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 detected in drinking water at trace levels and may linger in groundwater. Because it has no telltale taste, smell, or color, the only reliable way to know whether it’s present in your supply is through proper water testing. Many New Home homeowners prefer a whole-house solution so every faucet, shower and appliance is protected rather than relying solely on a single point-of-use device.
Seeing 1,2,3-trichloropropane listed on a water report can be worrying when you think about cooking, bathing, or washing clothes. The encouraging part is that residential treatment approaches are established and effective when matched to your source water and concentration levels. In New Home, a local professional assessment will determine the best technology and correct system size for your household’s supply and usage patterns.
The most effective single-filter choice for addressing 1,2,3-trichloropropane in a residence is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter engineered for chemical adsorption. As water flows through the porous carbon, many organic contaminants are captured on the media surface. Because 1,2,3-trichloropropane can be more difficult to remove, the specific carbon type, contact time and allowable flow rate are important — the GAC tank must be properly sized for your New Home property to treat showers, faucets, appliances and outdoor spigots from one central point.
Mr. Pure Water can design and install a whole-house activated carbon system for New Home families, tailored to your household’s demand and pressure needs. We typically include pre-filtration to keep sediment out of the carbon bed and preserve steady performance. Like all adsorption media, carbon requires periodic replacement based on usage and contaminant load, so we build a maintenance schedule into every plan. When sized and maintained correctly, a single GAC system delivers treated water throughout your home without needing multiple point-of-use units.
