A whole-house carbon filter in Millcreek UT takes the chlorine taste and smell out of every tap in your home. City water is treated with chlorine or chloramine to keep it safe, which is a good thing. But you don't need to smell it in a hot shower or taste it in your coffee. A carbon filter at the main line fixes that for the whole house at once.
Unlike a pitcher or a faucet filter, a whole-house carbon filter treats every drop at once. You don't have to remember to fill anything or swap tiny cartridges every month.
When You Need a Whole-House Carbon Filter
If you notice chlorine in the shower, the kitchen tap or the ice, a carbon filter is the fix. Some people also notice dry skin or hair and want less chlorine in the water they bathe in.
If your water is also hard, a softener and carbon combo or a Dual-Tank Water Softener may be the better choice, since it handles both in one system.
Carbon works by grabbing chlorine and many taste and odor compounds as water flows through it. It doesn't remove hardness, so it won't stop scale or spots. It's the right tool for taste and smell, and it pairs well with a softener.
Because it treats water at the main line, you get the same clean taste and smell from the shower, the kitchen tap and the fridge.
It's also a good add-on if you already have a softener without carbon. We can plumb a carbon tank in after the softener so you get both soft water and better taste.
Many people say the biggest change they notice is in the shower.
Our Whole-House Carbon Filter Process
We test your water and check your plumbing. The system we install is a 10-inch by 60-inch tank filled with coconut shell carbon over a gravel base, with a pass-through valve. It uses no salt, no electricity and sends no water down the drain.
If your city uses chloramine, we can fill the tank with catalytic carbon, which handles chloramine and sulfur smell better. We add a bypass so you can service it without shutting off your water.
Coconut shell carbon is a natural, long-lasting media. The gravel base under it helps water flow evenly through the tank so the carbon wears evenly and lasts longer.
We'll let you know roughly when the carbon will need replacing based on your water use, so you can plan ahead.
