Chlorine, chloramines, tastes, odors, and other compounds can make municipal water less enjoyable—even when the water meets municipal treatment standards.
A Pristine Water Treatment Whole-House Carbon Filtration System treats the water as it enters your home, so you’re not just filtering the kitchen faucet.
Enjoy better water for drinking, cooking, showering, bathing, laundry, and everyday household use.
1. What is a whole-house carbon filtration system?
A whole-house carbon filtration system treats water as it enters your home, helping reduce chlorine, chloramines, unpleasant tastes and odors, and certain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Unlike an under-sink filter, whole-house filtration can improve water quality at multiple faucets throughout the home.
2. What does a whole-house carbon water filter remove?
Carbon filtration can help reduce chlorine, chloramines, unpleasant tastes and odors, and certain VOCs and other organic compounds. Pristine Water can evaluate your home’s water and recommend the appropriate filtration system based on your water source and specific concerns.
3. Is whole-house carbon filtration good for city or municipal water?
Yes. Whole-house carbon filtration is particularly useful for homes on municipal or community water where chlorine, chloramines, tastes, and odors may be concerns. A properly sized system can treat water throughout the home for drinking, cooking, bathing, showering, laundry, and everyday use.
4. What is the difference between a whole-house carbon filter and a water softener?
A carbon filter and water softener address different water-quality concerns. Carbon filtration helps reduce chlorine, chloramines, odors, tastes, and certain chemicals, while a water softener removes calcium and magnesium that cause hard water. Depending on your water, the two systems can be combined to provide both filtered and softened water throughout the home.
5. Does a whole-house water filter need a sediment filter?
In many installations, a sediment filter is recommended before a whole-house carbon system to protect the carbon media from sand, dirt, rust particles, and other sediment. The appropriate setup depends on the home’s incoming water quality, flow requirements, and treatment goals.
