The AquaOx adds 5 more media layers to also remove PFAS, lead, heavy metals, and 300+ additional contaminants. If your main issue is taste, odor, and chlorine on municipal water, the Carbon is a great fit - if you need broader contaminant removal, step up to The AquaOx.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes this system require filter cartridge replacements?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eNo. The Carbon by AquaOx self-cleans through automatic backwash cycles, so there are no cartridges to swap out and no routine maintenance required. The coconut shell carbon media lasts over 1 million gallons before it needs to be replaced - typically many years of normal household use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan this system be used on well water?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eNo - the Carbon by AquaOx is designed and warranted for city and municipally treated water supplies only. It is not covered by the warranty if installed on a well. For well water with iron, sulfur, bacteria, or other contaminants, AquaOx recommends stepping up to the FE Edition, RE Edition, or pairing with a UV sterilizer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat contaminants does the Carbon by AquaOx NOT remove?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eCarbon filtration is highly effective for chlorine, chloramines, VOCs, and taste and odor compounds, but it does not remove lead, PFAS (forever chemicals), pesticides, or heavy metals. If removal of those contaminants is a priority, consider upgrading to The AquaOx, which includes multi-stage media designed to address a much broader range of contaminants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat does the 5-year warranty cover?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe warranty covers the tank and control valve for 5 years from the date of purchase. The system is built with NSF-certified parts and media.
