How We Install a Carbon Filter for Water
1
We begin by testing your water to understand which impurities are present and determine the most suitable carbon filter for your household. We also inspect your plumbing to identify the ideal installation point, ensuring whole-home coverage. Based on these results, we’ll recommend the best carbon filter system for your home’s layout and water quality concerns.
3
We load the carbon filter media into the system, carefully following manufacturer guidelines to ensure top performance. Once installed, we slowly turn on the water to allow air to escape and avoid sudden pressure surges. All fittings are inspected for leaks, and we make precise adjustments to guarantee reliable operation and flow rate through the filter.
2
Our technicians start by shutting off your home’s main water line and draining pipes to prevent leaks during the installation. We securely install a mounting bracket and attach the filter housing in the correct location. Then, we connect the system’s inlet and outlet lines to your home’s plumbing to ensure consistent flow through the carbon filtration media.

Finally, we run a post-installation water test to confirm everything is working correctly. We show you how to read your system’s pressure gauge and explain when maintenance or cartridge changes may be needed to keep your water filter working efficiently.

FAQs About Carbon Water Filters
What is a Carbon Water Filter?
A carbon water filter is a filtration device that uses activated carbon to eliminate a wide range of unwanted substances from your home’s water supply. This carbon is specially processed from materials such as coconut shells or wood, creating a structure filled with microscopic pores that trap contaminants as water flows through.
These filters are highly effective at removing chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), herbicides, pesticides, and the particles responsible for bad smells and poor taste. While they don’t target dissolved salts or inorganic minerals, carbon filters significantly improve your water’s flavour, clarity, and overall quality.
How Do Carbon Water Filters Work?
Carbon water filters operate through adsorption, where contaminants are drawn to and held on the carbon’s surface. The activated carbon inside the filter has an enormous internal surface area—just one pound of it can offer up to 100 acres of surface area—providing countless sites to trap impurities.
As water flows through the system, compounds like chlorine, VOCs, and foul-smelling chemicals bind to the carbon thanks to its slight positive charge, which attracts negatively charged particles. This results in cleaner, better-tasting water at every point of use in your home.
What Size of Carbon Water Filter Do I Need?
Choosing the right carbon water filter depends largely on your home’s water demand. Peak usage is measured in gallons per minute (GPM), and most average households require a system that handles 7–10 GPM without reducing pressure. Larger homes with multiple bathrooms may need a filter that supports 12–15 GPM or more.
If your water supply has high chlorine, sediment, or organic material, a two-stage system with pre-filtration may be needed. Peel provides full water testing and expert advice to ensure your filter is properly sized for maximum efficiency.
What are the Benefits of Carbon Water Filters from Peel?
Peel’s carbon filtration systems enhance water quality across your entire home.
