Including filter system and high-performance Total Organic Carbon filter.
Total organic carbon describes the amount of carbon-based material dissolved in your water. It often originates from things like decaying vegetation, algae, soil runoff, or tiny traces of everyday organic chemicals that reach local source water. While it might not produce a strong smell or obvious taste at low levels, higher amounts can make water harder to treat and may cause color, odors, or an off flavor. For Betts homeowners, total organic carbon is a useful overall indicator of organic load in the household supply.
You’ll also see this called dissolved organic carbon, because much of what testing detects is dissolved rather than visible as particles. Even clear tap water can contain these organics, which can react with disinfectants like chlorine and sometimes create a stronger pool-like smell or taste. Organic material can also encourage slimy buildup inside plumbing and fixtures where water sits. That’s why many residents of Betts prefer whole-house treatment strategies that address organics before they reach every faucet and shower.
For whole-house reduction of total organic carbon, a catalytic carbon filter is typically the best single-filter choice. Carbon media adsorbs a wide variety of organic compounds that contribute to dissolved organic carbon as well as many taste- and odor-causing molecules. Catalytic carbon is formulated to be more reactive than standard activated carbon, which can boost effectiveness on some tougher-to-remove organics and help your water throughout Betts feel consistently cleaner from tap to shower. Because it treats all incoming water, the benefit extends across the entire home.
Reducing dissolved organic carbon with one filter requires enough carbon media and sufficient contact time—not a small cartridge that water races through. A properly sized whole-house catalytic carbon tank can also lessen chlorine taste and odor, which may become more noticeable when organics are present. To keep performance steady for a Betts household, the system should be sized to your home’s flow rate and water use and installed upstream of the points you most want protected. Mr. Pure Water can assess your needs and recommend a whole-house catalytic carbon setup aimed at targeting total organic carbon effectively.
