How We Install a Carbon Filter for Water
1
We begin with an in-home water test to identify specific contaminants and determine which carbon filter for water best fits your household’s needs. We also inspect your plumbing system to determine the ideal location for installation, ensuring maximum coverage and effectiveness.
3
We install the carbon media based on the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure the highest filtration performance. Water is slowly reintroduced into the system to eliminate trapped air and protect against pressure surges. Our team checks all seals and fittings to prevent leaks and ensure steady, efficient flow.
2
Next, we shut off your home’s main water supply and drain the plumbing to avoid leaks. We mount the filter bracket securely and install the housing at the chosen point in your water line. The inlet and outlet ports are connected to allow filtered water to flow throughout your home.
4
After setup, we run water through the system and perform post-installation testing to confirm that your carbon water filter is operating correctly. We’ll also show you how to monitor pressure and know when it’s time for maintenance.

FAQS About Carbon Water Filters
What is a Carbon Water Filter?
A carbon water filter is a type of water treatment system that uses activated carbon to capture impurities, contaminants, and chemicals from your water through a process known as adsorption. These filters are made with specially treated carbon, commonly sourced from coconut shells, coal, or wood, that contains millions of microscopic pores, dramatically increasing surface area for effective filtration.
Carbon filters are especially efficient at removing chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCS), pesticides, herbicides, and substances responsible for bad tastes and odours. While they can reduce some heavy metals, they are not typically intended to eliminate minerals, salts, or dissolved inorganic compounds.
How Does a Carbon Water Filter Work?
A carbon water filter functions through a process known as adsorption, where waterborne contaminants are drawn to and cling to the surface of activated carbon. This activated carbon is engineered to be extremely porous, giving it an immense surface area—just one pound can have the surface area of about 100 acres. This vast area offers countless binding sites where impurities can attach as water moves through the filter.
As water flows through a carbon filter during purification, the carbon’s mild positive charge attracts negatively charged particles such as chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCS), and chemicals that contribute to bad tastes and odours. These contaminants bind to the carbon, effectively removing them from your water.
What Size of Carbon Water Filter Do I Need?
The right size carbon water filter for your whole home depends largely on your household’s water usage and flow rate needs. When selecting a whole-house carbon water filter, it’s important to consider your peak water demand, typically measured in gallons per minute (GPM). Most standard homes require a filter that supports 7–10 GPM without causing noticeable pressure drops. For larger homes with multiple bathrooms or high-demand fixtures, systems rated at 12–15 GPM or more may be necessary.
If your water supply contains elevated levels of chlorine, sediment, or organic matter, a multi-stage system with pre-filtration ahead of the carbon stage may be ideal. Limcan Certified’s technicians conduct water quality testing to identify specific contaminants in your supply. This allows us to recommend the right-sized carbon water filter for your home, ensuring you get the right system without overspending or compromising performance.
