Including filter system and high-performance Total Organic Carbon filter.
Total organic carbon is a general measurement of carbon-based material dissolved in your water. Sources include decaying plant matter, algae, soil runoff, and small traces of everyday organic compounds that make their way into source water. It often has little obvious taste or odor by itself, but higher organic loading can make water harder to treat and sometimes contribute to color, off-flavors, or odors. For Edgewood homeowners in Orange County, it’s a helpful indicator of overall organic content in the supply and whether additional treatment might improve water quality around the house.
You may also hear total organic carbon called dissolved organic carbon, since much of what shows up on tests is in dissolved form rather than visible particles. Even if your tap water looks clear in Edgewood, these dissolved organics can interact with disinfectants like chlorine and worsen pool-like smells or tastes. They can also encourage slime or biofilm buildup inside plumbing and fixtures, particularly where water sits; that’s a common concern for Central Florida homes with hard water and frequent irrigation use. Many local homeowners therefore prefer whole-house treatment to manage 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 contribute to dissolved organic carbon, along with many molecules that cause taste and odor. Catalytic carbon is formulated to be more reactive than standard activated carbon, improving performance on some tougher organics so water from Lake Jessamine, household wells, or other local sources can taste and smell cleaner. Because it treats all incoming water, a properly installed catalytic carbon system benefits every tap in an Edgewood home.
Lowering dissolved organic carbon with one filter depends on having enough carbon media and sufficient contact time rather than a small, fast-through cartridge. A correctly sized whole-house catalytic carbon tank will provide the contact time needed and can also cut chlorine taste and odor, which may be more noticeable when organics are present. Match the system to your home’s flow rate and heavy outdoor water use in our humid subtropical climate, and install it ahead of plumbing you want to protect from scale and biofilm. Mr. Pure Water can help Edgewood homeowners choose and size a catalytic carbon whole-house setup to target total organic carbon effectively.
