VOC & Industrial Chemical Removal System (TCE, PCE, Benzene, MTBE)
The problem
Industrial solvents and fuel chemicals like TCE, PCE, benzene, MTBE, and vinyl chloride often contaminate groundwater near old factories, dry-cleaners, and gas stations. These invisible pollutants seep into your water supply, posing serious health risks and degrading water quality throughout your home.
Without effective removal, these volatile organic compounds (VOCs) expose your family to toxic chemicals every time you drink, cook, or bathe. The symptoms can be subtle yet harmful: foul odors, unpleasant tastes, and long-term health concerns.
How it works — the catalytic carbon that fixes it
This system uses a certified catalytic activated carbon media that adsorbs harmful VOCs and industrial solvents from your water supply. Water first passes through a spin-down sediment pre-filter, removing large particles that protect and prolong the life of the carbon bed.
The treated water then flows through a deep bed of coconut-shell based catalytic carbon, specially designed to capture and neutralize fuel additives, disinfection by-products, and volatile organic compounds. An automatic backwashing valve self-cleans the carbon bed on a preset schedule, eliminating the need for cartridge replacements and ensuring consistent performance.
What it handles
Built for VOC / chemical
Homes near old industrial sites, dry-cleaners, or gas stations often face invisible contamination from VOCs and fuel chemicals in their water supply. This complete catalytic carbon system is specifically designed to remove these hazardous industrial solvents and chemicals from every tap in your residence.
Unlike simple filters, this whole-house solution protects your entire water system from harmful contaminants, ensuring safe water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and cleaning. It is sized to fit households from 1 to 6 bathrooms, delivering the right flow rate and treatment capacity matched exactly to your water test results.
The part that decides how long it lasts: the valve
This system runs on a genuine name-brand control valve — the industry-standard brain of the system. Its parts are stocked by water dealers nationwide and stay available for decades, so a worn seal or piston is a quick, low-cost rebuild — never a throwaway. For a VOC / chemical where downtime is expensive, that serviceability is the whole point. We never build on unbranded clone heads that strand you when they fail.
Genuine, serviceable, warrantied — a system you keep for 15 years instead of replacing in four.
