Including filter system and high-performance 1,2-Dichloropropane filter.
1,2-dichloropropane is a synthetic volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter water when industrial chemicals are present in the environment. As a VOC it can travel through water and sometimes causes a solvent-like smell even when the liquid looks clear. Local homeowners in Hanson most often learn about it through lab testing, utility notices, or private well screenings. If test results raise concerns, treating water where it enters your Hanson home is a smart next step.
Even if a water supply meets general regulatory standards, many families around Hanson choose to reduce specific VOCs for everyday confidence. 1,2-dichloropropane won’t be removed by basic sediment screens, and common pitcher filters usually aren’t built for this kind of chemical. Because this contaminant can affect every faucet, it’s relevant for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry — so a whole-house solution gives consistent reduction throughout your Hanson plumbing.
The most effective single-filter option for lowering 1,2-dichloropropane is a whole-house activated carbon system. Well-made catalytic or coconut-shell activated carbon media adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through, reducing their concentration before water reaches taps and appliances. With chemical contaminants like this, the carbon type and contact time matter more than micron ratings, so sizing the unit for your home’s flow rate helps maintain performance without a large pressure drop in Hanson homes.
Mr. Pure Water can match a whole-house carbon system to your Hanson water source, whether you’re on municipal supply or a private well. If your water also contains sediment, adding a prefilter protects the carbon from premature clogging, while the carbon stage remains the primary defense against 1,2-dichloropropane. Routine media replacement preserves adsorption capacity over time, and treating at the main line delivers filtered water to every tap in your Hanson home.
