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 trace levels and may persist in groundwater. Because it has no reliable taste, smell or visual cue, the only way to know if it’s present in your Winter Park home is through proper laboratory testing. Many homeowners around Central Florida prefer whole-house protection so showers, laundry and every faucet — not just the kitchen sink — are treated the same way.
Seeing 1,2,3-trichloropropane on a water report can leave you wondering what to do for everyday tasks like cooking and bathing. The treatment options are well established, and residential filtration methods can address it effectively. The best choice depends on your source water and the level detected; in Winter Park, where moderate water hardness and Central Florida’s limestone geology influence water quality, a professional assessment helps dial in the right technology and system size for your house.
For homes, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is generally the single most effective option for removing 1,2,3-trichloropropane. GAC removes many organic chemicals by adsorption as water flows through its porous media. Because 1,2,3-trichloropropane can be more stubborn than some contaminants, the specific carbon type, contact time and flow rate are important — so the system must be properly sized for your Winter Park household to ensure adequate treatment at showers, faucets, appliances and outdoor spigots.
Mr. Pure Water can design a whole-house activated carbon system for Winter Park homes that matches your household demand and water pressure. We often include pre-filtration to limit sediment and reduce scale-related issues common in humid subtropical Central Florida, helping the carbon bed perform consistently. Carbon media requires periodic replacement based on use and contaminant load, so we plan maintenance schedules up front — delivering treated water across your home without relying on several point-of-use units.
