ARE all CARBON WATER FILTERS the SAME?

Carbon water filters remove chemicals from your families water but are they all created equal? Why are some carbon water filters more expensive than others? If there are different types, which one is best for your family?
I’ll use the carbon filters from KX Matrikx as an example because they have four different carbon filters to choose from:
1) All of the filters remove both Chlorine and Chloramines but VOC’s and Lead are only removed by some of them. Their capacity varies significantly as does pH drop.
2) The least costly of these Matrikx Carbon filters is the CTO. Which is best used in Reverse Osmosis systems and in applications where there wont be much water used or you have concerns about VOC’s, lead or Cysts because the RO membrane will remove those.
3) The CTO plus gives you more than double the capacity of the CTO and also removes Volatile Organic compounds but the pressure drop is a little bit more.
4) Chloraguard give you 50% more chlorine removal capacity than the CTO plus and 100% more Chloramine removal. This is the filter you need to use if your municipality uses chloramines for water disinfection or if you are looking for a large capacity chlorine removal filter.
5) The PB1 does a great job at chlorine and chloramine removal, as well as VOC’s and add to it lead removal and Cyst removal, but you will lose 12 psi of pressure with this filter and it’s 0.5 microns so you better make sure you have a 1 micron sediment pre filter to maximize filter life.
So which filter is best for your family?
CTO – low cost, RO filter https://waterestore.ca/search?type=pr...
CTO Plus – more removal capacity with added VOC removal https://waterestore.ca/search?type=pr...
Chloraguard - when you have chloramines in your water instead of chlorine https://waterestore.ca/search?type=pr...
PB1 – when lead and cysts are a concern but you can live with the pressure drop. https://waterestore.ca/search?type=pr...
