Including filter system and high-performance 1,2,3-Trichloropropane filter.
1,2,3-Trichloropropane is a man-made industrial chemical that can occasionally be found in drinking water at very low concentrations and can remain in groundwater if introduced. You won’t be able to detect it by taste, smell, or sight, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present in your Perkins water is through professional testing. Many local homeowners choose a whole-house system so that every faucet, shower, and appliance in their Florida residence is protected rather than relying on a single point-of-use device.
Seeing 1,2,3-Trichloropropane on a water report can raise questions about everyday tasks like cooking, bathing, and laundry. The good news for Perkins residents is that treatment approaches are well established and residential filters exist that can reduce it. The best option depends on your water source and how much of the contaminant is present, so a local professional assessment will help determine the correct technology and system size for your home.
For homes in Perkins, the most effective single-filter choice for 1,2,3-Trichloropropane is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system built for chemical adsorption. GAC removes many organic contaminants by trapping them in its porous media as water flows through. Because 1,2,3-Trichloropropane can be difficult to treat, factors such as the type of carbon, contact time, and flow rate are important, so the tank must be properly sized to handle your household demand and typical Florida water conditions. A correctly configured GAC whole-house unit provides treated water to showers, faucets, appliances, and outdoor spigots from a single point.
Mr. Pure Water can design and install a whole-house activated carbon system for Perkins properties that balances contaminant reduction with your family’s water use and pressure needs. We commonly pair a pre-filter to remove sediment so the carbon bed keeps working efficiently and to extend time between media changes. Like all adsorption media, carbon requires periodic replacement based on usage and contaminant levels, so we include maintenance planning as part of the solution. With the right GAC system in place, you’ll have treated water throughout your Florida home without needing multiple point-of-use units.
