Including filter system and high-performance Total Organic Carbon filter.
Total organic carbon is a catch-all measure for carbon-based material dissolved in water. It often comes from decaying plants, algae, soil runoff, or tiny traces of everyday organics that enter source water. While it may not always create a noticeable taste or smell, higher amounts can make water harder to treat and contribute to discoloration, odors, or an off flavor. For Lois homeowners, TOC testing is a handy way to understand the overall organic load in your supply.
You’ll also see this called dissolved organic carbon, since much of what shows up in tests is dissolved rather than visible. Even if tap water in Lois looks clear, these dissolved organics can be present and may react with disinfectants such as chlorine, sometimes producing stronger pool-like tastes or smells. Organics can also encourage slimy buildup in pipes and fixtures where water sits, which is why many local homeowners prefer whole-house treatment to stop organics before they reach every faucet.
For whole-house removal of total organic carbon, a high-quality catalytic carbon filter is often the single most effective option. Carbon media adsorbs a wide variety of organic compounds that contribute to dissolved organic carbon and many molecules that cause taste and odor. Catalytic carbon is formulated to be more reactive than standard activated carbon, improving performance on some harder-to-remove organics and helping water from tap to shower feel consistently cleaner for Lois homes. Because it treats all incoming water, the benefit is whole-house rather than point-of-use.
The secret to lowering dissolved organic carbon with one filter is adequate carbon media and proper contact time, not a small cartridge that water races through. A correctly sized whole-house catalytic carbon tank can also cut chlorine taste and odor, which may become more noticeable when organics are present. To maintain steady results for a Lois household, the system should be matched to your home’s flow rate and water usage and installed before the points you want protected. Mr. Pure Water can help select and size a whole-house catalytic carbon system to target total organic carbon effectively.
