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 trace levels. It’s linked to certain manufacturing uses and can remain in groundwater where it’s entered the environment. Because it has no reliable taste, smell or color, the only way to know if it’s in your supply is through proper testing. Many Overstreet homeowners choose whole-house protection so every faucet and fixture—from showers to outside spigots—is covered, not just the kitchen tap.
Seeing 1,2,3-trichloropropane on a water report can be worrying when you think about cooking, bathing and laundry in your Overstreet home. The encouraging news is that residential treatments for this contaminant are well understood and effective options exist. The best approach depends on your water source and the level detected, so a local professional assessment will ensure the correct technology and system size are chosen for your household needs.
For homes, the single most effective filter type for 1,2,3-trichloropropane is granular activated carbon (GAC) built into a whole-house carbon tank. Activated carbon removes many organic chemicals by adsorbing them across its large porous surface as water flows through. Because 1,2,3-trichloropropane can be difficult to treat, the specific carbon used, contact time and flow rate all matter—so the system must be properly sized for your Overstreet household. A correctly configured GAC tank provides treated water to showers, faucets, appliances and outdoor lines from one central point.
Mr. Pure Water can design and install a whole-house activated carbon system for Overstreet residences to target 1,2,3-trichloropropane while meeting your family’s flow and pressure needs. We often include pre-filtration to remove sediment that could shorten carbon life and to keep performance steady over time. As with any adsorption media, the carbon must be replaced on a schedule based on use and contaminant load, so we plan maintenance up front. With a properly installed GAC system from Mr. Pure Water, your whole home gets treated water without relying on multiple point-of-use units.
