Including filter system and high-performance 1,2,3-Trichloropropane filter.
1,2,3-Trichloropropane is a man-made industrial chemical that can persist in groundwater and sometimes turn up in drinking water at trace levels. Because it doesn’t change the taste, smell, or look of water, the only way to know if it’s present is through proper testing. Homeowners in Benbow often choose a whole-house solution so every faucet and fixture — not just the kitchen — gets treated and protected from contaminants they can’t detect by sight or smell.
Seeing 1,2,3-Trichloropropane on a water test can be unsettling, especially when you’re thinking about cooking, bathing, and washing clothes. The encouraging part is that residential treatment approaches are well established and effective when matched to the source and level of contamination. In Benbow, where many homes experience hard water from Florida’s limestone aquifers, a professional assessment helps determine the right technology and proper sizing so your system handles both chemical removal and typical household flow and pressure needs.
For many homes the single most effective whole-house filter for 1,2,3-Trichloropropane is granular activated carbon (GAC) sized and installed as a point-of-entry carbon tank. GAC removes organic contaminants by adsorbing them into its porous surface as water flows through. Because 1,2,3-trichloropropane can be stubborn, the specific carbon type, contact time and flow rate are important — so the system must be correctly sized for your Benbow household to ensure showers, taps and appliances are treated consistently.
Mr. Pure Water can design a whole-house activated carbon system for Benbow homes that balances removal of 1,2,3-Trichloropropane with your household’s water use and pressure requirements. We commonly include pre-filtration to protect the carbon bed from sediment and to maintain steady performance, especially in Florida’s hard-water conditions where mineral scale can be a factor. Carbon media requires periodic replacement based on use and contaminant levels, so we build a maintenance plan into every installation to keep treated water flowing from every tap without relying on multiple point-of-use units.
