Including filter system and high-performance Total Organic Carbon filter.
Total organic carbon is a general measure of carbon-based material dissolved in your water. Sources include decomposing plant material, algal matter, soil runoff and trace organic compounds that can enter source water. It doesn't always produce a strong smell or taste, but higher amounts make water more difficult to treat and can contribute to color, odors or an off-flavor. For Hoover Mill homeowners, TOC is a useful gauge of the overall organic load in the household supply.
You may also see this called dissolved organic carbon because much of it is in solution rather than visible as particles. Even when the tap water looks clear in Hoover Mill homes, dissolved organics can remain and react with disinfectants like chlorine, sometimes producing stronger pool-like tastes or smells. Organic material can also encourage slime or biofilm in plumbing and fixtures where water sits, which is one reason local homeowners opt for whole-house treatments that address organics before they reach every faucet and shower.
For whole-house reduction of total organic carbon, a high-quality catalytic carbon filter is the most effective single-filter choice. Carbon media adsorbs a broad range of organics that contribute to dissolved organic carbon, and catalytic carbon is engineered to be more reactive than standard activated carbon. That improved reactivity can help with some tougher-to-remove organics so Hoover Mill households notice better taste and reduced odors throughout the home. Because catalytic carbon treats all incoming water, the benefits extend to every tap and fixture.
Lowering dissolved organic carbon with a single filter depends on using enough carbon media and giving the water sufficient contact time, not a tiny cartridge that water zips through. A correctly sized whole-house catalytic carbon tank also helps reduce chlorine taste and odor, which can be more apparent when organics are present. To maintain consistent results for a Hoover Mill home, the system should be matched to your household flow rate and water use and installed ahead of fixtures you want protected. Mr. Pure Water can recommend and size a whole-house catalytic carbon setup to target total organic carbon effectively.
