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 occasionally turn up in drinking water at very low concentrations. Because it has no reliable taste, smell, or color, the only way to know if it’s present in your home is through proper water testing. Many Marathon Shores homeowners choose a whole-house system so showers, outdoor hoses and every faucet — not just the kitchen sink — are protected, especially in a coastal, hard-water environment like the Florida Keys.
Seeing 1,2,3-trichloropropane on a water report can be worrying when you think about cooking, bathing, and laundry at your Marathon Shores address. Fortunately, the treatment approaches are well-established and residential filtration options can address it effectively. The best choice depends on your water source (including whether it comes via the Florida Keys Aqueduct), the contaminant level found, and household flow needs, so a professional assessment is helpful to select the right technology and tank size for your home.
For homes in Marathon Shores, the most effective single-filter choice for reducing 1,2,3-trichloropropane is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system made for chemical adsorption. Activated carbon removes many organic compounds by adsorbing them into its porous media as water flows through. Because 1,2,3-trichloropropane can be stubborn, the specific carbon type, contact time and flow rate are important considerations, and your GAC tank should be sized to match local hard-water conditions and household demand.
Mr. Pure Water can design and install a whole-house activated carbon system for Marathon Shores properties to target 1,2,3-trichloropropane while maintaining water pressure and accommodating hard, coastal water. We commonly include pre-filtration to remove sediment and protect the carbon bed from sea-air corrosion effects and storm-related debris. Carbon media is replaced on a schedule based on usage and contaminant load, so we plan maintenance so your family continues to get treated water at every tap without relying on multiple point-of-use units.
