Including filter system and high-performance 1,2,3-Trichloropropane filter.
1,2,3-Trichloropropane is a man-made industrial chemical that can appear in drinking water at very low concentrations and can persist in groundwater. Because it has no reliable taste, smell, or visual cue, the only way to know if it’s in your supply is through proper water testing. Many Rich Bay homeowners prefer a whole-house strategy so showers, washing machines and all faucets are covered rather than relying solely on a single point-of-use device.
Seeing 1,2,3-Trichloropropane on a test report can be unsettling when you think about everyday tasks like cooking, bathing and laundry. Fortunately, effective residential treatment approaches exist and are well established. The best choice for a Rich Bay property depends on the source of the water and the level detected; a professional assessment will match your home’s plumbing, flow requirements and water source to the most appropriate technology and correct system sizing.
The most effective single-filter choice for reducing 1,2,3-Trichloropropane throughout a house is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system sized for your flow rate and usage. Activated carbon removes many organic contaminants by adsorbing them onto its porous surface as water moves through the media. Because 1,2,3-trichloropropane can be more difficult to remove, the specific carbon type, contact time and flow rate are important—so the GAC tank must be properly selected for a Rich Bay home to ensure coverage for showers, faucets, appliances and outdoor spigots.
Mr. Pure Water can design and install a whole-house activated carbon system for Rich Bay residences that meets your household’s pressure and water-use patterns. We often include pre-filtration to keep sand and sediment out of the carbon bed, which helps preserve performance. Carbon media requires periodic replacement based on usage and contaminant levels, so we build a maintenance plan into every installation to keep your system working reliably and deliver treated water across the entire home.
