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 produces a solvent-like smell even when the water appears clear. In Lois, homeowners most often learn about it through lab testing, a utility report, or well-water screening—if test results are concerning, the best place to treat is where water comes into your house.
Even if your water meets general regulatory measures, many families in Lois choose to lower specific VOCs for added reassurance. 1,2-dichloropropane won’t be removed by basic sediment cartridges, and common pitcher filters usually aren’t built for this type of chemical. Because it can affect every faucet, the issue extends beyond drinking water to cooking, bathing, and laundry—so a whole-house system gives consistent reduction throughout your plumbing.
The most effective single-filter choice for 1,2-dichloropropane is a whole-house activated carbon system. Catalytic or coconut-shell activated carbon media are formulated to adsorb many VOCs as water passes through, reducing levels before water reaches taps and appliances. Since this is a chemical contaminant rather than particulate matter, the type of carbon media and contact time are the key factors—proper sizing for your home’s flow rate also helps avoid a significant pressure drop.
Mr. Pure Water will match a whole-house carbon system to your water source in Lois, whether you have municipal supply or a private well. If your water contains sediment, we recommend a prefilter to protect the carbon stage from premature clogging, but the carbon media is the primary component that removes 1,2-dichloropropane. Replacing media on schedule preserves adsorption capacity, and installing the system at the main line delivers treated water to every fixture in your home.
