than a basic taste-and-odor cartridge and, when installed at the main water line, protects showers, faucets and laundry across Century Village.
Good control of microcystins depends on matching the right carbon media to your home’s flow rate and sizing — especially important in Palm Beach County where municipal water is commonly hard and can affect system performance. If water moves too fast through an undersized unit there won’t be enough contact time for adsorption. A properly sized whole-house granular activated carbon system not only helps reduce microcystins but can improve clarity and lower organic odors; regular maintenance keeps it working reliably.
