Patience Wears Thin as Time Draws On

"Look, Etta, I just don't want to go," I complained, looking at myself in the mirror as my best friend, Antoinette, tried to convince me to go to my performance tonight. I had been performing at the same pub (The Horse and Trough) for about a year and tonight I just didn't feel like it. 

It was always the same people in, every single night. My main night there was a Saturday, but I also did other weeknights. They were never as busy, though. Etta said that tonight, however, was going to be a different one. A few of our friends apparently knew a guy who was racing at Silverstone the next day. The only reason this was supposed to matter to me was because he was going to be at the pub with them tonight. 

Etta had insisted that I look 'extra hot' (her words, not mine) as he was a fellow Frenchman, single, had a great job and handsome (again, her words, not mine). So, she dressed me in a long, flowy maxi-dress in a stunning sapphire blue. To be fair, I did look quite nice.

 But, it's not like I wasn't going to go, I'm getting paid for it. Doesn't mean I wanted to be there. "You might not want to go, but when you're there, my dear Leone, you will never want to leave," she tried to coerce me, "Pierre is absolute boyfriend material,"

"Have you got any pictures of this Pierre?" I asked her, the name feeling right on my tongue.

I expected her to show me some specky-looking racing driver. Boy was I wrong. She pulled her phone from her purse and scrolled through Instagram for a minute, before turning the screen to face me. Wow was all I could think as I gazed at him, hopping out of the car. He still had his helmet on, but he just looked great. She scrolled to the next picture, and I could swear my heart skipped a beat. 

His hair was all ruffled and his suit was rolled down to his waist, leaving him in a set of white fire-proofs. I didn't believe that this was the guy that was going to be at the pub. "You're sure that this is the guy who Will knows?" 

"Yes, I'm sure. I've talked to him as well,". Maybe tonight wouldn't be as bad as I thought it would be. "Oh I see that smirk! You like the look of him, huh?" Etta teased, nudging me with her elbow.

"I'm not going to say he's not attractive," I rolled my eyes, picking up my purse and walking towards my apartment door. "I can't wait to play matchmaker!" she giggled, following along as her heels clicked on the wooden floor. 

Being the start of August, the weather was still very warm and the sky was still very blue as we drove to the pub. I needed to get there early to set up and make sure all of the tech was working. Etta would probably disappear into the storage cupboard with Will for a while, they always kept each other occupied. 

Nearer the start of my set, Will and Etta re-emerged from the cupboard, their clothes slightly askew and their hair was rather disorderly. People also started filtering into the pub, ready for their Saturday night drinks. Before I started, it was packed. There was barely any standing room left and the bar was crammed with people. 

I stood there, adjusting my microphone slightly. The pub looked as boring as ever, as I was searching for something to be different, just to have a change. Of course, there was nothing out of the ordinary.  

I thought about how I should just get a normal job and leave this place. I should get a job that can actually get me somewhere, not performing in a pub most nights a week, desperate for the right person to walk in and spot something in me. 

I always started with a song in French, just to see how the crowd took to them. Before I could let my thoughts of stardom and success run away with me, the soundtrack started playing. "Mon cœur, mes mains, mes yeux, mes reins," I started, scanning the crowd for any sign of Will's French friend. 'Evidemment' was a newer song I had written, but people didn't seem to care too much.  "Dans mon jardin d'enfer poussent des fleurs," 

I looked at everyone and they seemed to be bored out of their minds. Looks like we'll be heading back to the club classics then. Anyway, even if they didn't enjoy it, I certainly did.

 I carried on with the night, no sign of Pierre anywhere. Finally, I had reached the end of the set. "So everyone, for the final song, grab your special someone and come down to the dancefloor for me," I said, watching as Will grabbed Etta's hand and dragged her in front of me, as well as a lot of other couples making their way to the dancefloor. 

I approached the keyboard that the pub had with my microphone in hand, positioning it in front of me. I started playing the song, trying to ignore the jealousy I felt of the couples on the dance floor. How I longed to have someone that I could slow dance with, someone to spend my life with, someone to love. "When we're out in a crowd, laughing loud, and nobody knows why,"

"When we're lost at a club, getting drunk and, you give that smile," I smiled to myself as I sang the words, imagining someone smiling at me from across the club. "When we're done, making love and you look up and give me those eyes," I turned to look at the audience, hoping to see the happiness on their faces. However, my eyes met with a striking pair of blue ones, and my fingers almost stopped pressing the keys. 

--

Getting back to the hotel and seeing a text from Will was never a great sign. I had just gotten back from the qualifying laps and I would be starting in P11 on the grid, which wasn't too bad, but could be better. Going out was honestly the last thing I wanted, but I would feel bad if I didn't. He was always texting, asking how I was and everything. We could never meet up because I was always somewhere in the world, so I felt I owed him tonight. 

I wouldn't be drinking or staying out too late, I would just be going to chat and have a good time. He also mentioned that there would be entertainment, one of his other friends was singing, so that would be nice. He said she was really good. 

Will last seen: 2 minutes ago

Will: Hey Bud! I'm heading down to the pub tonight and just wondering if you wanted to tag along? Thought it would be nice to see you since you're here. 

One of my friends is singing and she's really good, so you'll have good entertainment as well. 

Let me know asap!

You: Hey Will! I've got the GP tomorrow, so I won't be staying out too late or drinking.

Text me the address and I'll be there in a bit.

What time does your friend's set start?

Will: Around 6? You'll love her, she's brilliant.

You: Alright, I'll be there soon! See you later

Will: See you later, bud!

Right, here we go. I hopped in the shower quickly, throwing on whatever clothes were at the top of my suitcase. No, I hadn't unpacked. Why? Simple answer: I couldn't be bothered. I'll be leaving in a day or two anyway.

I wouldn't have to stay at the pub too long. I'd just have to show my face, watch the set (which I assumed to be around an hour or so) and come back to the hotel, ready for the GP tomorrow. 

I found out the pub wasn't too far away from the hotel I was staying at, so I decided to walk there. It was only 5 minutes. 

I zipped up my jacket, only so that I had the pockets for my phone and wallet. I quickly figured out that I didn't need it as I strolled along the pavement, so I took it off and draped it over my arm.

When I arrived at the pub, it was... Quaint? It wasn't the nicest building, but it had a cosy feeling that became overwhelming due to the British summertime heat. I spotted Will and a girl who I guessed was his girlfriend, and approached them.

"Pierre! You made it!" he exclaimed over the noise of the chattering of the bar as he rushed over to embrace me. I hugged him back, offering to buy him and Etta a drink. "You see that girl on the stage over there?" Etta asked, pointing in the direction of the stage.

I looked over and I saw her. She was wearing a stunning blue dress and she was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I tried not to look gobsmacked, but Etta just laughed at me. "That's Leone, she's going to be singing." She said, patting me on the shoulder, "Don't worry, she had the same reaction when I showed her your picture earlier,"

Before I could respond, music started playing and then she started singing. In French. It was the best thing I've ever heard. On the other hand, the crowd around me clearly didn't seem to appreciate her talent and the beauty of the song. The majority of them were chattering amongst themselves, or on their phones. 

I couldn't take my eyes off her. The way she embraced every word she sung and how she clearly didn't care for the lack of appreciation from the crowd because she loved being up there. 

I had never heard the song before, either. "Did she write that?" I asked Etta as she whispered something in Will's ear. "Yes, she did. It's one of her newer ones," she explained, smirking. 

Listening to the lyrics, they were deep. Loosely translated, the chorus was something along the line of, "Obviously, it's always quiet before the storm. Don't you forget - it's always too good to be true, but never too ugly to be unreal,". It was genius and it sounded brilliant. 

Unfortunately, there were no more French songs played, probably due to the lack of interest from the crowd. 

I couldn't tear my eyes away from her for the entirety of her set, which lasted quite a bit longer than I expected it to. For the final song, she asked people to head to the dancefloor and she made her way to the keyboard. I lost my company to the dancefloor, leaving me by myself at the bar. 

She looked in her element at the keyboard, singing a heart-warming but also heart-wrenching song with every ounce of emotion in her body. "When we're done, making love and you look up and give me those eyes," she turned to look at the audience, but her eyes landed on mine and I could swear she nearly stopped playing. 

I never really believed in love at first sight, but gazing into her eyes from a distance, for even a second made my heart jump and butterflies came to life in my stomach.

Not really listening to the rest of the song, I kept on replaying the moment again and again in my head. I thought I was just being silly, thinking about things too much, but I could have sworn I saw something in her eyes too. 

She finished the song, earning a loud round of whoops and cheers from the audience as she thanked them. She hopped off stage and wandered over to Etta on the dancefloor. Without giving her a second to think, Etta grabbed her by the arm and dragged her in my direction. 

Nerves bubbled in my stomach for some reason. I drove cars at over 170 miles per hour around tight bends, and I was nervous to talk to this girl I've never met. 

"Pierre, this is... Actually, I'll let her introduce herself to you," Etta smiled, nudging the green eyed girl in the ribs. Etta leaned into her ear and whispered, well tried to whisper, "Good luck, tell me how it goes tomorrow," she winked and fled into the crowd. 

The poor girl choked on the air and took the bar stool next to me. "So, I'm Léonide Adélaïde Poirier, but everyone calls me Leone and it is a pleasure to meet you," she said awkwardly, like she hadn't had to introduce herself to anyone before. "Well, Leone, I'm Pierre Gasly and it is a pleasure to meet you too," I followed, trying to make her feel as comfortable as possible. 

"J'ai adoré les chansons, tu es génial," I complimented her in her native language, hoping to make her feel more relaxed with me. "Merci, Pierre, j'apprécie."

"Do you want a drink?" I asked, watching as she picked up her purse and fished around in there. 

"Yes, please, let me just get my purse,"

"Oh no, I'll get you one," 

"Oh, thank you. Can I get you one, then?" she asked, a light blush creeping up her cheeks. 

"I'm not drinking tonight, I've got the GP tomorrow." I said, waving the bartender over. 

"What can I get for you?" he asked with a smile.

"I'll have a gin and tonic, please," she replied, earning a nod from the bartender.

"I completely forgot that you're a racing driver! That is a very cool job," she gushed as the bartender placed the drink in front of her on a coaster. "It is, I'm very lucky to be able to do it," I said, not wanting to talk about myself. I wanted to know more about her. 

"So, how did you end up here?" I asked.

"I moved here from France when I was 18, because I thought I could get more into music over here, but it turns out I was wrong. I never wanted to do pub gigs, but it's not too bad," she looked bored talking about it, something about her twitching for a new adventure. 

"You want to be famous?"

"No, not really. I just want my music to be appreciated," she said, a solemn look in her eyes. How no one had appreciated her brilliant talent and songs was beyond me. It was unbelievable. "I appreciate it," I said, and cringed at myself after the words had left my mouth. 

"Thank you Pierre, I appreciate it," she giggled slightly, causing a smile to instantly spread across my face. She has such an infectious giggle. 

For the rest of the night, we talked and laughed a lot. After a while, I checked my phone to see what the time was, and it was late. Well, eleven pm isn't late, but it was considering that I had a GP tomorrow. "I'm going to have to go now, sorry. I have to get up pretty early tomorrow," I said, not wanting to go to the hotel but it was the responsible and professional thing to do. 

"No, no. Don't worry about it," she said, looking slightly disappointed but I was as well. "Do you want me to walk you home?" I asked, hoping she would say yes. 

"I don't want you to have to go out of your way, it's a pretty long way," she said, looking around to try and find Etta. She knew where they were, though. I pretended like I didn't see them sneaking into the storage cupboard. "No, its fine, I insist,"

"Alright, I'll just go and say goodbye to Will and Etta," she chirped, standing and hooking her purse over her shoulder. "I think they're a bit... Occupied?" I muttered, glancing towards the storage cupboard. "Oh, right." She said, realizing exactly what I was trying to convey.

We left the pub, her directing me where we needed to go. We were talking about where abouts in France we were from, when I saw her shiver as the breeze blew past. "Are you cold?" I asked, her looking at me as the moonlight shone on her face. "No, I'm alright," she tried to reassure me, shaking her head. 

Without saying anything, I draped my jacket over her shoulders, earning a smile from her. "Thank you," she said, turning down another different street. Leone took me into a tall apartment building, and I wondered why I was letting a stranger take me into a random building, but it was her.

After we stepped up a few flights of stairs, she stopped outside of a green door, shrugging my coat from off her shoulders. "Well, this is me," she sighed, not making any attempt to enter her apartment. "You're welcome to go to the GP with Will and Etta tomorrow, I can find you a seat with them if you don't have a ticket," I asked, hoping she would come.

"I'll see. I have some stuff to do, but I'll probably tag along with them since they got me a ticket anyway," she said, looking down at her feet. "Alright, I might see you tomorrow then," I joked, listening as she laughed lightly. "Goodnight, Pierre," she said, placing her hands on my shoulders before giving me a swift kiss on the cheek. 

I started blushing profusely and she did as well, as she opened her apartment door and disappeared inside, leaving me stood in front of her green door.

--

I kissed him on the cheek then ran out of pure embarrassment. People don't kiss people on the cheek anymore. I tried to brush off my nerves and relax before heading to bed. 

I already knew I was going to the GP tomorrow, so I don't know why I said I might go. I put it down to playing hard to get, but I doubt he was interested in me. At least we could be friends? I hoped we could.

A/N - I've had this written for a while, so I thought I might as well post it. It is 22 chapters long in total, so let me know if you'd like to read the rest of it! Do you guys prefer OCs or Y/Ns? If you prefer Y/Ns, I could always change it :)

How to Choose the Right Water System for a New Home

 Building or moving into a new home is the perfect time to make smart, long-term decisions—especially when it comes to the water your family will use every day. While countertops and flooring might get more attention, your home’s water system plays a crucial role in your health, comfort, and the lifespan of your appliances.

At One Water Systems, we believe clean, efficient, and sustainable water should be a standard in every household—not an afterthought. If you're wondering how to choose the right water system for your new home, this guide is for you.

Step 1: Test Your Water Quality

Before you choose any system, know what’s in your water. Municipal and well water supplies can both contain contaminants like chlorine, sediment, heavy metals, pesticides, or bacteria. Hard water (high in minerals like calcium and magnesium) is also extremely common.

You can:

Request a water quality report from your local municipality

Use a DIY water test kit

Schedule a professional water analysis (we offer this service)

Knowing your specific water challenges helps determine whether you need filtration, softening, or a combination of both.

Step 2: Decide Between Point-of-Use vs. Whole-House Systems

There are two main types of water treatment systems:

Point-of-Use (POU): Installed at a single tap or appliance (like under the kitchen sink)

Whole-House Systems: Treat water at the point it enters your home, covering every faucet, shower, and appliance

For new homes, whole-house systems are the smarter long-term investment. They protect your entire plumbing system, improve water quality everywhere, and are easier to install during construction or remodeling.

 Step 3: Understand Your Needs

Every home and family is different. Consider:

Do you have hard water? → You'll likely need a water softener or conditioning system.

Concerned about chlorine, sediment, or contaminants? → A filtration system is essential.

Want to improve taste and drinking water? → Add a reverse osmosis (RO) unit in the kitchen or opt for a system that improves drinking quality at every tap.

Want low-maintenance and eco-conscious solutions? → One Water Systems specializes in non-salt, maintenance-free solutions ideal for environmentally conscious homes.

Step 4: Choose the Right Size and Flow Rate

A good system matches the demands of your home’s size and water usage. Key considerations include:

Number of bathrooms

Number of people in the household

Daily water consumption

Plumbing size and flow rate requirements

An undersized system won’t perform efficiently. A properly sized solution ensures strong water pressure, consistent performance, and long-term reliability.

Step 5: Think Long-Term (Maintenance, Costs, and Warranty)

Look beyond the initial purchase price and consider:

Maintenance requirements – Does it need regular filter changes? Salt refills?

Operating costs – Electricity use, water waste, etc.

Warranty and support – Are you covered for parts, labor, and performance?

One Water Systems provides low-maintenance, whole-house solutions with long-lasting media and no salt, electricity, or filter replacements—backed by a solid warranty and local support.

 Choose a System You Can Trust

Your water system will impact your home for years to come. Don’t settle for a cookie-cutter solution. At One Water Systems, we offer customized water treatment solutions based on your water profile, home specs, and family needs.

The Fascinating World of 10-Legged Marine Crustaceans

Marine ecosystems are home to an astonishing diversity of creatures, and among the most intriguing are the 10-legged crustaceans belonging to the order Decapoda. This group, whose name derives from the Greek words "deka" (ten) and "pous" (foot), includes a wide variety of species such as crabs, lobsters, shrimp, and prawns. These decapods play vital roles in marine food webs, exhibit fascinating behaviors, and possess unique adaptations that allow them to thrive in diverse aquatic environments.

What Are Decapods?

Decapods are a group of crustaceans characterized by having five pairs of legs, which contribute to their mobility and ability to interact with their environment. These legs serve various purposes: some are used for walking, others for swimming, and in certain species, the front pair is modified into claws or pincers (chelae) for defense, hunting, or communication.

They are found across the globe, inhabiting environments ranging from shallow coastal waters to the deepest parts of the ocean. Decapods can vary greatly in size, from tiny shrimp measuring just a few millimeters to massive lobsters that weigh several kilograms.

Key Types of Decapods

Crabs Crabs are perhaps the most recognizable decapods, with their broad, flattened bodies and prominent pincers. They are highly adaptable and can be found in marine, freshwater, and even terrestrial habitats. Some, like the blue crab, are vital to commercial fisheries, while others, such as the coconut crab, are known for their impressive size and unique behaviors.

Lobsters Lobsters are elongated decapods with a hard exoskeleton and large, powerful claws. The American lobster is a culinary favorite, prized for its sweet, tender meat. Spiny lobsters, on the other hand, lack large claws but are equipped with long, spiny antennae for protection.

Shrimp Shrimp are small, streamlined decapods that are abundant in both marine and freshwater environments. They are crucial in the diets of many larger animals and are a staple in human cuisine. Some species, like the pistol shrimp, are famous for their unique adaptations, such as the ability to create shockwaves with their claws.

Prawns Though often confused with shrimp, prawns are distinct in their anatomy and habitat preferences. They are typically found in calmer waters and are another important food source globally.

Hermit Crabs Although not true crabs, hermit crabs are also members of the Decapoda order. They have soft abdomens and rely on scavenged shells for protection, often switching shells as they grow.

Ecological Importance

Decapods are crucial to marine ecosystems. As both predators and prey, they help regulate populations of other species and serve as a vital link in the food chain. For example:

Crabs scavenge on the ocean floor, recycling nutrients.

Shrimp filter-feed, improving water quality.

Lobsters control populations of smaller invertebrates and contribute to the balance of their habitats.

Additionally, decapods contribute significantly to human economies. Fisheries and aquaculture operations depend on species like shrimp, lobsters, and crabs, which are among the most valuable seafood commodities worldwide.

Unique Adaptations

Decapods exhibit an impressive array of adaptations that allow them to survive and thrive in challenging environments. For instance:

Exoskeletons: Made of chitin, their hard shells provide protection against predators and physical damage.

Regeneration: Many decapods can regenerate lost limbs, an ability that enhances their survival.

Camouflage: Some species, like the decorator crab, use their environment to blend in and evade predators.

Communication: Lobsters and crabs use claw gestures, body movements, and even sound to communicate.

Conservation Concerns

Despite their resilience, many decapod species face threats from overfishing, habitat destruction, and climate change. Warming oceans and acidification, for example, can affect their shell formation and reproductive success. Sustainable fishing practices and habitat protection are essential to ensure the long-term health of decapod populations.

Conclusion

The 10-legged marine crustaceans of the Decapoda order are a testament to the adaptability and diversity of life in our oceans. From their ecological roles to their economic significance, they are integral to both natural ecosystems and human livelihoods. By understanding and protecting these fascinating creatures, we can ensure they continue to thrive in the ever-changing marine world.

What Is Catalytic Carbon Media in Water Treatment?

Catalytic carbon is a type of filter media that removes select contaminants from drinking water. In this guide, we've answered the question, "What is catalytic carbon?" You'll learn how catalytic carbon filters are made, how they differ from standard activated carbon filters, what they remove, the types of systems they're used in, and more. 📌 Key Takeaways: - A catalytic carbon filter has an altered electronic structure that enhances its catalytic activity, enabling it to remove more contaminants (like chlorine and hydrogen sulfide). - This filter is made of activated carbon media that has been treated with a metal catalyst. - You can find catalytic carbon filters in point of entry (POE) and point of use (POU) water filtration systems. 📥 What Are Catalytic Carbon Filters? Catalytic carbon filters are made from high-grade carbon (usually coconut shell carbon) that's typically modified with a catalyst, like copper or silver, to enhance its ability to remove specific contaminants that conventional activated carbons may struggle to address. Like any carbon filters, catalytic carbons adsorb contaminants. The difference is that it has catalytic properties, which facilitate chemical reactions that help break down and remove certain impurities. According to Tom Scherer, Associate Professor/Agricultural Engineer at North Dakota State University, "Catalytic carbon is an advanced activated-carbon product designed to adsorb chloramines." 🔎 What Is Catalytic Carbon Made From? A catalytic carbon filter is made from activated carbon that has been treated with a catalyst. The activated carbon itself comes from various natural sources - typically coconut shell, but sometimes wood, coal, or peat. These materials are processed, giving them a large surface area and a highly porous structure. What turns activated carbon into catalytic carbon? The activated carbon media is treated to introduce a catalyst into its structure. The catalyst is usually metal, or a combination of metals, including copper or silver. These metals have catalytic properties, and the purpose of using them to treat the carbon media is to give it additional contaminant removal abilities. This treatment process involves impregnating the catalyst material into the activated carbon. There are a few ways to achieve this, including using a vapor deposition technique to deposit the catalyst on the surface, or immersing the carbon media in a solution containing the catalyst. After the catalyst treatment, the catalytic carbon is processed into filter media. It may take the form of blocks, granules, or cartridges, depending on its intended use. This media can then be used in a water filtration system to remove impurities from a tap water supply. 🚰 How Does Catalytic Carbon Work? Catalytic carbon works by adsorbing various contaminants and delivering a catalytic reaction that breaks down other impurities. Let's look at how these two processes work in more detail. Adsorption A catalytic carbon filter has an activated carbon media with a large surface area and hundreds of tiny pores. When water flows through the filter, contaminants like chlorine come into contact with its carbon surface. The carbon's porous structure allows it to trap or adsorb impurities on its surface, while water molecules can pass through the pores and exit the filter on the other side. Catalytic Reaction The catalyst incorporated into an activated carbon filter enhances its ability to target and break down other impurities. During a catalytic reaction, CC converts various contaminants into harmless ions. For example, chloramine and chlorine are converted into harmless chloride ions, and hydrogen sulfide is converted into sulfuric acid and sulfurous acid. This further improves water quality and removes contaminants that activated carbon alone can't address. The catalytic reaction occurs as the water passes through the filter media. The catalyst allows for chemical reactions to take place more rapidly than they would otherwise. 🆚 What's The Difference Between Catalytic Carbon And Activated Carbon? The big difference between conventional carbons and catalytic carbons is filter design - and, subsequently, contaminant removal. Activated carbon media, like granular activated carbon or carbon block media, removes contaminants with adsorption. Catalytic carbon contains a catalyst that helps promote chemical reactions, and the filter's catalytic activity allows it to remove additional contaminants (see the list below). Due to their enhanced contaminant removal abilities, catalytic carbon filters are typically more expensive than traditional activated carbons. 🧫 What Do Catalytic Carbon Filters Remove? Catalytic activated carbon removes: - Chloramines - Chlorine - Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) - Hydrogen sulfide - Taste and odor impurities - Herbicides - Pesticides - Fluoride - Some industrial chemicals - Some organic solvents - Some disinfection byproducts What can't this filter type remove from water? Catalytic carbon alone won't remove heavy metals, minerals, bacteria, viruses, or dissolved solids. You'll need to combine the filter with another media or choose a different water treatment system to remove these contaminants. 📋 Types Of Filters That Use Catalytic Carbon There are various filters that use catalytic carbon media, including: POE Systems Catalytic carbon is most commonly used in point of entry (POE) water filtration systems. These systems are installed at the main water line into your home and filter water to remove contaminants before it travels around your plumbing system. That means you can enjoy filtered water at every fixture, faucet, and appliance throughout your home. POU Systems Some point of use (POU) systems, such as under-sink filtration systems and countertop filters, also use catalytic carbon media. The activated carbon surface, modified to produce a faster chemical reaction rate, is particularly beneficial in POU systems for people who drink municipal water that has been disinfected with chloramine. 📉 Catalytic Carbon Filter Lifespan Catalytic carbon systems typically have a media lifespan of 6-24 months before needing to be replaced. There are several factors that affect the lifespan of catalytic carbon filter medial, including: - The filter size & surface area - The more filter media used and the larger its surface area, the greater its contaminant holding capacity and the longer it'll last before becoming saturated with impurities. - The quality of the filter media - The better the filter quality, the longer it should hold up, and the better its lifespan. - The water conditions - The more contaminants the water contains, the faster the filter media will become clogged and the shorter its lifespan will be. - Your water usage - The more water you use per day, the more contaminants the filter will be exposed to, and the faster it'll become clogged and require replacing. The manufacturer of the filter you're looking to buy should outline the expected filter lifespan. Make sure to replace the filter on time - failing to do so may mean that the filter will no longer remove contaminants from your water. 📆 When Should You Use A Catalytic Carbon Filter? You should use a catalytic carbon filter if you need to remove specific contaminants that an activated carbon filter alone can't remove. A CC filter's enhanced catalytic activity promotes chemical reactions that enable the filter to remove hydrogen sulfide and chloramine - two filters that conventional carbon can only reduce slightly. If you know that your water contains a lot of hydrogen sulfide, or your local water supply is disinfected with chloramine instead of chlorine, a catalytic carbon filter should improve your water quality much more effectively than a normal carbon block or granular activated carbon filter. 📝 Final Word Activated carbon makes for an effective solution for removing chlorine, taste, and odor from water - but if you need to remove additional contaminants, including chloramines and hydrogen sulfide, the best solution is to upgrade to a filter with added catalytic functionality. Hopefully, you now know enough about these filters to decide whether they're best suited to your contaminant removal preferences.

Catalytic carbon is used predominantly for water purification, but it has other uses, too, including air purification, removal of impurities in the food and beverage industry, and decolorization and deodorization of liquids. Is catalytic carbon better than reverse osmosis? In terms of contaminant removal, no, catalytic carbon isn't better than reverse osmosis. Catalytic carbon can only remove a select handful of contaminants, while reverse osmosis removes up to 99% of all total dissolved solids. However, if you're just looking to remove select contaminants (like chloramine) and don't want to purify your water, a catalytic carbon filter may be better than reverse osmosis for you because it's cheaper, retains healthy minerals, and doesn't waste water. Does catalytic carbon remove chlorine? Yes, catalytic carbon removes chlorine. The filter can remove chloramines, too - both chlorine and chloramine are converted to chloride. This leaves behind ammonia, and the media then oxidizes this ammonia and eliminates it from your water. Does catalytic carbon remove fluoride? Yes, a catalytic carbon filter can usually remove fluoride. However, CC might not completely eliminate this mineral from your water. Make sure the filter is marketed as a fluoride removal filter if removing fluoride is your main aim. Does catalytic carbon remove iron? Yes, catalytic carbon can remove low levels of iron. However, if you have a big iron problem, you'll need to look at a dedicated iron filter, like air injection/oxidation systems or birm filtration systems. If you have ferric iron (rust) particles, a sediment filter should remove these from your water. Read the full article
