Including filter system and high-performance Bromochloroacetonitrile filter.
Bromochloroacetonitrile is a disinfection byproduct that can form when utilities treat water to control microbes. It develops from reactions between disinfectants and naturally occurring organic material in source water, particularly when bromide is present, so it can appear even when the water looks clear. Because homeowners usually can’t detect it by taste or smell, testing and targeted treatment are important for households in New Harmony who want added peace of mind.
Elevated bromochloroacetonitrile levels point to ongoing formation of byproducts tied to standard disinfection chemistry, and those levels can change with source-water conditions and seasons. While a point-of-use filter helps at a single sink, the rest of your New Harmony home — showers, laundry, and all taps — still receive the same treated water. A whole-house solution reduces exposure everywhere water is used, providing more consistent protection across the house.
To address bromochloroacetonitrile throughout the house, a whole-house catalytic carbon filter is generally the best single-filter option. Catalytic carbon is an upgraded activated carbon that more effectively adsorbs and helps break down many disinfection byproducts compared with standard carbon. When installed at the main water line in a New Harmony residence, it treats water before it reaches every faucet, shower, and appliance so your drinking, cooking, and everyday water use benefit.
A correctly sized catalytic carbon whole-house system emphasizes adequate contact time, which matters for removing low-level organic byproducts like bromochloroacetonitrile. It also helps reduce other treatment-related compounds that affect overall water quality. Because plumbing and water conditions vary between homes in New Harmony, matching filter capacity and flow rate to your household prevents channeling and maintains steady performance. Mr. Pure Water can work with you to choose the right configuration for your plumbing and daily water needs.
