Carbon Filter Systems

Carbon Water Filter Installation in Dane County, WI

If your water has a strong chlorine taste, unpleasant odor, or chemical aftertaste, a carbon water filtration system may be the solution.

At Kegonsa Plumbing, we install and service high-quality activated carbon water filters designed to improve taste, odor, and overall water quality for homes throughout Dane County, WI.

What Is a Carbon Water Filter?

A carbon water filter (also called an activated carbon filtration system) uses specially

treated carbon media to absorb and remove contaminants from your water.

Carbon filtration is especially effective at reducing:

• Chlorine
• Chloramine
• Chemical odors
• Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
• Certain pesticides and herbicides
• Organic contaminants affecting taste

Unlike iron filters or water softeners, carbon filters focus primarily on improving water taste and removing chemical impurities.

Benefits of Installing a Carbon Filtration System

1. Eliminates Chlorine Taste & Odor: Municipal water is often treated with chlorine. Carbon filters significantly reduce chlorine levels, resulting in cleaner, fresher-tasting water.
2. Healthier Showers & Skin: Chlorine can dry out skin and hair. Filtering it out may help reduce irritation and improve overall comfort.
3. Cleaner Drinking & Cooking Water: Carbon filtration improves the taste of drinking water, coffee, tea, and meals prepared with tap water.
4. Whole-Home Protection: When installed as a whole-house system, carbon filters treat water at the point of entry — benefiting every faucet and appliance.
5. Low Maintenance & Reliable Performance: Carbon filtration systems are durable, efficient, and relatively simple to maintain.
