Activated carbon helps remove impurities from your water system, such as chlorine, sediment, VOCs, and bad taste and odors.
Most often, we recommend carbon tanks to remove chloramine and/or low levels of radon. This can dramatically improve the taste and smell of your home water, upgrading your coffee, drinking water, and more directly from the tap.
National Water Service offers carbon tank installation in Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia. We have carbon tank installations that are suitable for both small condos and large homes – whatever size you need, we have the carbon tank that will work for you and your home.
Carbon tank filters are ideal for anyone looking to improve the quality of their water. This includes homeowners and business owners who are concerned about high levels of chlorine, sediment, VOCs, or general bad tastes and odors. As part of our complete water testing, we can help ensure you get the right product to remove the impurities from your water. We offer consults on water treatment for both homes and businesses to help you make the right investment in better water.
A carbon tank filter improves water quality through the process of adsorption. Water enters the carbon tank filter, and impurities are absorbed into the carbon particulates. This is what removes the contaminants from the water that cause bad smells and tastes. From there, the water continues back into the pipes and directly to your taps, where it is clean and ready for use.
Carbon tank filters effectively remove chlorine and other impurities that cause bad taste and odors, providing fresh, clean-tasting water directly from the tap. Improve your coffee, cooking, laundry, and showers all at once.
By removing contaminants such as VOCs, chlorine, and sediment, carbon tank filters help ensure your water is safe and healthy for drinking and cooking. If you’ve been relying on store-bought water or boiled water, carbon tank installations can dramatically help.
Filtering out sediment and other particles can prevent buildup in pipes and appliances, extending their lifespan and maintaining efficiency. Dirty water is one of the leading causes of needing to replace pipes, plumbing, and appliances.
Using a carbon tank filter reduces the need for bottled water, which helps decrease plastic waste and is better for the environment. You can reduce your need for bottled water dramatically after a short period of time.
Compared to other filtration methods, carbon tank filters are relatively inexpensive to maintain. They offer a good balance of effectiveness and affordability that are easy for most households. We can help provide a custom estimate on your carbon tank installation in Maryland.

Carbon tanks remove some common impurities from tap water and can therefore improve the drinking water for homes and businesses. Depending on what is in your water will affect what water treatment you want to invest in for your home.
Activated carbon is a form of carbon processed to have small, low-volume pores that increase its surface area for adsorption. It’s highly effective at removing contaminants from water.
The lifespan of activated carbon varies depending on water quality and usage. Typically, it should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, but it’s best to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. National Water Service can advise on your maintenance plan after installation.
Activated carbon is not very effective at removing fluoride. If fluoride removal is desired, a different filtration method, such as reverse osmosis, may be needed. Talk to our professionals about the best water treatment for you.
Maintenance for carbon filter tanks typically involves replacing the carbon media as recommended and occasionally cleaning the tank. Regular checks for leaks or other issues are also important. These are minor checks that can be every 6 to 12 months.
