Carbon Tank with Catalytic Carbon & KDF 55 Media
Whole House Chlorine & Chloramine Reduction
This carbon tank is designed as a direct replacement for most whole-house carbon filtration systems used on city water. It is loaded with high-performance catalytic activated carbon and KDF 55 media to reduce chlorine, chloramine, and dissolved heavy metals while improving overall water quality throughout the home.
Unlike standard GAC carbon tanks, catalytic carbon is specifically engineered to break down chloramine, which is commonly used by municipalities and is more difficult to remove than free chlorine. The addition of KDF 55 enhances media life, improves performance, and helps control scale and bacterial growth inside the tank.

How to Choose the Correct Size
Tank sizing should be based on flow demand, not square footage.
Consider:
Number of bathrooms
Simultaneous water use
Incoming water pressure
Rain showers, body sprays, or high-flow fixtures
For best performance and media life, it is always recommended to size up rather than undersize.
Ideal Applications
Whole house filtration for city water
Homes supplied with chloramine-treated municipal water
Replacement for aging or undersized carbon tanks
