Whole House Catalytic Carbon Filter
A whole-house filter system treats all water traveling to any faucet or fixture in the home. It removes the chemical before it can be ingested, breathed in, or absorbed by the skin during washing or bathing. Catalytic – High Activated Carbon (CAT-HAC) may be used for a variety of water treatment applications including the reduction of chloramines and hydrogen sulfide from potable water.
Model No.

How it works
How does a carbon filter work?
Activated carbon is an excellent filter and reduces a vast number of impurities from drinking water.
- Connect to the main water line from the house.
- Water is forced through the pores of the carbon. Carbon filters remove contaminants through adsorption, which means the contaminants are attracted to the surface of the activated carbon and held to it; very similar to the way a magnet attracts and holds iron filings.
- Carbon filters also act as a catalyst to change the chemical composition of some contaminants.
- Carbon free water flows into a water softener, to soften your water before you now experience purified and soft water throughout your home.
- Backwashing when the filter regenerates or fills up the carbon.
DID YOU KNOW…
In general, carbon filters remove at least 81 chemicals and are effective at reducing another 52. According to the EPA, activated carbon is the only filtering material that removes all 12 identified herbicides and 14 pesticides, along with all 32 identified organic contaminants. Activated carbon also removes chemicals, such as chlorine, that affect the aesthetic quality of your drinking water.
Features
- CAT-HAC is an outstanding coconut shell based material for applications requiring chloramine, hydrogen sulfide and dissolved organic compound reduction. This product can be used for filtering water having a wide range of pH levels.
- Large surface area results in an exceptionally high capacity and efficiency.
- Balanced pore structure gives a more efficient adsorption range.
- CAT-HAC is very durable so losses due to attrition are kept to a minimum.
- CAT-HAC has a very high carbon, low ash content.
- CAT-HAC will impart a high “polish” to the filtered water.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often does the carbon need to be changed?
Answer: For the best outcome with the carbon and the best result in your home water, we recommend a maintenance update on the carbon filter about every 5 years.
