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 shows up in drinking water at very low concentrations. Because it has no distinct taste, smell, or color, you won’t be able to detect it without proper water testing. Many Gordon homeowners choose a house-wide system so showers, laundry, and every faucet—not just the kitchen sink—receive treated water for greater peace of mind.
Seeing 1,2,3-trichloropropane listed on a water report can be unsettling when you think about everyday activities like cooking and bathing. Fortunately, residential treatment approaches are well established and effective. The best option depends on your source water and contamination level, so a local assessment helps determine the right technology and the correct system size for a Gordon household.
The most effective single-filter choice for treating 1,2,3-trichloropropane at the whole-house level is granular activated carbon (GAC) made for chemical adsorption, installed as a full-home 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 more difficult to capture, the specific carbon grade, contact time, and flow rate are important—so the tank must be sized and specified correctly for your home’s water use. A properly designed GAC unit provides treated water to showers, faucets, appliances, and outdoor spigots from a single point.
Mr. Pure Water can design and install a whole-house activated carbon system tailored to Gordon homes and your household’s flow and pressure needs. We commonly include pre-filtration to remove sediment before the carbon bed, which helps the system perform reliably over time. As with any adsorption media, the carbon will require periodic replacement based on how much water you use and the contaminant load, so we plan maintenance schedules up front. A correctly installed GAC system delivers treated water throughout the home without depending on separate point-of-use units.
