Including filter system and high-performance Total Organic Carbon filter.
Total organic carbon is a catch-all term for carbon-based material dissolved in water. It originates from things like decaying plant matter, algae, soil runoff, and traces of everyday organics that enter source water. Often it has little obvious taste or smell, but higher amounts can make water harder to treat and contribute to discoloration, odor, or an off flavor at the tap. For Brickell Hammock homeowners, TOC is a helpful indicator of the overall organic load in the municipal supply and why some households notice differences in water quality.
You may also see total organic carbon called dissolved organic carbon, since much of it is dissolved rather than suspended. Even clear water can contain these organics, which can react with disinfectants such as chlorine and sometimes create a stronger pool-like smell or taste. Organic material can also encourage slimy buildup in plumbing and fixtures, particularly in warm, humid climates like Miami-Dade County. That’s why many local residents choose whole-house treatment so organics are addressed before they reach every faucet and showerhead in the home.
For whole-house reduction of total organic carbon, a catalytic carbon filter is often the best single-filter choice. Carbon media adsorbs a broad range of organic compounds that make up dissolved organic carbon and removes many taste- and odor-causing molecules. Catalytic carbon is formulated to be more reactive than standard activated carbon, improving removal of certain stubborn organics and helping Brickell Hammock homes feel cleaner from the kitchen sink to the shower. Because it treats all incoming water, the benefit is housewide rather than limited to one faucet.
The most important factors for lowering dissolved organic carbon with one filter are adequate carbon volume and sufficient contact time—more than a small cartridge can provide. A correctly sized whole-house catalytic carbon tank can also cut chlorine taste and odor, which often become more noticeable when organics are present in hard Miami-area water. To maintain steady results, match the system to your home’s flow rate and water use and install it before plumbing you want protected. Mr. Pure Water can help Brickell Hammock homeowners select and size a catalytic carbon whole-house system to target total organic carbon effectively.
