Including filter system and high-performance Acrylonitrile filter.
Acrylonitrile is an industrial chemical commonly used in the production of certain plastics, synthetic rubber and fibers. It can reach drinking water through industrial releases, accidental spills, or leaching from contaminated materials. In household supplies it’s usually found at very low levels, but many New Harmony homeowners prefer to address it out of caution. Because you can’t detect acrylonitrile by taste or smell, testing your water is the only reliable way to know if it’s present.
Even without a confirmed detection, some families in New Harmony take a preventative stance toward trace chemicals. Acrylonitrile is often classified among volatile organic compounds (VOCs), a class of contaminants that can affect water quality without obvious day-to-day signs. While point-of-use filters can protect a single faucet, they won’t treat showers, laundry or every sink. For consistent protection throughout a New Harmony home, a whole-house system is the more complete option.
When it comes to acrylonitrile, the most effective whole-house solution is a high-quality activated carbon filter designed for VOC reduction. Activated carbon removes many organic chemicals by adsorbing them onto its large internal surface as water flows through the media. Installing this type of system at the main water entry point helps reduce acrylonitrile before water reaches kitchen taps, bathroom fixtures and appliances in New Harmony, creating a single barrier that treats water for the whole house.
Because carbon’s effectiveness depends on contact time and the amount of media, a properly sized tank-style activated carbon filter is generally preferred for whole-house use over small inline cartridges. Sizing the tank to match your home’s flow rate preserves contact time while maintaining good water pressure. Regular media replacement prevents the carbon from becoming exhausted and losing adsorption capability. Mr. Pure Water in New Harmony can help size and install a whole-house activated carbon system whether you’re responding to a test or taking proactive steps to protect your water.
