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 very low concentrations and can persist in groundwater. Because it has no distinct taste, smell, or color, the only reliable way to know if it’s present in your supply is through proper water testing. In Bithlo and surrounding parts of Orange County, where homeowners may be on municipal systems or private wells and water hardness can vary, many residents choose a whole-house solution so every faucet and shower is protected rather than relying solely on a single point-of-use filter.
Seeing 1,2,3-trichloropropane on a water test can raise questions about daily activities like cooking, bathing, and laundering. Fortunately, treatment approaches are well established and there are reliable residential options. The appropriate remedy depends on your water source—municipal supply versus a private well common around Bithlo—and the level identified, so a professional assessment helps determine the best technology and correct system sizing for your household’s usage and the region’s moderate water hardness.
The most effective single-filter choice for addressing 1,2,3-trichloropropane in a home is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system sized for chemical adsorption. GAC removes many organic contaminants as water passes through its porous media, but because 1,2,3-trichloropropane can be persistent, the specific carbon type, contact time and flow rate are important — the tank must be selected to match your flow and usage patterns. A properly designed GAC whole-house filter will treat water for showers, faucets, appliances and outdoor spigots throughout your Bithlo property.
At Mr. Pure Water we can size and install a whole-house activated carbon system to target 1,2,3-trichloropropane while accommodating your household’s pressure and demand. Pre-filtration is commonly added to remove sediment and protect the carbon bed, which helps maintain consistent performance in Central Florida’s humid environment and moderate-hardness waters. Carbon is adsorption media and requires periodic replacement based on use and contaminant load, so we include maintenance planning to keep your system working — giving you treated water across your Bithlo home without needing multiple point-of-use units.
