We prepare the installation area by shutting off your main water supply and draining the pipes to prevent leaks during installation. We install the mounting bracket and secure the carbon water filter housing in the correct position. We then connect the inlet and outlet ports of the filter to your water line.

Frequently Asked Questions About Carbon Water Filters
What is a Carbon Water Filter?
A carbon water filter is a water treatment device that uses activated carbon to remove impurities, contaminants, and chemical compounds from your water through a process called adsorption. These filters contain specially processed carbon material (usually derived from coconut shells, coal, or wood) that has been treated to create millions of tiny pores between carbon atoms, dramatically increasing its surface area.
Carbon water filters are particularly effective at removing chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, herbicides, and compounds that cause unpleasant tastes and odours. They can also reduce certain heavy metals, though they’re not typically designed to remove minerals, salts, or dissolved inorganic compounds.
How Does a Carbon Water Filter Work?
A carbon water filter works through a process called adsorption, where contaminants in the water are physically attracted to and stick to the surface of activated carbon. The activated carbon used in these filters has been specially processed to create an incredibly porous material with an enormous surface area—just one pound of activated carbon can have a surface area equivalent to 100 acres. This massive surface area provides countless binding sites where contaminants can attach as water flows through the filter.
When water passes through a carbon filter for water purification, the carbon’s slight positive charge attracts negatively charged contaminants like chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and chemicals that cause foul tastes and odours. These substances adhere to the carbon, removing them from your water.
What Size of Carbon Water Filter Do I Need?
The appropriate size of carbon water filter for your whole house depends primarily on your household’s water consumption and flow rate requirements. For a carbon filter for the whole house, you’ll need to consider your peak water demand—typically measured in gallons per minute (GPM). An average household requires a carbon water filter that can handle 7-10 GPM without creating significant pressure drops. Larger homes with multiple bathrooms or high-demand fixtures might need systems rated for 12-15 GPM or higher.
If your water contains higher levels of chlorine, sediment, or organic compounds, you might benefit from a multi-stage system with pre-filtration before the carbon stage. AtlasCare technicians perform water quality testing to determine the specific contaminants in your water, allowing us to recommend the most appropriately sized carbon water filter system for your unique situation and ensure you’re not overbuying or underbuying for your needs.
