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, testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s present. In Mims and other parts of Brevard County where many homes rely on wells and face hard, mineral-rich water — sometimes with iron or sulfur odors — homeowners often choose a whole-house solution so faucets, showers, and appliances are all protected rather than depending solely on a single sink filter.
Seeing 1,2,3-trichloropropane show up on a water report can raise questions about everyday uses like cooking, bathing, and washing clothes. Fortunately, residential treatment approaches are well established and can be tailored to your water source and concentration levels. In Mims, where groundwater characteristics and hard water are common, a professional assessment will determine the best technology and proper system size to ensure reliable performance for your household.
For homes aiming to reduce 1,2,3-trichloropropane throughout the plumbing, the single most effective filter type is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) unit configured for chemical adsorption. Activated carbon removes many organic contaminants by adsorbing them into its porous surface as water flows through. Because 1,2,3-trichloropropane can be difficult to treat, the specific carbon grade, contact time and system flow rate must be matched to your Mims home, especially given hard water conditions, so correct sizing is essential for consistent removal at showers, faucets and outdoor spigots.
Mr. Pure Water can design and install a whole-house activated carbon system for Mims homes that balances removal of 1,2,3-trichloropropane with your household’s water use and pressure needs. We commonly include pre-filtration to trap sediment and protect the carbon bed from clogging — a helpful step in areas with well water or higher mineral content. Like all adsorption media, carbon requires periodic replacement based on consumption and contaminant load, so we build a maintenance plan into the system to keep your water treated at every tap without relying on multiple point-of-use devices.
