For chlorine taste & smell

CarbonShield

A fresher feel, throughout the home.

Whole-home carbon filtration chosen for your water supply and the flow your household needs. CarbonShield can work alongside a softener when both disinfectant-related taste and hardness matter.

Whole-home carbon filtration

Made for a clear purpose.

Address chlorine taste and odour

An appropriate activated-carbon configuration can reduce chlorine-related taste and smell.

Match the media to the supply

Chloramine treatment calls for appropriate catalytic carbon and contact time.

Plan for your household

We choose media volume and operating flow together, including busy periods.

Carbon filtration does not soften water or replace a disinfection step. The exact media and configuration determine what it can treat.

The right fit is in the details

Your water.
Your home.
Your installation.

Confirm the disinfectant used in your supply.
Match the media, contact time and capacity to the treatment objective.
Explain the chosen system’s service requirements and replacement plan.

Exact model, capacity, installation requirements and service plan are confirmed before purchase.

Discuss CarbonShield for my home

Before you choose

A few useful answers.

Does CarbonShield replace a softener?

No. Carbon filtration and softening do different jobs. They can be combined when both are useful.

Are chlorine and chloramine the same?

They are different disinfectants. That affects the carbon selection and contact time needed.

Does every configuration need a drain?

Backwashing configurations do. Other formats have different installation and maintenance requirements. We confirm the arrangement for your home.

Specifications describe the corresponding backwashing configurations. Chlorine-reduction capacity is not a chloramine capacity rating. Actual media life depends on disinfectant concentration, total use, flow and the selected media. Other layouts are assessed separately.

Backwashing and installation details

Pump and drain requirements

Backwashing cleans the media bed. These figures are the flow needed during backwashing, in US gallons per minute, not the total water used per cycle or per day. We check the available supply flow, drain capacity and cycle settings before installation.
