Including filter system and high-performance 1,2,3-Trichloropropane filter.
1,2,3-trichloropropane is a man-made industrial chemical that can sometimes be present in drinking water at very low concentrations. It’s linked to certain manufacturing activities and can remain in groundwater once introduced. Because it doesn’t change the taste, smell, or look of water, the only reliable way to know if it’s present is through laboratory testing. Many McLellan homeowners choose a whole-house system so every faucet, shower and appliance is protected rather than relying solely on a kitchen point-of-use filter.
Seeing 1,2,3-trichloropropane on a water report can be worrying when you think about everyday tasks like cooking, bathing, and doing laundry. The encouraging part is that residential treatment options are well established and effective when matched to the source water and concentration involved. A site-specific evaluation — taking into account your home’s water source and typical usage in McLellan — will guide the best technology choice and correct system sizing.
For whole-home removal, a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is generally the single most effective option for 1,2,3-trichloropropane; installed as a whole-house carbon tank, it adsorbs many organic contaminants as water flows through the media. Because this compound can be more difficult to remove, the specific carbon formulation, contact time, and the system’s flow rate are important, so the unit must be sized to your household demands. A properly chosen GAC tank treats water for showers, faucets, appliances and outdoor spigots in one central location.
Mr. Pure Water can design and install a whole-house activated carbon system for McLellan homes to address 1,2,3-trichloropropane while meeting your household’s pressure and flow needs. We commonly add pre-filtration to remove sediment that could shorten the carbon’s life and help keep performance consistent. Like any adsorption media, GAC requires periodic replacement based on water use and contaminant exposure, so we include a maintenance plan to sustain results. With a correctly configured system, you’ll have treated water throughout your home without relying on multiple point-of-use units.
