Improve the taste and health of your home’s tap water with a carbon filtration system installation from CenterPoint Energy’s Home Service Plus® (HSP).

The water that comes into many Minnesota homes is treated with chlorine that can affect the taste and smell of the water and may leave residue on home appliances. 

A carbon filtration system can improve the taste and smell of your tap water. HSP offers Minnesota homeowners improved water from one of our two types of carbon filtration systems - either a standalone unit or a unit paired with a water softener. 

Our team of technicians will handle the installation of a carbon filtration system from start to finish.


Enjoy the benefits of carbon filtration

Having HSP install a carbon filtration system in your home may have a number of benefits:

  • Removes chlorine - chlorine is added to our drinking water in order to kill off harmful bacteria. The levels of chlorine are safe to drink, however it does affect the smell and taste of your tap water. Carbon filtration systems remove the chlorine before it comes out of your tap. 
  • Removal of toxins - other than chlorine, carbon filters can remove  natural organic matter, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and synthetic organic compounds from water.
  • Better taste and smell - by removing the chlorine and other toxins from your drinking water, carbon filtration systems can improve the taste and smell of tap water.
  • Sustainable solution - the granular activated carbon in carbon filtration systems is made from raw organic material​ from readily available resources such as shells and wood.
  • Simple and cost effective - carbon filtration systems are lower cost when compared to buying bottled water, and the carbon filters are easy to change.​


How carbon filtration works​

At the heart of carbon filtration is the concept of adsorption. 

Adsorption works by molecules of a substance attaching themselves to the molecules of another substance. The activated granulated carbon in a carbon filtration system features a highly porous structure, offering an extensive surface area for water impurities, including chlorine, to adhere to as water passes through. ​
