AquaProTec™ Max 90K Catalytic Carbon Filter For City

The Invisible Problem

Chlorine keeps municipal water safe from bacteria, but once it reaches your home, the job is different. Every time you turn on a faucet, chlorine affects taste, smell, and comfort. You taste it in your morning coffee. You smell it in the shower. Over time, chlorine exposure irritates skin, dries hair, and releases vapors that linger in bathrooms long after the water stops running.

Many homeowners assume city water is finished once it leaves the treatment plant. But municipal disinfection leaves behind residual chemicals, disinfection byproducts like trihalomethanes (THMs), and organic compounds that standard plumbing cannot address. That is where whole-house catalytic carbon filtration becomes essential. To better understand how municipal water concerns extend beyond basic treatment, read about city water filtration systems.

The Certified Solution

The AquaProTec™ Max 90K Catalytic Carbon Filter is engineered to treat city water the moment it enters your home. Built in the USA using high-capacity INDOCARB® E124 Catalytic Carbon Media, this system removes chlorine, chloramines, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and organic contaminants that municipal treatment leaves behind.

Catalytic carbon operates differently than standard granular activated carbon. Its enhanced oxidation properties allow it to break down chloramines, compounds that are increasingly used by municipalities and that resist basic filtration. With a capacity rated for homes with four to six occupants, the system ensures every faucet, shower, and appliance receives filtered water without pressure loss or flow restriction.

Each tank is filled with 2.5 cubic feet of premium catalytic carbon, controlled by a Clack WS1 valve engineered for reliability and precise regeneration. The system handles flow rates up to 27 gallons per minute, making it suitable even for multi-story homes with heavy simultaneous water usage. Certified to NSF/ANSI Standards 44, 61, and 372, every component is validated for safety, performance, and material quality.

Pure Water Living

Clean water changes more than just taste. It improves how your skin feels after a shower. It protects appliances from corrosive buildup. It makes coffee taste the way coffee should. With the AquaProTec™ Max 90K, water clarity and freshness are restored throughout the home, from the kitchen sink to the master bath.

This system is designed to operate quietly, efficiently, and with minimal maintenance. No frequent cartridge replacements. No salt handling. Just consistent catalytic filtration backed by a 10-year service life and factory-tested American engineering. Pure Water. Pure Trust.

Completing Your Water Strategy

While the AquaProTec™ Max 90K addresses chlorine, odor, and organic contaminants in city water, it does not reduce hardness minerals that cause scale buildup in water heaters and plumbing. For complete protection, consider pairing this system with a whole house water softener to deliver both clean and soft water throughout your home.
