Including filter system and high-performance Chlordecone filter.
Chlordecone is a long-lasting pesticide that can remain in the environment long after it was applied. If it reaches source water, concentrations are often very low and invisible without testing, and it won’t give your water a noticeable taste or smell. That makes it easy for Hanson homeowners to be unaware of its presence, which is why many families choose to treat water where it enters the house to ensure every tap is covered.
Even if your tap water appears clear, trace contaminants such as chlordecone can still be present and worrying for households wanting extra protection. Because exposure can come from any fixture, relying on a single treated faucet may leave showers, laundry, and other everyday uses untreated. A whole-house filter treats water as it enters your Hanson home so cleaner water reaches every sink, shower and appliance without changing your routine.
For reducing chlordecone, an activated carbon whole-house filter is generally the most effective single-filter option. Carbon media adsorbs many organic and pesticide-type compounds by trapping them on its surface and within pores, making it suitable for contaminants present at low concentrations that sediment filters won’t catch. Installed at the main service line, this system treats water before it flows to any fixture in your Hanson residence.
A correctly sized whole-house carbon system provides sufficient media volume and contact time for better adsorption performance. As water passes through the carbon bed, chlordecone is held while treated water continues to your household plumbing uninterrupted. This approach works best when sized for your home’s flow rate and maintained on a regular schedule so the carbon remains effective; Mr. Pure Water can help Hanson homeowners choose the right fit and determine sizing based on your goals and any available test results.
