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 gives off a solvent-like smell even if the water looks clear, so homeowners often only learn about it from lab testing, a utility notice, or a private well screen. If you get results that concern you in Plains, treating the water where it enters your house is a practical next step.
Even when a water system meets general standards, many Plains families prefer to lower specific VOCs for everyday comfort and safety. 1,2-Dichloropropane won’t be removed by basic sediment cartridges, and common pitcher or faucet filters aren’t usually built for this class of chemical. Because it can affect every faucet — from drinking water to baths and laundry — a whole-house solution is the best way to ensure consistent reduction across your home’s plumbing.
The most effective single-filter choice for reducing 1,2-Dichloropropane is a whole-house activated carbon system. Catalytic or coconut-shell activated carbon media are commonly used because they adsorb many VOCs as water flows through the tank, lowering contaminant levels before water reaches taps and appliances. For chemical contaminants like this, the type of carbon and adequate contact time matter more than micron ratings, so sizing the system to Plains homes’ flow needs helps maintain performance without noticeable pressure loss.
Mr. Pure Water can match a whole-house carbon system to your water source in Plains, whether you’re on municipal supply or a private well. If your water also carries sediment, we typically add a prefilter to protect the carbon media from premature clogging; the carbon stage is the primary remover for 1,2-Dichloropropane. Regular media replacement preserves adsorption capacity over time, and installing the system at the main line delivers treated water to every tap in the house.
