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 trace levels and may linger in groundwater. You won’t be able to detect it by taste, smell, or sight, so the only way to know if it’s present in your Lakewood water is through proper lab testing. Many homeowners in the area prefer a whole-house system so showers, laundry, and every faucet—not just the kitchen sink—receive the same protection.
Seeing 1,2,3-trichloropropane on a water report can leave you wondering about routine tasks like cooking and bathing. The encouraging news is that residential treatment options are well-established. Choosing the best approach for a Lakewood property depends on the water source and the levels found, so a professional evaluation will determine the correct technology and system size for your household needs.
For whole-home removal of 1,2,3-trichloropropane, the leading single-filter choice is a granular activated carbon (GAC) tank sized as a whole-house carbon filter. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic chemicals as water flows through its porous surface. Because 1,2,3-trichloropropane can be stubborn, the specific carbon type, contact time and flow rate are important—so the system must be correctly sized to handle typical Lakewood water use and pressure. A properly configured GAC unit treats water for showers, faucets, appliances and outdoor spigots from one central point.
Mr. Pure Water can design a whole-house activated carbon system for Lakewood homes to target 1,2,3-trichloropropane while meeting your family’s flow and pressure needs. We often include pre-filtration to remove sediment that could shorten the carbon bed’s life and to keep performance steady. Because carbon is an adsorption media, it requires periodic media change based on usage and contaminant load, so maintenance planning is part of the installation. When sized and installed correctly, a single GAC tank provides treated water throughout your Lakewood home without relying on multiple point-of-use devices.
