Benefits of a Whole House Carbon Filter
- Reduces Chlorine Exposure:Chlorine in municipal water can dry out skin and hair. Everest Water’s whole house carbon filter reduces chlorine, making water gentler for showers and skin.
- Reduces Contaminants:Carbon media reduces chlorine, chloramines, VOCs and many pesticides throughout the home, for cleaner-smelling, better-tasting water at every tap.
- Better Water at Every Tap: Filtered water for drinking, cooking, showers, laundry and appliances, not just the kitchen sink.
- Gentler Showers: With less chlorine in your shower water, many customers notice their skin and hair feel less dry.
how a whole house Carbon Filter Works
- Water Entry: Water enters Everest Water’s whole house filtration system from the main supply line before being distributed throughout your home.
- Sediment Pre-Filter:It often includes a pre-filter that removes larger particles like dirt, rust, and debris, protecting the whole house carbon filter from clogging.
- Activated Carbon Media: The water passes through a bed of activated carbon, a porous material with a large surface area, in the whole house carbon filtration system.
- Adsorption Process:Activated carbon traps contaminants through adsorption, where pollutants chemically bond to the carbon’s surface in the whole house carbon filter system.
- Removal of Impurities: Filters out chlorine, VOCs, pesticides, herbicides, and unpleasant tastes or odors. Some whole house carbon filter systems also reduce lead and heavy metals.
- Post-Filtration:Some whole house water filtration systems include extra stages like micron filters or UV light to further improve water quality and sterilization.
- Clean Water Distribution:The filtered water flows to all taps, showers, and appliances, ensuring consistent water quality throughout your home with Everest Water’s whole house carbon filter.

How a whole-house carbon filter works
A whole-house carbon filter is installed on your main water line, so every faucet, shower and appliance gets filtered water. Carbon media reduces chlorine and chloramines (the disinfectants most local water suppliers use), along with many VOCs and sediment, improving the taste and smell of your water throughout the home.
Is a whole-house filter right for you?
- Chlorine taste or smell at the tap or in the shower: a carbon filter is the main fix.
- Hard-water scale on fixtures and appliances: you need a water softener. Many homes pair the two.
- Better drinking water at the kitchen sink: add an under-sink reverse osmosis system.
Our free in-home water test shows which of these your home actually needs.

Whole-house filter FAQs
Will a whole-house filter lower my water pressure?
A correctly sized system has minimal effect on pressure. We test your pressure as part of the free water test.
Do I still need a drinking water system?
A carbon filter improves taste and odor at every tap. For the highest-quality drinking water, many customers add an under-sink RO system.
Check which contaminants your utility reports using the EPA’s guide to Consumer Confidence Reports. For drinking water, add a 5-stage reverse osmosis system, and keep everything running with our water filter replacement service.
