Including filter system and high-performance Microcystins filter.
Microcystins are toxins produced by certain cyanobacteria (often called blue-green algae) that can make their way into drinking water during algae blooms. Because they’re dissolved compounds rather than simple taste-and-odor issues, microcystins may be present even when the water looks clear. Littman homeowners usually learn about these risks from utility notices or local advisories; one of the variants commonly referenced is microcystin-LR.
When microcystins are a potential problem, Littman households benefit from reducing exposure at every fixture, not just the kitchen tap. Cooking, making ice, rinsing produce and brushing teeth are all ways people can come into contact with contaminated water. Because microcystins are dissolved, sediment filters alone won’t reliably remove them; a whole-house treatment is the practical way to protect showers, appliances and all faucets throughout a Littman home.
For whole-home reduction of microcystins, a single, high-quality activated carbon filter is typically the best choice. Catalytic or high-capacity granular activated carbon media is commonly used because it adsorbs microcystins, including microcystin-LR, as water flows through the cartridge. This carbon treatment is more robust than a simple taste-and-odor cartridge and is installed at the main water line so treated water reaches every tap in your Littman residence.
Effective control of microcystins depends on matching the right carbon media with proper flow rate and filter sizing for your Littman house. If water passes too quickly through an undersized unit there isn’t enough contact time for adsorption to work well. A correctly sized whole-house activated carbon system will provide better contact time, help reduce other organic tastes and odors, and maintain consistent performance when filters are serviced on schedule.
