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 detected in drinking water at very low concentrations and can linger in groundwater. Because it doesn’t change the taste, smell, or look of water, testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s present. Many Carbur homeowners choose a whole-house solution so every faucet, shower and appliance is protected — not just a single point like the kitchen sink.
Seeing 1,2,3-Trichloropropane on a water report can be unsettling when you think about everyday uses such as cooking, bathing, and laundry. Fortunately, residential treatment options are well established and effective when selected to match the source and level of contamination. A local professional assessment in Carbur will determine the right technology and system size for your household’s needs and water source.
The most effective single-filter approach for tackling 1,2,3-Trichloropropane in a home is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter formulated for chemical adsorption. Activated carbon removes many organic contaminants by adsorbing them into its extensive porous surface as water flows through. Because 1,2,3-Trichloropropane can be more difficult to remove than some contaminants, the carbon grade, contact time and flow rate are important — so the tank must be sized properly for your Carbur property to ensure showers, faucets, appliances and outdoor spigots are all treated.
Mr. Pure Water can design and install a whole-house activated carbon system for Carbur homes that fits your family’s water use and pressure requirements. We commonly add pre-filtration to keep sediment out of the carbon bed and preserve consistent performance. Like all adsorption media, GAC requires regular replacement based on usage and contaminant levels, so we include maintenance planning to keep your system working well. With the right installation, you’ll have treated water throughout your home without needing multiple point-of-use units.
