Organics

Organic compounds in water, including pesticides, herbicides, and natural decaying matter, can affect taste, odor, and safety. Some organics are known to produce harmful disinfection byproducts (like trihalomethanes) when water is treated with chlorine. Long-term exposure to certain organic pollutants may increase the risk of cancer or endocrine disruption. Removing organics is crucial for producing clean, safe, and pleasant-tasting water.
