To begin the installation, we take steps to prevent leaks by turning off the main water supply and draining the pipes. Next, we attach the mounting bracket and carefully position the carbon water filter housing, making sure it’s securely fastened for long-term stability.

Finally, we prime the system by gradually opening the water supply to eliminate air from the lines, preventing pressure surges. Our technicians check all connections for leaks and make necessary adjustments to ensure proper water flow through your new carbon filter system for effective water purification.

FAQs About Carbon Water Filters
What is a Carbon Water Filter?
Activated carbon filters play a key role in improving water quality by capturing and removing unwanted contaminants. Made from materials like coconut shells, coal, or wood, the carbon is treated to create a porous surface that allows impurities to cling as water passes through, delivering cleaner, safer water for your home.
These filters excel at removing chlorine, VOCs, pesticides, and unpleasant tastes and odors, providing a noticeable improvement in water quality. They may also reduce some heavy metals, although they aren’t typically designed to remove minerals, salts, or dissolved inorganic particles, which require other filtration methods.
How Does a Carbon Water Filter Work?
Carbon filters purify water through adsorption. As water passes through the activated carbon, contaminants cling to the surface of the carbon material. Thanks to the millions of microscopic pores in the carbon, there’s a massive surface area—up to 100 acres per pound—for these contaminants to attach and be removed efficiently.
This process removes chlorine, chemicals that cause bad smells and tastes, and other negatively charged substances like VOCs and industrial solvents. The result? Safer, cleaner water at every tap, providing you with fresh, high-quality water throughout your home.
What Size of Carbon Water Filter Do I Need?
The right size carbon water filter for your entire home depends largely on how much water your household uses and the flow rate it requires. For whole-home filtration, it’s important to factor in peak water demand—typically measured in gallons per minute (GPM). Most standard homes need a carbon water filter that supports 7–10 GPM to maintain steady pressure. Larger houses with several bathrooms or high-demand fixtures may need units rated for 12–15 GPM or more.
Homes with higher concentrations of chlorine, sediment, or organic materials in the water may benefit more from a multi-stage filtration setup that starts with a pre-filter before reaching the carbon stage. Furnasman’s technicians conduct water testing to pinpoint the exact contaminants present, allowing us to suggest the ideal system size for your home—ensuring you get the right performance without overspending.
