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. Because it’s volatile, it can travel through water and sometimes be noticed as a solvent-like odor even if the water looks clear. Homeowners in Maitland commonly learn about it from lab testing, a utility report, or well-water screening. If test results are concerning, treating the water where it enters your Maitland home is a practical next step.
Even when a supply meets general standards, many Maitland families choose to reduce specific VOCs for added peace of mind. 1,2-Dichloropropane won’t be captured by basic sediment cartridges, and typical pitcher filters aren’t engineered for this class of chemical. Because it can affect every faucet, reduction matters for cooking, bathing, and laundry as much as drinking. A whole-house system gives consistent protection across your plumbing whether you live near Lake Lily Park, the Maitland Art Center, or in neighborhoods like Dommerich Estates.
To lower 1,2-dichloropropane, a whole-house activated carbon filter is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Catalytic or coconut-shell activated carbon media adsorbs many VOCs as water passes through, reducing them before they reach taps and appliances. For chemical contaminants like this, the type of carbon and contact time matter more than micron ratings; proper sizing for your home’s flow rate helps maintain good performance without causing a noticeable pressure drop in a hard-water system like much of the Orlando-area supply.
Mr. Pure Water will match a whole-house carbon system to your water source—municipal or private well—and to conditions common in Maitland and Orange County. If your water carries sediment, a prefilter can protect the carbon stage from clogging, but the carbon is the primary stage for removing 1,2-dichloropropane. Periodic media replacement restores adsorption capacity over time, and installing treatment at the main line delivers filtered water through every faucet and appliance in your home.
