APEC Whole House Water Filter - GREEN-CARBON-15

Experience the ultimate in home water purification with the APEC GREEN-CARBON-15 Whole House Water Filter. Engineered to deliver clean, refreshing water from every faucet in your home, this advanced point-of-entry filtration system utilizes state-of-the-art catalytic coconut shell granular activated carbon. Designed for exceptional efficiency and longevity, the GREEN-CARBON-15 effectively removes a wide array of chemical and organic contaminants—especially challenging impurities like chloramines and VOCs—without the need for electricity, regeneration, or backwashing. Whether you’re showering, cooking, or simply enjoying a glass of water, this system ensures superior taste, clarity, and aroma. It’s the perfect choice for those who value not only water quality but also overall wellness, durability, and environmentally-friendly solutions.

Key Features

  • Advanced Catalytic Coconut Granular Activated Carbon
    The Green Carbon water filter uses the highest grade granular coconut shell based activated carbon to effectively remove a wide range of chemical and organic contaminants from water without the need for regeneration, backwash, or electricity. Designed specifically for whole house filtration, this system uses acid washed high purity granular activated carbon manufactured by steam activation from premium select coconut shell charcoal. When water comes into contact with the surface of the catalytic media, gas, vapor, liquid and dissolved solid contaminants get channeled and trapped in the micropores of the carbon by the process of adsorption. These compounds are subsequently diffused into the carbon matrix and are adsorbed or locked into the internal pore structure removing it from the water. The large surface area of our carbon makes it highly porous allowing it to treat between 600,000 to 1,000,000 gallons of water.
    The Green Carbon water filter uses advance state-of-the-art catalytic carbon to effectively adsorb difficult chemicals like chloramines which cannot be effectively removed by regular activated carbon filters. This Point-of-Entry whole house filtration system will provide you and your family with an unlimited supply of clean, clear and refreshing water throughout every faucet in your home!
    • You can enjoy all these benefits:
      • Chlorine/chloramine free water for softer skin and smoother hair after every shower.
      • Improved water taste and clarity without any bad chemical odors.
      • Luxurious spa quality water for your shower, bath, and hot tubs free from harsh, abrasive chemicals.
      • Improved whole house air quality free of lingering chemical vapors commonly released from water.
      • Better health and peace of mind knowing harmful VOCs, THMs have been removed from every faucet outlet in your entire home.
  • Trusted Quality In APEC's Water Filters
    APEC water systems are designed for performance, durability and reliability. We are one of the very few manufacturers who still insist on using premium components. Our durable tank, housing, and valves can withstand extreme pH and pressure changes without leaking or bursting. Our state of the art Green Carbon media is WQA certified and is maintenance free for 5-8 years. The granular activated carbon is produced from premium select coconut shells using a patented process for the use in liquid phase systems - completely environmentally friendly.
    For over 20 years, APEC has been the leading manufacturer of high performance water systems. Our systems are built to meet the most demanding applications in water treatment-- from drinking water for homes, to low TDS water for healthcare facilities and research labs, to advanced filtration for commercial and industrial applications. Our durable water filtering systems last for decades delivering many years of clean water enjoyment and convenience to their owners.
  • America's Most Durable & Maintenance-Free Water Filters
    • Catalytic Granular Activated Carbon Media
      Superior level of hardness with optimized density for maximum durability. Large and extensive internal pore structure provides excellent adsorption capacity for chloramines and other chemical compounds.
    • No Backwashing or Regeneration
      A simple In/Out valve design provides adequate bed turn over due to the constant upflow service direction. So, no backwashing, no regeneration, and no drain to install. 100% environmentally friendly.
    • Cost Efficient
      No electricity required means no extra energy expenses.
    • Easy Installation
      Compact single tank system, fits anywhere with ease. Simply connect to the main supply line of your house. Pipe in, pipe out. No time-consuming programmable controls to set and understand.
    • No Maintenance
      Virtually no maintenance, no upkeep costs. This is a "set it and forget it" type of system. Just change the catalytic carbon media every 5-8 years.
    • Worry Free
      Comes with a 10 year limited warranty. Receive highest quality products, expert support, lowest price and warranty directly from a first-rate manufacturer.
  • GREEN CARBON SHIPPING METHOD
    Our Green Carbon Water Filters are shipped in high quality double walled boxes with side cushions for extra protection. Since our systems are routinely shipped all over the world, we feel it is vital that the packaging be of top quality and no expense has been spared to ensure your system arrives safely in factory fresh condition.
  • TIPS ON CHOOSING A SYSTEM:
    To assure your highest satisfaction, please choose the right size (gpm) of the water conditioning system that at least matches your household peak demand flow rate. For example, if the most water you will use is to take a shower while doing your laundry and running the dishwasher simultaneously, then your peak demand will be (3+3+3=9) 9 gpm. This means our smallest Green Carbon water system, rated at 10 gpm, is sufficient for you.
    • Typical Flow Rates for a single fixture, in Gallons per Minute (gpm)
      • Fixture Type / Flow Rates (in gpm)
        • Lavatory: 0.8-1.5
        • Kitchen Sink: 1.0-1.5
        • Shower: 1.5-3.0
        • Bathtub: 2.0-4.0
        • Laundry: 2.5-3.0
        • Dishwasher: 2.0-3.0
