Improve indoor air quality by filtering out chemicals that evaporate and contaminate the air you breathe.

There are nearly ten million known carbon compounds and an entire branch of chemistry, known as organic chemistry, is devoted to their study. Many carbon compounds are essential for life as we know it. Some of the most common carbon compounds are: carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon disulfide (CS2), chloroform (CHCl3), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), methane (CH4), ethylene (C2H4), acetylene (C2H2), benzene (C6H6), ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) and acetic acid (CH3COOH).

To maximize the performance of our whole house systems, we use multiple stages of filtration. Here's how our whole house filters remove contaminants:

Treat yourself to the ultimate self-care experience by bathing in water free from harsh chemicals.

Our whole house systems are tested and proven to reduce the contaminants your family worries about most, including chlorine, chloramines, lead, PFOA/PFOS, cysts, and sediment, depending on the specific system purchased.

Whole house water filters are ideal if you want filtered water throughout your home, including for showers, bathroom sinks, and running appliances like your washing machine and dishwasher. Even if you only want filtered water from the sinks in your home, a whole house system can be cost effective and time efficient versus purchasing several under sink or countertop filters that need to be installed and maintained.

Chlorine can evaporate in shower steam, contaminating the air you breathe. Instantly improve your indoor air quality by filtering the water throughout your home.

Faucet-specific filters remove the maximum number of contaminants for healtheir drinking and cooking.

Graphite, one of the softest materials known, is a form of carbon that is primarily used as a lubricant. Although it does occur naturally, most commercial graphite is produced by treating petroleum coke, a black tar residue remaining after the refinement of crude oil, in an oxygen-free oven. Naturally occurring graphite occurs in two forms, alpha and beta. These two forms have identical physical properties but different crystal structures. All artificially produced graphite is of the alpha type. In addition to its use as a lubricant, graphite, in a form known as coke, is used in large amounts in the production of steel. Coke is made by heating soft coal in an oven without allowing oxygen to mix with it. Although commonly called lead, the black material used in pencils is actually graphite.

Aquasana tanks filter up to 14+ gallons per minute, easily keeping up with most busy households. Have a large home? Our Water Experts can recommend a solution for you.

Amorphous carbon is formed when a material containing carbon is burned without enough oxygen for it to burn completely. This black soot, also known as lampblack, gas black, channel black or carbon black, is used to make inks, paints and rubber products. It can also be pressed into shapes and is used to form the cores of most dry cell batteries, among other things.

Aquasana's whole house water filters are a whole home solution designed to reduce harmful contaminants from every water source in your family's home. Whole house water filtration systems are installed at your home's main water line to remove contaminants at the source, providing you with filtered water for drinking, cooking, bathing, laundry, and other uses.

Large molecules consisting only of carbon, known as buckminsterfullerenes, or buckyballs, have recently been discovered and are currently the subject of much scientific interest. A single buckyball consists of 60 or 70 carbon atoms (C60 or C70) linked together in a structure that looks like a soccer ball. They can trap other atoms within their framework, appear to be capable of withstanding great pressures and have magnetic and superconductive properties.

Choosing a water filtration system for your home is an important decision to make for you and your family. If you have questions about our whole house water filters including features, installation, returns, or anything else, call us at 866-662-6885.

Beyond the base model, our whole house water filtration systems can also be customized with the following optional upgrades:

A fourth allotrope of carbon, known as white carbon, was produced in 1969. It is a transparent material that can split a single beam of light into two beams, a property known as birefringence. Very little is known about this form of carbon.

Whether you use city or well water, we have a home water filtration system that will fulfill your needs. We offer Rhino®, Rhino® Max Flow, Rhino® Chloramines, and Rhino® Chloramines Max Flow whole house water filter systems for city water, designed to last 1,000,000 gallons and up to 10 years. We also offer our premium solution, the OptimH2O®, which is tested and certified to reduce lead, PFAS and cysts, and also tackles chlorine and chloramines. Our Rhino® Well Water with UV whole house water filter system is designed to filter private well water, and lasts for 5 years.

Get healthy great-tasting water from every tap in your home by reducing chlorine, taste & odor, sediment, and more.

Reduce your body's exposure to contaminants that can cause damage and excessive drying. Bathe yourself in Aquasana filtered water for noticeably healthier, more moisturized skin and hair.

Carbon, the sixth most abundant element in the universe, has been known since ancient times. Carbon is most commonly obtained from coal deposits, although it usually must be processed into a form suitable for commercial use. Three naturally occurring allotropes of carbon are known to exist: amorphous, graphite and diamond.

Diamond, the third naturally occurring form of carbon, is one of the hardest substances known. Although naturally occurring diamond is typically used for jewelry, most commercial quality diamonds are artificially produced. These small diamonds are made by squeezing graphite under high temperatures and pressures for several days or weeks and are primarily used to make things like diamond tipped saw blades. Although they posses very different physical properties, graphite and diamond differ only in their crystal structure.

Carbon-14, a radioactive isotope of carbon with a half-life of 5,730 years, is used to find the age of formerly living things through a process known as radiocarbon dating. The theory behind carbon dating is fairly simple. Scientists know that a small amount of naturally occurring carbon is carbon-14. Although carbon-14 decays into nitrogen-14 through beta decay, the amount of carbon-14 in the environment remains constant because new carbon-14 is always being created in the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays. Living things tend to ingest materials that contain carbon, so the percentage of carbon-14 within living things is the same as the percentage of carbon-14 in the environment. Once an organism dies, it no longer ingests much of anything. The carbon-14 within that organism is no longer replaced and the percentage of carbon-14 begins to decrease as it decays. By measuring the percentage of carbon-14 in the remains of an organism, and by assuming that the natural abundance of carbon-14 has remained constant over time, scientists can estimate when that organism died. For example, if the concentration of carbon-14 in the remains of an organism is half of the natural concentration of carbon-14, a scientist would estimate that the organism died about 5,730 years ago, the half-life of carbon-14.
