The AQUA-TEK JUMBO Housings are our best whole of house water filter package. It features filtration of sediments, particulates, and other contaminants down to a level of 0.5 microns (nominal) as well as extraordinary chlorine and VOC (volatile organic compounds including most pesticides) reduction capacity.
The Aqua-Tek whole house filter package features multi-stage filtration for a wide range of common contaminants. This system features Pentek's popular 100% pure polypropylene dual-gradient sediment filter to remove fine sediment particles down to a level of 5 microns, thereby protecting the more expensive carbon filter from sediment loading. The polypropylene media is highly resistant to bacteria, making this an excellent choice for well water treatment applications.
The sediment filter is followed by Pentek's 5 micron carbon block filter which is highly effective at reducing unwanted taste, odor, chlorine, a wide range of volatile organic chemicals (VOC's) and pesticides. The WHC+ has exceptionally high chlorine reduction capacity - 90% reduction over a filter life of 150,000 gallons at a flow rate of 4 gallons per minute (567,800 L at a flow rate of 15 LPM), almost 4 times more chlorine reduction capacity than standard 5 micron whole house carbon block and GAC filters. With its nominal 0.5 micron rating, this filter also effectively removes 99.9% of cryptosporidium and giardia cysts, as well as extremely fine sediment particles, making the WHC+ a popular choice for a wide range of residential, food service, commercial, and industrial water treatment applications. This system is also a popular choice for tank water owners requiring pre-filtration down to a level of less than 1 micron for certain UV sterilizer applications, especially where elevated levels of cryptosporidium and giardia, or high levels of organic contaminants are present (organic contaminants can absorb UV light).

Whole of House System selection guide:

We are pleased to offer a wide selection of whole house water filters designed specifically to meet the higher water flow rates encountered on a home's main incoming water line. In addition to offering basic systems designed to remove sediment, dirt, and rust particles, we also offer a complete range of whole house water filter packages for the removal of chlorine, chloramine, cysts, VOC's, iron, hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell), certain heavy metals, and a wide range of contaminants responsible for bad taste and odors in residential water supplies.
Our whole house systems are designed for high flow rate applications, however, it is always important to note that as with all water treatment applications, the faster you flow water through the system (higher flow rate), the less effective the filter will be. To help you select a system that will provide you with the best possible contaminant removal rates, please note the maximum flow rates specified for each system and select a model that suits your maximum flow rate needs in your home.
We are pleased to offer most of our whole house systems in a High-Flow Series design for even higher flow rate capacity!
