Including filter system and high-performance Aldicarb filter.
Aldicarb is a pesticide that can move from treated land into groundwater or surface water, and when that happens it may end up in household water supplies. You can’t rely on sight or smell to detect it—most homeowners discover its presence through a water test or a utility notice. Because the pesticide has been used and regulated differently over time, people often worry about residues or related breakdown products lingering in water. If you want to know exactly what’s in your Hanson water, start with a targeted water test.
As aldicarb degrades it can form compounds like aldicarb sulfoxide and aldicarb sulfone, and laboratory reports may list those names separately even though they stem from the same source. If any of those names appear on your test results in Hanson, treat them together as part of the same contamination concern. Using a whole-house solution makes sense when you want to reduce exposure from showers, laundry and every tap in the home—not just the kitchen sink.
The most effective single whole-house option for reducing aldicarb in household water is a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter. Carbon removes many organic pesticides and their byproducts by adsorption, which sediment filters won’t accomplish. For homeowners in Hanson it’s important the system is sized with enough carbon and contact time to handle peak household flow so treatment is reliable for showers, washing machines and drinking water taps.
A properly designed whole-home GAC system can also lower levels of aldicarb sulfoxide and aldicarb sulfone, since those compounds behave similarly in water. Because effectiveness depends on your water chemistry, contaminant concentrations and how your household uses water, pair the carbon system with a focused water test to determine the right media volume and replacement schedule. Routine maintenance is essential because carbon will eventually exhaust and stop capturing contaminants. Mr. Pure Water can help Hanson homeowners size and install a whole-house carbon filter so treated water reaches every tap.
