Chemical-Free
Whole House Carbon Filter
Remove chlorine, chloramines, and chemical contaminants from every tap. No more chlorine taste, odors, or harmful chemicals in your water.
Catalytic Carbon Media
Lifetime Warranty
Remove chlorine, chloramines, and chemical contaminants from every tap. No more chlorine taste, odors, or harmful chemicals in your water.
Catalytic carbon removes chlorine and chemicals through adsorption - trapping contaminants in millions of microscopic pores.
Removes chlorine taste and chemical odors. Water tastes fresh and clean.
No more inhaling chlorine vapors. Better for skin and hair.
Carbon filtration prevents chlorine damage to rubber seals and gaskets.
Physical filtration - no salt, no chemicals, no electricity needed.
Catalytic carbon is specially designed to target chlorine and chloramines, the disinfectants used in municipal water treatment that affect taste and health.
Note: This system filters and conditions water but does NOT soften water. For hard water, combine with a water softener.
They do different jobs. Here's what each system addresses.
Filters and conditions water without salt.
Does NOT remove: Hardness minerals
Removes hardness minerals using ion exchange.
Does NOT remove: Chlorine & chemicals
For complete protection, pair them together.

Yes. Houston uses chloramine (a chlorine-ammonia compound) to disinfect its municipal water supply. Chloramine is more stable than free chlorine, meaning it persists longer through the distribution system — which is why you can sometimes smell it from your tap. The bigger issue is what happens when chloramine reacts with organic matter: it forms disinfection byproducts (DBPs) like trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs), which the EWG found in Houston water at 145× and 332× their health guidelines respectively. A catalytic carbon filter is specifically designed to break down chloramines and reduce DBP formation before they reach your fixtures.
They solve completely different problems. A carbon filter removes chemical contaminants — chlorine, chloramines, VOCs, pesticides, and disinfection byproducts. It improves taste, smell, and reduces exposure to harmful chemicals. A water softener removes hardness minerals — calcium and magnesium — through ion exchange. It prevents scale buildup and makes water feel silky on skin. Neither does the other's job. For comprehensive protection against both Houston's chemical contamination and its hard water, we typically recommend pairing the carbon filter with a softener. The Complete Home System combines both with an RO drinking water system.
Carbon filtration reduces some heavy metals and PFAS compounds, but not with the same efficiency as reverse osmosis. For lead and PFAS specifically, an under-sink RO system paired with the whole-house carbon filter gives much stronger protection. The carbon filter's primary job is removing chlorine, chloramines, and DBPs from all water in your home — showers, laundry, cooking — while the RO system handles drinking water to a higher standard, removing 99%+ of PFAS, lead, nitrates, and fluoride at the point of use.
The catalytic carbon media in our whole-house systems typically lasts 5–7 years before needing replacement, depending on your household water usage and incoming chloramine levels. The system backwashes automatically on a set schedule to extend media life and flush trapped contaminants. When it's time for media replacement, we can handle that as a service call. There are no cartridge filters to change — unlike pitcher or under-sink carbon filters, this is a tank-based system that operates passively and requires minimal attention between media replacements.
Yes, and this is one of its most important functions for Houston homeowners. Disinfection byproducts like TTHMs and HAAs form when chloramine reacts with organic material in source water. Catalytic carbon doesn't just adsorb these compounds — it actively breaks down chloramine before it has a chance to react and form byproducts in your pipes. The result is significantly lower DBP levels at every tap. You'll notice it immediately in the taste of your water and during showers, where hot water volatilizes chlorine into steam that would otherwise be inhaled.
