Including filter system and high-performance 1,2-Dichloropropane filter.
1,2-Dichloropropane is a man-made volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter water where industrial chemicals have affected the environment. As a VOC it can travel in water and sometimes produces a solvent-like odor even when the water looks clear. Highland homeowners most often learn about it from a lab test, a utility report, or well-water screening; if your results are concerning, treating the water where it enters your Highland home is a sensible next step.
Even if your water meets general regulatory standards, many families in Highland choose to reduce specific VOCs for everyday confidence. 1,2-dichloropropane won’t be removed by basic sediment cartridges or most pitcher filters, and because it can affect every tap it’s relevant for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry. Installing whole-house treatment gives consistent reduction throughout your Highland plumbing rather than protecting only a single faucet.
To reduce 1,2-dichloropropane, the most effective single whole-house option is an activated carbon filter. Catalytic or coconut-shell activated carbon media adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through, so the carbon type and sufficient contact time matter more than micron ratings. Properly sized to your home’s flow rate, a Highland whole-house carbon system can lower this chemical without causing a large pressure drop.
Mr. Pure Water can match a whole-house carbon system to your Highland water source, whether you’re on municipal supply or a private well. If your water contains sediment, a prefilter will protect the carbon stage from clogging, but the carbon is what removes 1,2-dichloropropane. Regular media replacement preserves adsorption capacity over time, and treating at the main line delivers filtered water to every tap in your Highland home.
