What a whole-house carbon filter fixes in Akron and Summit County
City water is treated so it's safe to drink, and that part isn't optional. What's left behind is the taste and the smell you notice in the shower. A carbon filter takes those out.
Pool taste and smell
That smell is chlorine doing its job on the way to your house. At your shower, it's finished working and you're still tasting it.
What chlorine leaves behind
The city's chlorine mixes with what's in the water and leaves traces (chlorine byproducts) behind. Carbon pulls those out too.
Every tap in the house
It goes in where the water enters the house, so every tap gets it. Your shower and your laundry too.
A carbon tank where the water comes in
One tank of carbon sits where the water enters your house. We size it for the most water your house uses at once. Where it fits, there’s no drain line to run and nothing to plug in.
- Nothing is added — the pool taste and the smell stick to the carbon and stay there.
- The numbers for Akron — all on our Akron water page.

From the street, through the carbon, out to your taps.
Common questions
Is chlorinated water safe to drink?
Yes. The chlorine is what makes it safe, and we won't tell you otherwise. A carbon filter is about the taste, the smell, and what chlorine leaves behind. It's a comfort call, not an emergency.
Is Akron's water safe right now?
Yes. Akron had a problem a while back and the city fixed it, then said so itself. Our water page has the whole account. Some companies still sell off that old news without telling you it's over.
Do I need a special kind of carbon?
Not in Akron. There's a fancier carbon made for a different chemical, and this city doesn't use that one. Plain carbon is the right pick here. If a quote here says otherwise, ask why.
How long does the carbon last?
Years, not months. We size the tank from how much water your house actually uses. You'll know when to swap it before you buy anything.
Who installs it?
