Including filter system and high-performance 1,2,3-Trichloropropane filter.
1,2,3-trichloropropane is a man-made industrial chemical that can occur in drinking water at very low concentrations and may persist in groundwater. Because it has no reliable taste, odor, or visible sign, the only way to know if it’s present in your Lewis water is through proper laboratory testing. Many Lewis homeowners choose a whole-house filtration strategy so every fixture — from the kitchen sink to outdoor spigots — is protected rather than relying on a single point-of-use device.
Seeing 1,2,3-trichloropropane listed on a water report can be worrying when you think about cooking, bathing, or washing clothes, but there are established treatment options for residential systems. The best approach depends on your water source and the level detected, so a local assessment is useful to identify the right technology and capacity for your Lewis home. That professional evaluation ensures the system you install matches your household’s flow and usage patterns.
For in-home removal, the most effective single-filter choice is typically granular activated carbon (GAC) made 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 the tank. Because 1,2,3-trichloropropane can be more difficult to treat, the specific carbon grade, contact time and flow rate are important — so the tank must be sized correctly for your Lewis plumbing and usage. A properly specified GAC system treats water for showers, faucets, appliances and yard spigots all from one central point.
Mr. Pure Water can design and install a whole-house activated carbon system for Lewis homes that matches your household’s pressure and consumption. We commonly include pre-filtration to keep sediment out of the carbon bed and preserve consistent performance over time. Like other adsorption media, carbon requires periodic replacement based on how much water you use and the contaminant load, so we build a maintenance plan into the installation. With a correctly sized and maintained GAC tank, you’ll have treated water throughout your Lewis home without relying on multiple point-of-use filters.
