Whole House Water Filtration System – 1.0 Cu Ft GAC Carbon, 9″x48″ (Manual Backwash Valve)

Description

1 Cu Ft GAC Whole House Filter with Manual Backwash

If chlorine taste or smell is the main thing bothering you about your water — not chloramine, not sulfur, just standard chlorine and general off-tastes — this 1.0 cu ft GAC carbon system is a straightforward, affordable fix sized right for smaller homes.

What’s Included

• 9″ x 48″ mineral tank (Black, Almond, or Blue)
• Manual backwash control valve
• 1 cubic ft granular activated coconut shell carbon (pre-loaded)

How It Works

Water passes through a bed of granular activated coconut shell carbon, which adsorbs chlorine along with a wide range of everyday tastes and odors. Chlorine is added by municipalities to disinfect water, but at the tap it’s responsible for that bleach-like smell and the sometimes-noticeable vapor in a hot shower. This system removes it before it reaches any faucet in your home.

Why the Manual Valve Matters

Rather than a fully automatic, electronic backwash controller, this system uses a manual valve you operate by hand when it’s due for a backwash. This keeps the system simpler and less expensive, while still giving you the real benefit of backwashing — flushing out trapped sediment and re-settling the carbon bed, which extends media life and keeps maintenance costs down over time.

Which Size Do You Need?

Dealing with chloramine or a rotten egg smell instead? Standard GAC carbon has limited effectiveness against chloramine and hydrogen sulfide. See our Catalytic Carbon Whole House Filter line, built specifically for those contaminants.

This system will give you safer, better-tasting water from any faucet in your home — chlorine and everyday odors removed, simply and affordably.
