Whole House Carbon Filter

Reduces Chlorine Exposure: Chlorine, commonly found in municipal water, can dry out and irritate the skin. A carbon filter effectively removes chlorine, leaving water gentler on your skin, especially during showers.
Eliminates Contaminants: Carbon filters remove impurities like volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, and heavy metals. These contaminants can contribute to skin irritation, dryness, and allergic reactions. Cleaner water can support healthier, more hydrated skin.
Improves pH Balance: Carbon filtration can help balance the pH of your water, making it less harsh and more aligned with your skin’s natural pH. This reduces the risk of skin barrier disruption, which can lead to sensitivity or breakouts.
Promotes Natural Oils: By removing harsh chemicals, carbon filters preserve the skin’s natural oils, preventing dryness and fostering smoother, more resilient skin.

How A Whole House Carbon Filter Works

Water Entry: Water enters the filtration system from the main supply line before it is distributed throughout the house.

Sediment Pre-Filter: Often includes a pre-filter to remove larger particles like dirt, rust, and debris, protecting the carbon filter from clogging.

Activated Carbon Media: The water passes through a bed of activated carbon, a highly porous material with a large surface area.

Adsorption Process: Activated carbon traps contaminants through a process called adsorption, where pollutants chemically bond to the carbon’s surface.

Removal of Impurities: Filters out chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, herbicides, and bad tastes/odors. Some systems may reduce lead or heavy metals.

Post-Filtration: In some systems, additional stages may refine water quality further, such as with a micron filter or UV light for sterilization.

Clean Water Distribution: The filtered water flows to all taps, showers, and appliances, ensuring consistent quality throughout the house.
