Including filter system and high-performance Total Organic Carbon filter.
Total organic carbon measures the amount of carbon-based material dissolved in your water. It often originates from decaying vegetation, algae, soil runoff, or small traces of everyday organic chemicals that enter source supplies. While it doesn’t always produce a strong smell or taste, elevated organic levels can make water treatment more difficult and contribute to color, odor, or an off-flavor you might notice in Koerber faucets. For homeowners, TOC is a helpful gauge of the overall organic load in household water.
You may also see total organic carbon called dissolved organic carbon, because much of what shows up in lab results is dissolved rather than visible. Even crystal-clear water can contain these organics, which can react with disinfectants like chlorine and sometimes intensify a pool-like scent or taste. Organic material may also encourage slime and biofilm buildup in plumbing and fixtures where water stands. That’s why many Koerber residents choose whole-house treatment to address organics before they reach every tap and appliance.
For whole-house removal of total organic carbon, a catalytic carbon filter is often the best single-filter choice. Carbon media adsorbs a wide spectrum 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 improve performance against tougher organics and help water from tap to shower feel and smell cleaner around Koerber homes. Because it treats all incoming water, the benefit is housewide, not limited to one point of use.
Effectively lowering dissolved organic carbon with a single filter depends on sufficient carbon media and contact time, rather than a small cartridge that water races through. A correctly sized whole-house catalytic carbon tank can also cut chlorine taste and odor, effects that may be more apparent when organics are present. To maintain consistent results, the system should match your home’s flow rate and water usage and be installed ahead of the plumbing and fixtures you most want protected. Mr. Pure Water can assess Koerber homes and recommend a whole-house catalytic carbon setup tailored to reduce total organic carbon effectively.
