Including filter system and high-performance 1,2,3-Trichloropropane filter.
1,2,3-Trichloropropane is a man-made industrial chemical that can occasionally be found in drinking water at trace concentrations and can persist in groundwater. Because it has no distinctive taste, smell, or color, the only way to know if it’s present in your supply is through proper water testing. Many Barrineau Park homeowners choose a whole-house strategy so that every faucet, shower and appliance is covered 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 activities like cooking, bathing and clothes washing — and that’s understandable. Fortunately, residential treatment options are well established. The correct approach depends on your source water and the level that needs to be treated, so a local assessment helps determine the best technology and system size for a Barrineau Park home.
The most effective single-filter choice for removing 1,2,3-Trichloropropane in a household is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter sized for your flow and usage. GAC removes many organic chemicals by adsorbing them into its porous surface as water flows through the media. Because 1,2,3-Trichloropropane can be more difficult to treat, the kind of carbon, contact time and system flow rate are important factors — so the tank must be properly specified for your home to protect showers, faucets, appliances and outdoor spigots.
Mr. Pure Water can design a whole-house activated carbon system for Barrineau Park properties that meets your household’s water use and pressure requirements. We commonly include pre-filtration to keep sediment out of the carbon bed and preserve consistent performance. Like all adsorption media, carbon needs periodic replacement based on how much water you use and the contaminant load, so we build a maintenance plan into the installation. When installed and sized correctly, a single GAC system delivers treated water across the entire home without multiple point-of-use units.
