Including filter system and high-performance 1,2,3-Trichloropropane filter.
1,2,3-Trichloropropane is a man-made industrial compound that can persist in groundwater and sometimes turns up in drinking water at trace levels. Because it has no distinctive taste, smell, or appearance, the only way to know whether it’s present in your supply is through proper water testing. Many Westlake residents prefer a whole-house solution so every faucet and fixture — from the shower to outdoor spigots — receives the same protection rather than relying only on a single point-of-use device.
Seeing 1,2,3-trichloropropane on a lab report can raise questions about everyday tasks like cooking, bathing, and laundry. Fortunately, homeowners in Palm Beach County have access to well-established treatment options for organics like this. The right answer for a Westlake house depends on your water source, typical usage, and the level reported; a professional assessment will help determine the correct technology and the proper system size for homes in our tropical South Florida climate, where municipal water is typically hard.
The most effective single-filter choice for removing 1,2,3-trichloropropane from household water is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter sized for chemical adsorption. Activated carbon captures many organic contaminants within its porous structure as water flows through, but performance depends on the carbon grade, contact time, and flow rate — so correct sizing for a Westlake home is important. A properly designed GAC tank treats water for showers, faucets, appliances and yard hydrants in one central point, which is handy in neighborhoods where hard water can already contribute to limescale buildup.
Mr. Pure Water can install a whole-house activated carbon system tailored for Westlake households and the Palm Beach County water profile, including pre-filtration to prevent sediment from prematurely fouling the carbon bed. Because carbon is an adsorption media, it requires periodic replacement based on your household’s water use and contaminant load, so we include maintenance planning when we size a system. With a correctly selected and installed GAC tank, you’ll have treated water throughout the home without relying on multiple point-of-use units.
