Including filter system and high-performance Total Organic Carbon filter.
Total organic carbon is a general measurement of carbon-based material dissolved in water. Common sources include decomposing plant material, algae, soil runoff, and trace organic compounds that enter source water. While it doesn’t always produce a strong taste or smell, higher amounts can make water tougher to treat and may cause discoloration, off-odors, or an odd flavor. For Centerville homeowners, tracking total organic carbon is a good way to understand the overall organic load in your water supply.
You’ll also see total organic carbon referred to as dissolved organic carbon, since most of these substances are dissolved rather than visible particles. Even if tap water looks clear in a Centerville kitchen, dissolved organics can still be present and can react with disinfectants such as chlorine, sometimes creating a stronger chemical or “pool-like” smell. Organics can also encourage slime and biofilm buildup inside plumbing and fixtures where water sits, which is why many local homeowners opt for whole-house treatments that address these organics before they reach every faucet and shower.
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, as well as many of the molecules that cause taste and odor issues. Catalytic carbon is made to be more reactive than standard activated carbon, improving performance on some harder-to-remove organics and helping your Centerville home’s water feel cleaner from every tap and shower. Because it treats water at the point it enters the house, this approach protects all fixtures, not just one sink.
The most important factors for lowering dissolved organic carbon with a single filter are sufficient carbon media and proper contact time rather than a tiny cartridge that water zips through. A correctly sized whole-house catalytic carbon tank can also cut chlorine taste and odor, which may be more noticeable when organics are present. To maintain steady results in a Centerville residence, the system should match your home’s flow rate and water usage and be installed before the points you want protected. Mr. Pure Water can assess your needs and recommend a whole-house catalytic carbon setup sized for your home.
