Including filter system and high-performance 1,2,3-Trichloropropane filter.
1,2,3-Trichloropropane is a man-made industrial chemical that can sometimes contaminate drinking water at trace levels and can linger in groundwater. Because it has no taste, smell, or visible signs, the only reliable way to know if it’s present in your home water is through laboratory testing. Many Scanlon homeowners choose a whole-house solution so every faucet, shower and appliance is protected rather than relying solely on a single point-of-use filter.
Seeing 1,2,3-Trichloropropane on a water report can raise questions about everyday activities like cooking, bathing, and laundry — especially for families in Scanlon. The treatment options are well established, and residential filtration methods that work are available. Determining the right approach depends on your water source and the level detected, so a professional evaluation is the best way to choose the correct technology and properly size the system for your home.
For home removal of 1,2,3-Trichloropropane, the most effective single-filter choice is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system designed for chemical adsorption. Activated carbon captures many organic contaminants in its porous media as water flows through; because 1,2,3-Trichloropropane can be difficult to remove, factors like carbon type, contact time and flow rate are important, so the GAC system must be sized correctly for your Scanlon household. A properly specified carbon tank 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 filter for Scanlon homes to address 1,2,3-Trichloropropane while matching your household’s flow and pressure requirements. We typically include pre-filtration to keep sediment out of the carbon bed and help the system run consistently over time. Like all adsorption media, GAC requires periodic replacement based on use and contaminant load, so we build a maintenance plan into the installation. With a correctly configured system, you’ll have treated water throughout your Scanlon home without needing multiple point-of-use units.
