Including filter system and high-performance Total Organic Carbon filter.
Total organic carbon is a general measurement of carbon-based material dissolved in water. These organics can originate from decayed plants, algae, soil runoff, or small amounts of everyday organic chemicals that enter source water. They often don’t produce a strong smell or flavor at low levels, but when concentrations rise they can make water more difficult to treat and may cause color changes, odors, or an off taste. For homeowners in Noma, it’s a helpful way to understand the overall organic load in the household water supply.
You’ll also see total organic carbon referred to as dissolved organic carbon, because much of what testing detects is dissolved rather than particulate. Even when water appears clear in Noma homes, these dissolved organics can be present and can react with disinfectants like chlorine, sometimes producing a stronger pool-like smell or flavor. Organic material can also encourage slimy buildup inside plumbing and fixtures where water sits, which is why many local homeowners turn to whole-house treatment to address organics before they reach every tap and shower.
For whole-house reduction of total organic carbon, a catalytic carbon filter is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Carbon media removes a wide range of organic compounds that contribute to dissolved organic carbon, including many molecules that cause taste and odor. Catalytic carbon is designed to be more reactive than regular activated carbon, improving performance on certain stubborn organics and helping your water feel cleaner from every faucet in a Noma home. Because it treats all incoming water, the benefit extends throughout the house rather than at one single point.
The best single-filter approach to lower dissolved organic carbon is a properly sized catalytic carbon tank with enough media and contact time — not a tiny cartridge that water rushes through. A correctly chosen whole-house catalytic carbon system can also lessen chlorine taste and odor, which may be amplified when organics are present. To maintain consistent results in a Noma household, the system should be matched to your home’s flow rates and installed ahead of the fixtures you want to protect; Mr. Pure Water can help select and size the right whole-house carbon setup for targeting total organic carbon.
