Including filter system and high-performance Chlordecone filter.
Chlordecone is a persistent pesticide that can remain in the environment long after it was used. If it gets into source water, concentrations are often very low and not detectable without testing. Because chlordecone doesn’t produce an obvious taste or smell, homeowners in Franjo may not have clear warning signs in their taps. Many local families choose to treat water where it enters the house so every faucet and appliance gets consistent protection.
Even if Franjo’s water looks and smells normal, trace contaminants such as chlordecone can still be present and concern homeowners who want extra assurance. Treating only one tap leaves other uses — showers, laundry, and appliances — exposed, so many Franjo residents prefer whole-house filtration to keep the entire supply cleaner without changing daily routines.
For reducing chlordecone, an activated carbon whole-house filter is generally the most effective single-filter option. Carbon media adsorbs a wide range of organic chemicals and pesticide-type compounds by trapping them on its surface and within its pores. Installed on the main water line, a properly selected carbon system addresses contaminants present in small amounts that sediment filters won’t catch before water reaches any fixture in your Franjo home.
A correctly sized whole-house carbon filter gives adequate contact time and media volume so adsorption can work as intended. As water flows through the carbon bed, chlordecone is captured while household water use continues normally. This single-media approach performs best when matched to your home’s flow rate and serviced on schedule so the carbon remains effective.
