Whole House Carbon Filters

About

Whole house carbon filters treat every faucet in your home by removing chlorine, chloramines, PFAS, VOCs, hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell), and taste/odor compounds. All of our carbon tank filters use Centaur catalytic activated carbon , the premium standard that handles contaminants regular carbon can't, including chloramines and hydrogen sulfide. We carry two styles: non-backwashing (upflow) systems that need no electricity or drain line, and backwashing systems that automatically clean the carbon bed. We also offer carbon filter & water softener packages for homes that need both.

Just connect it to your plumbing and it works. 1.5 Cubic Foot Clack Non-Backwashing : $1,495 (1 to 3 bathrooms) 2.5 Cubic Foot Clack Non-Backwashing : $1,695 (3 to 5 bathrooms) Backwashing Carbon Filters Our backwashing carbon filters use a Fleck 2510SXT electronic control valve that automatically reverses water flow on a set schedule to clean the carbon bed and flush out trapped sediment.
