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 turn up in drinking supplies at very low concentrations. Because it has no distinctive taste, smell, or color, you won’t be able to detect it without a proper water test. Many Longwood homeowners prefer a whole-house system so that every faucet, shower and appliance—from homes near Reiter Park to neighborhoods like Wekiva Springs and Sweetwater Oaks—gets protected rather than relying only on a single point-of-use device.
Seeing 1,2,3-trichloropropane on a water test can raise understandable questions about everyday uses such as cooking, bathing, and laundry. Treatment approaches are well established, and residential options exist that effectively reduce it when sized and configured correctly. In Seminole County’s humid subtropical climate and with Central Florida’s typically hard groundwater, a local professional assessment helps determine the best technology and proper system capacity for your Longwood property.
The most effective single-filter choice for tackling 1,2,3-trichloropropane in a home is usually granular activated carbon (GAC) made for chemical adsorption, installed as a whole-house carbon filter. Activated carbon removes many organic contaminants by adsorbing them into its porous structure as water passes through. Because 1,2,3-trichloropropane can be more persistent than some other compounds, the specific carbon grade, contact time and flow rate are important—so the tank must be sized to match your Longwood household’s water use and pressure.
Mr. Pure Water can design a whole-house GAC system for Longwood homes that balances removal of 1,2,3-trichloropropane with local needs like hard Central Florida water and household flow rates. We commonly include pre-filtration to limit sediment and protect the carbon bed, keeping performance steady across showers, faucets and appliances. Because carbon is adsorption-based, media replacement is scheduled based on how much water you use and what’s in it—so we plan maintenance up front to deliver reliable treated water throughout your home.
