Default reduce/eliminate TTHMs (Trihalomethanes)

I am looking for a whole-house (POE) filter, and appropriate housing, that would reduce/eliminate TTHMs (Trihalomethanes) in my water in a 2 bathroom house. I understand TTHMs are a by-product of chlorination. My plumber would like to use American Plumber products, if possible. I am also concerned about significant water pressure drop with the use of a filter.



My plumber originally suggested a heavy duty 20” housing with a radial flow/GAC filter (100,000 Gal @ 4gpm, max flow rate 8 gpm). My concern is that the filter has a 25-micron wrap, and I thought the micron would have to be lower to remove TTHMs?? I thought a carbon block filter would work better, but I’m not sure if that is correct
