Including filter system and high-performance Chlordecone filter.
Chlordecone is a long-lasting pesticide that can remain in the environment long after use. If it reaches source water, it may appear at levels too low to detect without lab testing, and because it usually has no noticeable taste or smell, most Maitland homeowners wouldn’t see obvious signs. Many families in Orange County choose to address concerns where water enters the house so every tap is covered consistently.
Even crystal-clear water can carry trace chemicals like chlordecone, which is why homeowners who want extra protection often treat the whole house rather than a single faucet. In Maitland — where much of the Orlando-area supply comes from the Floridan aquifer and water is typically hard — a whole-house system stops unwanted compounds before they reach showers, sinks, appliances or laundry, so your daily routines don’t have to change to get cleaner water.
For reducing chlordecone, an activated carbon whole-house filter is generally the best single-filter option. Carbon media adsorbs many organic and pesticide-type compounds by trapping them on its surface and within its pores, making it effective for small concentrations that sediment filters won’t catch. Installed at the main water line into your Maitland home, it treats water before it reaches any fixture.
A correctly sized whole-house carbon system emphasizes sufficient media volume and contact time so adsorption can occur reliably. As water flows through the carbon bed, chlordecone is captured while the rest of your household supply continues uninterrupted — important in hard-water areas like Maitland, where mineral scale can already affect plumbing. Like any single-media approach, it performs best when matched to your home’s flow rate and serviced on schedule; Mr. Pure Water can help size and fit a system based on your goals and any available test results.
