Including filter system and high-performance Chlordecone filter.
Chlordecone is a long-lasting pesticide that can persist in the environment well after its use has stopped. If it reaches source water, it may occur at very low concentrations that are difficult to detect without testing. Because chlordecone doesn’t produce a noticeable taste or smell, many New Harmony homeowners have no clear warning that it might be present. That’s why some families choose to treat water at the point it enters the house — to provide steady protection for every tap.
Even if your water looks and smells normal, trace contaminants such as chlordecone can be a concern for homeowners in New Harmony who want extra assurance. Treating only one faucet leaves showers, laundry and other everyday uses unfiltered; whole-house systems act on the water supply before it reaches any fixture so cleaner water is available throughout your home without changing daily habits.
For reducing chlordecone, a whole-house activated carbon filter is generally the most effective single-filter option. Carbon media adsorbs many organic and pesticide-type compounds by capturing them on the surface and inside its pore structure, making it appropriate for contaminants present in small amounts that sediment filters won’t remove. When installed at the main supply line in New Harmony homes, it treats water before it reaches faucets, fixtures, and appliances.
A correctly sized whole-house carbon system gives water enough contact time and media volume to improve adsorption of chlordecone. As water moves through the carbon bed, the contaminant is retained while household water use continues as normal. Like any single-media solution, performance depends on matching the system to your home’s flow rate and keeping the carbon replaced on schedule — Mr. Pure Water can help New Harmony homeowners with sizing and recommendations based on your goals and any water test results you have.
