Including filter system and high-performance Total Organic Carbon filter.
Total organic carbon is a general measure of carbon-based material dissolved in water. It comes from sources like decaying plant material, algae, soil runoff, or small traces of everyday organic compounds that enter source water. Often it isn’t strongly odorous or bitter, but higher amounts can make treatment more difficult and may contribute to color, odor, or an off taste. For Woods homeowners, TOC is a helpful way to understand the overall organic load in your household supply.
You’ll also see this called dissolved organic carbon, since much of what testing detects is in dissolved form rather than visible particles. Water that looks clear can still carry these organics, which can react with disinfectants like chlorine and sometimes produce a stronger pool-like smell or flavor. Organic material may also encourage slimy buildup inside plumbing and fixtures where water stands. That’s why many people in Woods choose whole-house treatment to reduce organics before they reach every faucet and shower.
For whole-house reduction of total organic carbon, a catalytic carbon filter is often the single most effective option. Carbon media adsorbs a wide range of organic compounds that contribute to dissolved organic carbon as well as many taste-and-odor molecules. Catalytic carbon is designed to be more reactive than standard activated carbon, improving performance on some harder-to-remove organics so your home’s water — from the kitchen to the bathroom — feels cleaner and fresher.
Lowering dissolved organic carbon with one system depends on having enough carbon media and adequate contact time, not a small cartridge the water zips 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. Matching the system to your home’s flow and installing it ahead of key plumbing protects fixtures throughout Woods; Mr. Pure Water can help size and select the right whole-house carbon setup to target total organic carbon effectively.
