Is water organic?

Water is not considered to be an organic compound. An organic compound is a type of chemical compound that contains carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms, and may also contain other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. Organic compounds are often found in living things, and many of them are essential for life. Water, on the other hand, is a simple inorganic compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. It does not contain carbon and is not essential for the growth and development of living organisms in the same way that organic compounds are. However, water is a vital component of all living organisms and is necessary for their survival.

Can tap water be organic?

No, tap water cannot be considered organic. The term "organic" is typically used to describe food and other products that are produced using methods that do not involve the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms, or irradiation. In the case of tap water, it is not produced for consumption and therefore is not subject to the same regulations as food products. Tap water is regulated by government agencies to ensure that it meets certain standards for safety and quality, but these standards do not include requirements related to the use of organic methods in its production. It’s important to note that only a handful of contaminants are required to be included in annual Consumer Confidence Reports or Water Quality Reports issued by local water treatment facilities. There are literally thousands of potentially harmful unregulated contaminants that aren’t accounted for by the EPA and not tested for by local water treatment facilities.

Does organic matter?

Organic is a term used to describe products that are grown or produced without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or other artificial or chemically based inputs. The term "organic" is regulated by various organizations, such as the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in the United States, which has established a set of standards for the production and labeling of organic products. Whether or not organic products matter depends on an individual's personal values and priorities. 

Some people may prioritize buying organic products because they believe that organic farming practices are better for the environment, as they often involve techniques such as crop rotation and the use of natural fertilizers that can help to improve soil health and reduce the use of synthetic chemicals. Others may choose to buy organic products because they believe that they are healthier or safer for human consumption, as they are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and other potentially harmful chemicals. Ultimately, the decision to buy organic products is a personal one, and it is up to each individual to determine whether the benefits of buying organic products outweigh the potential costs or trade-offs.

organic water filter

Carbon block water filters, on the other hand, are made from a solid block of activated carbon, which is compressed and shaped into a cylinder or other shape. Water is passed through the filter, and the impurities are trapped in the pores of the activated carbon as it flows through the filter. Carbon block filters are generally more effective at removing impurities than granular carbon filters, as they have a larger surface area and a more consistent pore size. At Epic, we use carbon block and carbon fiber block filters on all of our products. We do not use granular activated carbon by itself in any of our products. 

They are often used in higher-end water filtration systems or in point-of-use filters where a high level of water purification is desired. In general, carbon block filters are more effective at removing impurities than granular carbon filters, but they may also be more expensive. The best type of filter for a particular application will depend on the specific impurities that need to be removed and the desired level of water purification.
