Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Reduction

VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are EPA-regulated contaminants present in the air you breathe and in your drinking water. VOCs originate from a host of common household products, from bug sprays to paint thinners. Through spillage and runoff, they can end up in your water supply. The three most common waterborne VOCs: Trihalomethane, PCE (Perchloroethylene), and MTBE (Methyl tert-butyl ether).

Carbon filters are very effective at removing VOCs from water. Since VOCs are organic compounds, they are carbon-based. The adsorption properties of the activated carbon filter allow it to grab hold of the carbon-based VOC. There is no better defense mechanism against VOCs in your water than carbon. Carbon filters come in many various shapes, sizes, and applications.

Carbon filtration has the added benefit of removing chlorine and chloramines, which will greatly improve the taste of your drinking water throughout your house.
