How can a Whole Home Dechlorinating VOC Filter System help you?

  • Softer, more manageable hair

  • Reduces fading of colour treated-hair

  • Can improve lathering and sudsing

  • Less irritation of sensitive skin and airways

Don’t Get Fooled!


If a retailer is advertising VOC removal with a point-of-use shower filter, we advise caution and would disagree. We do not know of any research to support the removal of VOCs with dechlorinating shower filters. A properly designed shower filter works great on chlorine removal but not on VOCs.


Your Dechlorinating VOC point-of-entry system on the other hand will remove some VOCs. Purahome believes that chloroform, being the most challenging VOC to remove, is removed by the this system for approximately 1/12th of the volume of water it can remove chlorine from.


Reasons to Choose the Whole Home Dechlorinating VOC Filter System


The Whole Home Dechlorinating VOC Filter System’s advanced performance and features make it a great choice for individuals wanting whole home dechlorination with some organic contaminant removal for healthier baths, showers, and washing water.


1. Reduces chlorine from all your water.


This dechlorinating water filter system reduces up to 99% of chlorine from the water in your home.


2. Extruded carbon filter provides exceptional performance


Your Whole Home Dechlorinating VOC System filters consist of activated carbon fused into a uniform block with enhanced adsorption. The radial water flow results in increased dirt capturing capacity and lower pressure drop. Unlike GAC (granular activated carbon) filters, these filters will not channel or bypass because of the extreme uniformity of the extruded carbon core. They will also not give off carbon fines! The service life of the filter is greatly enhanced with an outer 10 micron prefiltration layer.


3. Advanced housing design and installation features 


Housings from Italy provide an ideal combination of solid design, ruggedness, and are an overall excellent value.  The manufacturing materials have been selected to assure durability, no addition of taste or odour to the treated water, and toxicological safety. The NSF Certification assures solid engineering and materials safety. Your Three-piece housing design with ring nut makes it easier to disassemble the housing when other designs bind-up due to o-ring set. There is a Push-button pressure vent to allow pressure relief and air bleeding. The sump drain feature is much appreciated for evacuating water to reduce sump weight for an easier cartridge change.


4. Creates healthier showers, baths, and washing water


If you or your loved ones have sensitive skin or airways, you will appreciate washing with chlorine-free water. It will reduce skin irritation and not promote dryness or eczema flares. Also, for those who want even cleaner water or have a sensitivity to chemicals, the additional VOC reduction will be very beneficial.

Not Another Carbon Filter – Made in India


Purahome has seen many filters on the market that release carbon fines on start up and when in use. This can cause clogging problems for water faucets especially the newer European ones. These specially made extruded carbon filters never release carbon fines on start up or when in service. They are also high quality filters manufactured in India. Purahome believes this is highly important at a time when many filters coming in to Canada are being made in China and there is some uncertainty on Purahome’s part (for good reason) of the true quality of these filters.


 


A Unique Housing With 2 Unique Features - Made in Italy


Different Design - Instead of a 2-piece housing, your HS housings are 3-piece. All other housings on the market are 2-piece housings (head and sump) having sumps with built-in threads. The entire sump (the part that holds the filter) gets turned in order to change the filter. This can be very difficult and also puts strain on the o-ring. With your HS (made in Italy) 3-piece (head, ring nut and sump) housings, only the ring nut gets turned and not the entire sump. This requires much less effort (our customers seem to prefer these housings) and there is no strain on the o-ring. It’s win-win!



Every HS housing Purahome imports comes with a Brass Drain Port. When it comes time to change your filter and you have shut off your water supply, the brass drain port can be opened with a screwdriver to relieve water pressure and empty the housing of all its water.5 Micron 20" Dechlorinating VOC Carbon Block


The end result is a much easier filter change! (due to pressure release and less weight in the housing)


 


Filter Life


Your VOC filter will last up to one year.


 


Installation Advice


These systems should be installed by a professional plumber. They can be installed after your water meter where your pipe comes into your home preferably after your outside water lines.


Installing a water shut-off valve after the Filtration System will prevent draining of your home’s water lines when it is time to replace the filter cartridge. If your home has copper pipe, then you should also ground the HS system (it only takes 2 minutes) with 2 grounding clamps and ground wire. The HS housing can be installed on ¾” or 1” pipe.


 


Whole Home Water Filtration Upgrade


There is much research that shows your exposure to volatile contaminants can be 6 times greater from inhalation than by ingestion. One researcher notes that our exposure to volatile chemicals can be divided into:



  • 1/3 from inhalation during showering or bathing

  • 1/3 from skin absorption when washing or bathing

  • 1/3 from ingestion


We believe chloroform (a volatile organic byproduct of adding chlorine to city water) is one of the biggest threats to our health from water. For these reasons, ideally you should consider a whole home filtration system such as the Aquaspace Polaris Series to reduce both chlorine AND chloroform from your showers and baths for the life of the filter. Purahome believes that at the bare minimum, everyone should own a dechlorinating shower filter. While shower filters typically do not remove volatile contaminants, they will reduce the risks of chlorine exposure.

This dechlorinating filter is wonderful. I don’t have to use as much moisturizer after every shower. I don’t have to worry about my children being exposed to so much chlorine in their water. Thank you!

    The service you have provided us with both our water filter system and air system was about as good as anyone could ask for. That is why after our first purchase we went to you a second time. Your company is great to deal with and I have no issue recommending anyone to purchase one of your products.
