Including filter system and high-performance 1,2,3-Trichloropropane filter.
1,2,3-trichloropropane is a man-made industrial chemical that can appear in drinking water at very low concentrations and may persist in groundwater. Because it won’t change the taste, smell, or look of your water, testing is the only way to know if it’s present. Many Frink homeowners choose whole-house protection so showers, laundry, and every faucet—not just the kitchen—are covered rather than relying on a single point-of-use device.
Seeing 1,2,3-trichloropropane on a water report can raise questions about routine tasks like cooking and bathing; fortunately, treatment approaches are well established and residential options exist. The best choice for a Frink property depends on your water source and the levels reported, so a professional assessment is helpful to identify the appropriate technology and correct system capacity for your household.
For residential removal, the most effective single-filter choice is a granular activated carbon (GAC) unit sized as a whole-house carbon filter. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic contaminants on its porous surface as water flows through, and because 1,2,3-trichloropropane can be stubborn, the specific carbon type, contact time, and flow rate must be matched to your home. When properly designed for a Frink residence, a GAC tank can deliver treated water to showers, faucets, appliances, and outdoor spigots from one central point.
Mr. Pure Water can design and install a whole-house activated carbon system for Frink homes that meets your household’s flow and pressure needs while targeting 1,2,3-trichloropropane. We commonly pair carbon tanks with pre-filters to trap sediment and protect the carbon bed, and carbon media requires periodic replacement based on use and contaminant load, so we include maintenance planning in the system design. A correctly installed GAC whole-house system gives you treated water throughout the home without needing multiple point-of-use units.
