VOC Dangers
Gasses dissolved in tap water introduce hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like chloroform into a home’s atmosphere, turning it into a gas chamber! VOC’s formed by chlorine and other chemicals damage the central nervous system, and increases your risk of asthma, airway inflammation, and respiratory allergies.
VOCs at Home
Studies by the Center for Environmental Epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh published in Environmental Science and Technology conclude VOCs like chloroform evaporate rapidly during normal household activities such as dish washing, using the garbage disposal, doing the laundry, cleaning, bathing and flushing the toilet.
Studies indicate that, at normal shower temperatures, about 50 percent of chloroform in water escapes into the air – before the water even reaches the shower floor! The exposure through showering exceeds that of drinking by 600 percent!
Here are just a few sources that can release chlorine vapors into your indoor environment and contribute to poor air quality and skin problems:
• Dishwashers – Steam generates lots of chloroform
• Washing Machines –Clothes get contaminated by chlorine
• Toilets – Flushing releases chlorine vapors
• Showers – Chloroform steam becomes concentrated
Dolphin offers the Best Protection
Life’s Charged Modified Composite Blend® AQS filter media is more effective against a wider range of contaminants than any other filter media. In addition to chlorine and chloramines, the Dolphin VOC filter is also effective against:
• Hexavalent Chromium-6
• Heavy Metals
• Trihalomethanes
• Radon Gas
• Many more
The Dolphin VOC filter is designed to work in conjunction with the Dolphin 1044-F Fluoride filter to protect your homes against the widest range of contaminants possible!
The Life VOC will filter a maximum of 8 gpm and is suited for both 3/4” and 1” incoming water lines (2 1/2 - 3 1/2 bathrooms).
The unit is available either with an automatic backwash valve (which requires a 110 V outlet and access to a drain line) or a straight in/out valve with 5 micron pre-filter. The unit requires professional installation.

What makes the Dolphin Filter System so unique?
- Many companies are claiming to "reinvent the wheel" in promoting their filter designs. The companies tout the number of layers in their filters, suggesting that more layers are better. The truth is, adding too many layers can interfere with the effectiveness of a filter cartridge or tank, and nullify any value that the additional layers purport to provide. A filter that uses layers in an attempt to work well with all water types ultimately will excel at filtering none of them.
- The main advantage of Life filter media is their “Charged Modified Composite Blend”. Charge modification enables a single standard cartridge, filled with AQS media, to filter as if there were many cartridges present! AQS filters do not require 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 or 10 or 12 etc. layers of different filter medias like many competitors do in their cartridges. The Life AQS filter works using several different types of filter media which have differing electrical charges distributed throughout the media.
- The charge modification system allows a given filter media to remove a wider range of contaminants from water without having to resort to adding layers to a filter. Ultimately, there is a limit to the number of filters that can fit into a given water filtration system. It makes sense to use filter media that removes the widest range of contaminants possible.
- Why is adding layers to a filter such an ineffective way to improve filtration efficiency?
- Each time an additional filter media "layer" is added to a conventional cartridge for the purpose of removing a new chemical compound, the addition of the media necessitates reducing a portion of the existing media(s) in the cartridge. Making the layers thinner reduces their effectiveness. Ultimately if too
many "layers of different medias" are used in a filter cartridge, the filter becomes ineffective for almost everything because there is not enough of any one media available to effectively remove the contaminants the media layer was added to remove in the first place. Filters with lots of layers look good on paper, but are almost useless when it comes to filtration!
- Each time an additional filter media "layer" is added to a conventional cartridge for the purpose of removing a new chemical compound, the addition of the media necessitates reducing a portion of the existing media(s) in the cartridge. Making the layers thinner reduces their effectiveness. Ultimately if too
- The only way to use a single cartridge/tank to remove a wide range of chemical contaminants is to use a Life AQS filter!
