Including filter system and high-performance 1,2,3-Trichloropropane filter.
1,2,3-trichloropropane is a man-made industrial compound that can appear at very low levels in drinking water and may persist in groundwater if it infiltrates the supply. Because it has no distinct taste, smell, or color, homeowners in Blocker can’t rely on senses to detect it — the only way to know if it’s present is through proper water testing. Many local residents choose a whole-house approach so every faucet, shower and appliance is protected rather than depending solely on a single point-of-use device.
Seeing 1,2,3-trichloropropane show up on a test can raise questions about everyday activities like cooking, bathing, and laundry. The encouraging news for Blocker families is that there are proven residential treatment options. The best choice depends on your home’s water source and the concentration reported, so a professional assessment is helpful to determine which technology and system size will give reliable results for your household.
The most effective single-filter option for reducing 1,2,3-trichloropropane in a residence is granular activated carbon (GAC) designed for chemical adsorption, configured as a whole-house carbon filter. Activated carbon removes many 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 all matter — so the tank must be sized to your home’s use to ensure adequate treatment for showers, faucets, appliances and outdoor spigots.
At Mr. Pure Water we can design a whole-house GAC system for Blocker homes that fits your daily water use and pressure requirements. Installing pre-filtration to remove sediment is commonly recommended to prevent premature clogging of the carbon bed and to keep performance steady. Like any adsorption media, the carbon needs periodic replacement based on how much water you use and what’s in it, so we include maintenance planning to help maintain protection throughout the house without relying on multiple point-of-use units.
