I can read on the picture where it says 'Sediment Filter' and 'Pre carbon filter' but does this pack contain VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) filters?

what color are you looking? if it's the green one it's not included here and it's a bit pricey compare to these 3. You only need to change the green once in every 5 years.

Well, there are three filter tubes, and this covers all of them - so I guess so. It doesn't have the Reverse Osmosis filter.

I really don't know the answer to your question -- but I'd certainly like to know "just in case" I need the information in the future. The main problem I have is the bits of charcoal that continually come through the filter (especially weekly when I'm running a strong stream of hot water through it to help "clean" it.) Good luck.

I bought an open box item that didn't come with filters. I use these filters: Vacmaster VRC2 2.5 Gallon Cloth Vacuum Filter, 3 Pack, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002MUAGF0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

No, this system is a solid carbon block filter. It works by trapping and holding contaminates. If you would like to view a copy of the NSF/California certification that lists the contaminates this filter can reduce, please give us a call at 800-842-4605 and we can email the certification or direct you to the link on our website.

It comes with one filter. We ordered this filter to use with the Drinkwell 360: Reusable Filter for Drinkwell 360 + 3-month Supply of Carbon but it is currently out of stock at Amazon.com

I don't remember. i know when i was researching there was more than one layer in the explanation picture on their web site . . . so at least two typse of filtering. i think it is partical & carbon at the least, but i am not sure. i am over due for a replacement filter - it lasted quite a while. i am not unhappy with this persay, but i like the taste of the water from the piter i used to keep in the fridge better.

Yes it is but not like your carbon experience fears. The ONLY issue is the dust it accumulates and the hand grenade care you must take (take it outside) to keep the dust from "shedding" when you change it. I like the filtering it does and it's obvious!

Other comments saying you should not use carbon with it is not true. Seachem rep recommended to use carbon along with it (but is not necessary), which filters different things.

WP2-BVC is the model I have and this kit worked for me fine, just make sure your filter cartridge is inline with the incoming water first and your carbon filter is second.

these are strcitly sediment filters. i am going to add a second stage to my inline filter to house a carbon filter- that is the only thing that will remove most ( not always all ) odors and odd tastes. if you have high sulfur, you might consider a twin carbon filter system in order to bring the taste down to neutral.Again, nearly EVERY filter that lists it as a " sediment filter " is ONLY for particulate matter ( debris, sand, small particles etc ), NOT for taste or odors.

Hi Carol, there is an active carbon filter packed in it, active carbon does run out or better yet lose it's efficiency. They are reasonably priced a multi use personal air filter though and they work well.

it has a carbon filter witch is way better than just the plain white filters. but carbon filters absorb just so much and than stop working. use the plastic bag when not in use to last longer. what it is capable of absorbing is hard to say. i use for keeping blown up dust when mowing grass. and helps keep smell out when target shooting indoors.i bought extra carbon filters to change each time i reach about 40hrs of use.

Came with two types of ceramic biomedia and prefilter type media that would capture large particles and also allow bacterial growth. You may add carbon if you want, (carbon in the nylon bag in place of one of the biomedias) but the more you look into carbon you will learn that it is not so useful. Good filter, customer service is poor as is the instruction booklet i received. Good luck there are many decent canister filters available, especially in this price range.

Yes. A complete set of filters is included in the box. Pre-filter is good for 3 months and the main filters last 1 year.

Yes a sediment filter, but of the same size 5 micron. The idea is that the sediment filter's job is to get the "junk" out it's a physical barrier, the carbon filters are there to deal with chemically removing stuff from water not physically blocking. If you go with a large sized filter before you're going to let through things that are less than 20 microns and those will end up clogging these carbon filters since they will then become your physical barrier for stuff larger than 5micron.

Since we use the local water supply we do not have sediment in our water, so I can't answer that part of the question. Our water is chlorinated and the filter takes out all odor of that or any other chemicals. We are very pleased with this product.
