Including filter system and high-performance 1,2,3-Trichloropropane filter.
1,2,3-trichloropropane is a man-made industrial chemical that can sometimes be found in drinking water at trace levels and can persist where it reaches groundwater. Because it has no reliable taste, smell, or visual cues, the only way to know if it’s present in your supply is through proper testing. Many Alafaya homeowners prefer a whole-house solution so every faucet, shower and appliance — from Waterford Lakes to Avalon Park — gets treated rather than relying only on a single point-of-use filter.
Seeing 1,2,3-trichloropropane on a water report can raise questions about everyday uses like cooking, bathing and laundry. Fortunately, residential treatment approaches are well established and effective when matched to the source and level detected. In Alafaya and the greater Orange County area, where supplies commonly test hard, a professional assessment will help determine the right technology, system size and any pre-treatment needed to handle mineral scale and protect long-term performance.
The most effective single-filter choice for reducing 1,2,3-trichloropropane in a home is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system sized for your flow and demand. GAC removes many organic contaminants by adsorbing them into its highly porous surface as water passes through. Because 1,2,3-trichloropropane can be persistent, the carbon grade, contact time and system flow rate are critical — a correctly sized GAC tank will provide treated water to showers, faucets, appliances and outdoor spigots throughout your Alafaya home.
Mr. Pure Water can design a whole-house activated carbon system for Alafaya properties that accounts for household water use, pressure needs, and the hard water conditions common in this part of Central Florida. We typically include pre-filtration to remove sediment and protect the carbon bed, and we plan scheduled carbon replacement based on your water use and contaminant load to keep performance consistent. When installed and maintained correctly, a single GAC tank delivers treated water to every fixture without juggling multiple point-of-use units.
