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 at very low concentrations. Because it doesn’t change the taste, smell, or look of water, the only way to know if it’s present in your Maitland home is through proper laboratory testing. Many homeowners in Orange County choose a whole-house strategy so every faucet, shower and appliance—whether in Dommerich Estates or near Lake Lily Park—is protected rather than relying only on a single point-of-use filter.
Seeing 1,2,3-trichloropropane on a water report can be worrying when you think about cooking, bathing, or washing clothes. The effective part is that residential treatments are well understood and options exist that will work in humid subtropical climates like ours. The best choice depends on your water source, the measured concentration, and local factors such as Maitland’s typically hard water from the Floridan aquifer. A professional assessment will help pair your household and plumbing with the correct technology and system capacity.
For homes, the single most effective filter type for reducing 1,2,3-trichloropropane is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system engineered for chemical adsorption. Carbon’s porous media captures many organic contaminants as water flows through, but performance depends on the specific carbon, sufficient contact time, and proper flow rates—especially important in hard-water areas like Maitland where mineral scale can affect plumbing. When sized correctly, a GAC tank treats water for showers, faucets, laundry, and outdoor spigots all from one location.
Mr. Pure Water can design and install a whole-home activated carbon solution for Maitland properties that fits your family’s usage and pressure needs. We often include pre-filtration to remove sediment and protect the carbon bed, helping it perform consistently despite hard water from the Floridan aquifer. Like any adsorption media, carbon requires periodic replacement based on use and contaminant load, so we plan maintenance schedules up front. With a properly installed system you’ll have treated water throughout your home—no need for multiple point-of-use units.
