How We Install a Carbon Filter for Water
1
We begin by testing your existing water supply to identify contaminants and determine the best carbon water filter system for your home. Our technicians also inspect your plumbing to select the most effective point of installation, ensuring consistent filtration throughout your household. This step helps us recommend the ideal carbon water filter based on your water quality and household size.

To prepare for installation, we shut off the main water supply and drained the plumbing lines to minimize the risk of leaks. We secure the mounting bracket and install the carbon water filter housing in the right position before connecting the inlet and outlet ports to your home’s water line.
2
We insert the carbon filter media precisely according to the manufacturer’s guidelines for maximum performance. Gradually opening the water supply, we prime the system to release any trapped air and avoid pressure-related problems. Our team then inspects all fittings for leaks and ensures the water flows efficiently through the new carbon filter.

Once the installation is complete, we flush water through the system and conduct post-installation water tests to confirm that your carbon water filter is performing as intended. We’ll also show you how to monitor pressure gauges and explain the signs that indicate when maintenance may be necessary.

FAQS About Carbon Water Filters
What is a Carbon Water Filter?
A carbon water filter is a filtration system that uses activated carbon to remove unwanted contaminants, chemicals, and impurities from your home’s water through a method called adsorption. These filters are made using carbon material—commonly sourced from coconut shells, coal, or wood—that is treated to develop millions of microscopic pores, greatly expanding its surface area.
Carbon water filters excel at removing chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCS), pesticides, herbicides, and compounds responsible for unpleasant tastes and smells. Some models can also reduce certain heavy metals, but they are not designed to eliminate minerals, salts, or dissolved inorganic substances from your water.
How Does a Carbon Water Filter Work?
Carbon water filters operate through the process of adsorption, where contaminants are drawn to and adhere to the surface of the activated carbon. Activated carbon is processed to be extremely porous—one pound can have a surface area close to 100 acres, providing extensive space for trapping impurities.
As water moves through the carbon filter, the material’s slight positive electrical charge attracts and binds negatively charged pollutants like chlorine, VOCS, and substances causing foul tastes and odours. This process efficiently cleans the water as it passes through, leaving you with cleaner, better-tasting water throughout your home.
What Size Carbon Water Filter Do I Need?
Choosing the right size carbon water filter for your home depends on your household’s flow rate and water usage. When installing a carbon filter for the whole house, it’s important to account for peak demand, typically measured in gallons per minute (GPM). Most average homes need a system capable of handling between 7-10 GPM without reducing water pressure. Larger properties with several bathrooms or heavy water use may require filters supporting 12-15 GPM or more.
If your water contains high levels of chlorine, sediments, or organic matter, a multi-stage filtration system that includes a pre-filter may be beneficial. Furnace Guys technicians will perform a full water quality analysis to pinpoint your water’s specific issues, helping you select the correctly sized carbon water filter system to meet your home’s needs without overspending or sacrificing performance.
