Whole House Carbon Filters

Whole house filter packages for removal of chlorine, chloramine, general bad tastes & odors, and other common contaminants

We offer a series of popular whole house carbon filters designed to remove chlorine, chloramine, chlorine disinfection by-products (trihalomethanes - THMs), general bad tastes & odors, volatile organic compounds, and a wide range of other common water contaminants. All of our whole house carbon filter packages also include a high quality sediment pre-filter to remove dirt, sediment, rust particles, and other particulate thereby improving water clarity, taste, and odor, and protecting your home's plumbing system (including your carbon filter and other water treatment equipment) from damage and pre-mature clogging due to sediment build-up.

All of our sediment filters use multi-gradient spun polypropylene filter cartridges. These cartridges use the entire depth of their media by trapping the largest sediment particles on the outside of the filter, then gradually stepping down the size of particles they will reject as the water moves closer to the core of the filter. The result is longer filter life, greater dirt-holding capacity, higher flow rates, and remarkably low pressure drop. The 100% pure polypropylene media is highly resistant to bacteria and chemicals, making this an excellent choice for both well water and municipal water treatment applications.

Our carbon filters are true "whole house" filters with large diameter and surface area to ensure low pressure loss, long filter life, and improved contaminant reduction rates.

Our filter housings are made by the largest manufacturer of water filters in the world. The housings are NSF-certified (Standard 42 - material requirements) and are constructed of heavy duty polypropylene. They feature large diameter 1" inlet and outlets for low pressure drop, as well as a convenient pressure relief button. You can use simple plumbing fittings from your local hardware store to connect to your pipes if you have 3/4" or 1/2" pipes. A sturdy powder-coated steel mounting bracket, mounting screws, hardware and fittings to join the two filter housings, and a spanner wrench, also included with every filter package. Most packages also include spare filters!

Our standard systems are designed for average residential whole house flow rates. Even our standard units have more flow capacity, less pressure drop, more dirt-holding capacity, and longer-filter life than most competitors' models. If you need even higher flow rates, our High Flow Series models are designed for more demanding applications. By increasing the size of the carbon media bed, our High Flow Series models also further enhance contaminant removal and average flow rates by extending the contact time between the media and the contaminants.

Our WH2, WH2-HF and WHC+ models are very popular pre-filters for Trojan UVMax and Sterilight UV sterilizers as they are rated at 5 microns or less.

Why choose one of our whole house carbon filtration systems?

	we use only the highest quality heavy duty filter housings with large diameter inlet and outlet for less pressure drop and better flow dynamics
	all of our housings are made from materials that are NSF-approved for drinking water applications (NONE of our housings are made in China!)
	we use standard filter sizes so you will always be able to obtain replacement filters for your system
	our carbon filters are made in the USA by the world's largest and best recognized name in the industry - Pentek!
	many competitors use small 2.5" x 10" filters in their whole house filter systems, resulting in poor water pressure, short filter life, and less than optimal flow characteristics - we use filters with much greater surface area and dirt-holding capacity to maximize contaminant removal, improve water pressure and flow characteristics, and extend filter life so you have less maintenance to do!
	great pricing on system packages are replacement filters - guaranteed best prices in USA and Canada on all replacement filters purchased by the case!

*Cryptosporidium and giardia

** Many factors can affect filter life including contaminant levels, flow rates, etc. Please see the Owners' Manual for each model for further details. Most filter life estimates are based on minimum 90% chlorine (chloramine for WH Chloramine model) reduction.

***Most systems can physically handle higher flow rates than recommended, however, contaminant reduction rates will decline at higher flow rates.
