Whole-house catalytic carbon for chloramine

No district prohibition on a brine drain turned up in the current file.

A single black whole-house carbon tank with a control head, installed in a garage and connected to copper pipe.
Whole-house carbon tank. No brine tank.

Catalytic carbon with a chloramine claim (NSF/ANSI 42 for chloramine). Regular chlorine carbon is the wrong box.

Other options that still fit

  • Do not buy a softener on this supply

    This supply is soft on the published numbers. A salt tank is usually the wrong box unless you are on a well or a different utility. Test the tap before you buy hardness equipment.

    Shop water test kits

  • Under-sink reverse osmosis

    The under-sink RO we actually run is Cloud RO — NSF/ANSI 58, kitchen tap, not a whole-house tank. Check the exact listing if PFAS is why you are shopping. Shop Amazon first for under-sink RO, or buy Cloud direct. Waterdrop is a tankless option if you want that path. A certifier-listed pitcher is the cheap first step. Nobody is paying for a medical claim.

Extra context besides the utility report and the chart above — geology, an unregulated table, or a published study. Not a second set of printed tap numbers.

  • MicroplasticsWHO’s 2019 review examined studies that found microplastic particles in treated tap and bottled water in many places. That is a published-occurrence finding, not a number from this city’s water-quality report, and we do not invent a particles-per-liter count for the tap.Microplastics in drinking-water — World Health Organization
  • Other 2025 table numbersThe same 2025 tables print these as detected results, not a Falls Lake / Lake Benson blend we invented.Free chlorine 2.26 ppm (range 0.09–3.95). Fluoride 0.71 ppm (0.14–0.71). Sodium 24.3 ppm (22.8–24.3). Lead 90th percentile ND (0 of 85 above AL 15).

Raleigh drinking water comes from Falls Lake and Lake Benson and is delivered by Raleigh Water (PWS NC0392010). No Raleigh Water or City of Raleigh residential softener ban like LACSD Measure S turned up. Ask the sewer agency on the bill before you cut a brine drain. This is not a legal opinion.

The 2025 Consumer Confidence Report prints hardness, total as CaCO3, 25.2 ppm (range 21.9–35.3) as one unregulated row. We do not invent a two-lake blend.

Chloramines 2.80 ppm (range 0.02–4.00). A separate chlorine row prints 2.26 ppm (range 0.09–3.95). TTHMs 34.2 ppb (range 7.60–42.8). HAA5 22.0 ppb (range 4.28–33.6). Kitchen shopping stays the Cloud RO / Waterdrop path already used on other cities if a listing is why you are looking.
