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 found in drinking water at very low concentrations and may persist in groundwater. Because it has no reliable taste, smell, or visible sign, the only way to know if it’s present in your Portland water is through proper testing. Many homeowners here in Florida opt for whole-house protection so every shower, faucet and appliance is covered rather than relying solely on a kitchen or point-of-use filter.
Seeing 1,2,3-trichloropropane listed on a water report can create uncertainty about everyday uses like cooking, bathing and laundry. The positive aspect is that residential treatment options are well established and effective when matched to the source and concentration in your supply. Determining the right approach for a Portland home — including whether water comes from a private well or a local utility and what level of treatment is needed — starts with a professional assessment to pick the best technology and system size.
For treating 1,2,3-trichloropropane throughout a house, the most effective single-filter choice is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system designed 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 more difficult to remove than some other compounds, the specific carbon grade, contact time and system flow rate are important — the GAC tank must be properly sized to match a Portland household’s water use. A correctly selected whole-house carbon tank delivers treated water to showers, faucets, appliances and outdoor spigots from one centralized point.
Mr. Pure Water can design and install a whole-house activated carbon system tailored to Portland, Florida homes, accounting for your family’s water use and pressure needs. We often add pre-filtration to remove sediment before the carbon bed so performance stays steady and the media lasts longer. Like all adsorption systems, the carbon will need periodic replacement based on how much water you use and the contaminant load, so we include maintenance planning as part of the solution. When sized and installed correctly, a single whole-house GAC system provides treated water throughout the home without relying on multiple point-of-use units.
