Including filter system and high-performance Total Organic Carbon filter.
Total organic carbon is a catch-all measurement for carbon-based material dissolved in your water. It often comes from decaying plant matter, algae, soil runoff, or tiny amounts of everyday organic compounds that enter source water. While it may not always cause a noticeable smell or taste, elevated organics can make water harder to treat and may contribute to color shifts, odors, or an off flavor. For Avalon homeowners, TOC is a helpful indicator of organic loading in the household supply and why some families choose treatment at the point the water enters the home.
You’ll also see this referred to as dissolved organic carbon, since a lot of what shows up on tests is dissolved rather than particulate. Even crystal-clear water can contain these organics, which can react with disinfectants like chlorine and increase that pool-like smell or taste. Organic matter can also encourage slimy buildup in plumbing and fixtures where water sits. That’s one reason many Avalon residents prefer whole-house treatment that tackles organics before they reach every faucet and showerhead.
For whole-house reduction of total organic carbon, a catalytic carbon filter is often the single most effective filter choice. Carbon media adsorbs a broad range of organic compounds that contribute to dissolved organic carbon and many taste- and odor-causing molecules. Catalytic carbon is formulated to be more reactive than standard activated carbon, improving performance on some tougher organics and helping your water feel consistently cleaner throughout the house in Avalon. Because it treats all incoming water, benefits are delivered to every tap, not just one sink.
Lowering dissolved organic carbon with a single filter depends on having enough carbon media and sufficient contact time—more than a small, fast-flowing cartridge can provide. A properly sized whole-house catalytic carbon tank can also reduce chlorine taste and odor that may be amplified when organics are present. To maintain consistent results for an Avalon home, the system should be sized for your flow rate and water use and installed where it protects plumbing and fixtures best; Mr. Pure Water can help select the right whole-house catalytic carbon setup for your needs.
