Invisible toxins like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and industrial chemicals silently infiltrate your home’s water supply, causing odors, strange tastes, and even long-term damage to plumbing fixtures and appliances. These contaminants pose serious risks to your family’s health, triggering headaches, respiratory issues, and skin irritations. Ignoring these symptoms means compromising both comfort and safety every time you turn on the tap.

The system that fixes it

The Pentek VOCs & Industrial Chemicals System is engineered specifically to tackle these hidden threats at the source. At its core is the Pentek-series backwashing control valve — a state-of-the-art head valve designed for efficient, automatic cleaning of the filtration media, ensuring consistent performance without manual intervention. Unlike generic valves, this genuine, serviceable brand valve can be repaired or replaced easily, preserving the long-term reliability of your system.

The system itself is built around a whole-house adsorption tank that houses a deep bed of coconut-shell granular activated carbon (GAC). This premium carbon media captures harmful substances such as TCE, PCE, benzene, and MTBE by trapping them within millions of microscopic pores, effectively stripping these contaminants out of your water supply as it passes through. The robust tank construction and carefully matched media create a powerful barrier, delivering clean, safe water from every faucet and protecting your entire household.

How the media works

The heart of this solution is the coconut-shell granular activated carbon (GAC) media—a natural, highly porous material specifically chosen for its remarkable ability to adsorb volatile organic compounds and industrial chemicals. As water flows through the deep carbon bed, VOC molecules such as TCE, PCE, benzene, and MTBE are attracted to and trapped within the carbon’s microscopic pores. This physical process removes these hazardous chemicals from your water before it reaches your taps, ensuring that what you drink, cook with, and bathe in is free from these invisible threats.
