Including filter system and high-performance Total Organic Carbon filter.
Total organic carbon measures the amount of carbon-based material dissolved in your water. Sources include decaying plant material, algal matter, soil runoff and trace organic compounds that enter source water. Often these organics don’t produce a strong smell or taste on their own, but elevated levels can make water harder to treat and may cause color, odors, or an off flavor. For Tallahassee homeowners, TOC is a helpful gauge of the overall organic load in the supply and what may be affecting water quality around the house.
You’ll also see total organic carbon referred to as dissolved organic carbon, because much of it is in solution rather than visible particles. Even if your tap water looks clear in a Tallahassee home, dissolved organics can remain and react with disinfectants like chlorine, sometimes producing a stronger pool-like scent or unpleasant taste. These organics can also encourage slime or biofilm buildup inside plumbing and fixtures where water sits, which is why many local homeowners choose whole-house treatment to address 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 and many of the molecules that cause taste and odor problems. Catalytic carbon is engineered for greater reactivity than standard activated carbon, improving removal of some stubborn organics and helping Tallahassee homes feel consistently cleaner from the kitchen sink to the shower. Because it treats all incoming water, the benefits reach every tap in the house.
The most important factors for lowering dissolved organic carbon with a single filter are sufficient carbon media volume and adequate contact time—not a small cartridge that water races through. A properly sized whole-house catalytic carbon tank can also cut chlorine taste and odor, which may be more noticeable when organics are present. To maintain reliable results in Tallahassee households, the system should match your home’s flow rate and water use and be installed before the points you want protected; Mr. Pure Water can help select and size a whole-house catalytic carbon setup to target total organic carbon effectively.
