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 sometimes turn up in drinking water 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 is through proper testing. Many Orangetree homeowners choose a whole-house system so every faucet, shower and appliance is protected rather than relying only on a single point-of-use device.
Seeing 1,2,3-trichloropropane on a water report can be worrying when you think about cooking, bathing, or laundering. The reassuring news is that residential treatment approaches are well established, and professional systems exist to address it. The best option for an Orangetree property depends on the source of your water and the level to be treated; a local assessment will identify the right technology and system size for your household and regional conditions like our humid subtropical climate and occasional hard-groundwater scaling concerns.
For a single-filter whole-house solution, granular activated carbon (GAC) designed for chemical adsorption is typically the most effective choice for removing 1,2,3-trichloropropane. GAC removes many organic contaminants as water flows through its porous media, and because 1,2,3-trichloropropane can be persistent, the specific carbon type, contact time and flow rate are important — so the system must be sized to your home’s demand. A properly configured GAC tank treats water for showers, faucets, appliances and outdoor spigots all from one central point.
Mr. Pure Water can design a whole-house activated carbon system tuned to address 1,2,3-trichloropropane while matching Orangetree household flow and pressure needs. We commonly add pre-filtration to protect the carbon bed from sediment and to help preserve performance, especially useful in Southwest Florida homes that sometimes contend with mineral scaling. Like any adsorption system, the carbon media requires periodic replacement based on use and contaminant load, so we include maintenance planning to ensure consistent treated water throughout your home without relying on multiple point-of-use units.
