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 in the environment. As a VOC it can travel through water and sometimes produces a solvent-like smell even if the water appears clear. Homeowners around Navy Point usually learn about it from lab testing, a utility notice, or private well screening. If test results are concerning, treating the water where it enters your Navy Point home is a sensible next step.
Even if your water meets general standards, many Navy Point families choose to reduce specific VOCs for peace of mind. 1,2-Dichloropropane won’t be removed by basic sediment cartridges, and small pitcher-style filters typically aren’t designed for this class of chemical. Because it can affect every faucet, it’s not only a drinking-water issue but also something to consider for cooking, bathing, and laundry. Installing treatment at the whole-house level delivers a consistent reduction throughout your plumbing.
For most homes in Navy Point a whole-house activated carbon filter is the single most effective option to reduce 1,2-dichloropropane. Carbon media—especially high-quality catalytic or coconut-shell types—adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through, lowering levels before water reaches taps and appliances. Because this is a chemical contaminant rather than particulate dirt, the type of carbon and contact time matter more than micron ratings; sizing the system to your home’s flow rate helps maintain performance without excessive pressure loss.
Mr. Pure Water can match the right whole-house carbon system to your Navy Point water source, whether you’re on a city connection or a private well. If sediment is present, a prefilter will protect the carbon media from premature clogging, but the carbon stage is responsible for removing 1,2-dichloropropane. Replacing media on the manufacturer’s schedule preserves adsorption capacity over time, and treating at the main line ensures filtered water at every tap in your home.
