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 when industrial chemicals are present in the environment. As a VOC it can move through water and in some cases produce a solvent-like smell even when the water appears clear; homeowners most often learn about it through lab testing, a utility notice, or a private well screening. If testing in Lewis shows levels you’re concerned about, treating the water at the point it enters your house is a practical step to protect every tap.
Even when regional water meets basic standards, many families in Lewis want extra reassurance by reducing specific VOCs in everyday use. 1,2-Dichloropropane won’t be removed by simple sediment cartridges or most pitcher-style filters, and because it can affect cooking, bathing and laundry as well as drinking water, addressing it only at a single faucet may not be enough. A whole-house solution delivers more consistent reduction throughout your home’s plumbing.
The most effective single-filter option for 1,2-dichloropropane is a whole-house activated carbon system. 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 used for particulate removal. Sizing the system to your household flow rate helps maintain performance without causing a large pressure drop inside the home.
Mr. Pure Water can match a whole-house carbon system to your Lewis water source, whether you’re served by municipal supply or a private well. If your water carries sediment, we recommend a prefilter to protect the carbon from premature clogging, while the carbon stage provides the primary reduction of 1,2-dichloropropane. Regular media replacement preserves adsorption capacity so you continue to get filtered water at every tap rather than only at one sink.
