How the media works

The secret weapon against chloramine is the Centaur catalytic activated carbon media inside the tank. Unlike standard carbon, this media is specially formulated to do more than just trap chlorine; it actively breaks the strong chemical bond between chlorine and ammonia present in chloramine. Once these components separate, the media adsorbs both chlorine and ammonia molecules, effectively removing them from your water. This catalytic process ensures thorough chloramine elimination, so what flows from your taps is pure, odor-free water that’s safe for your family and your home’s infrastructure.

Common questions

Q? How does this system handle chloramine differently than regular carbon filters?
A The Centaur catalytic activated carbon in our system chemically breaks the chlorine-ammonia bond unique to chloramine, unlike standard carbon that only adsorbs chlorine, making it far more effective for city water treated with chloramine.

Q? Why is the Pentek-series backwashing control valve important?
A This control valve automates the backwashing process, flushing out trapped contaminants and regenerating the media regularly. Being a genuine, serviceable brand valve means it’s designed for durability and easy replacement parts, ensuring consistent system performance.

Q? How do I know which size to choose for my home?
A Base your decision on the number of bathrooms in your household; more bathrooms generally indicate higher water usage and require larger tanks and media capacity for effective chloramine removal and longevity.
