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 a drinking water source, it may be present at very low concentrations that are difficult to detect without lab testing. Because chlordecone doesn’t produce a noticeable taste or smell, homeowners in Old Town often have no obvious clues that it could be present. Many local families choose to treat water at the point it enters the house so every tap gets the same protection.
Even when water appears clear at the kitchen sink in an Old Town home, trace contaminants like chlordecone can still be a concern for households seeking extra peace of mind. Treating only one faucet leaves showers, laundry, and other fixtures exposed, so a point-of-entry system treats water before it reaches any outlet. Whole-house filtration gives consistent reduction of unwanted compounds throughout your home without disrupting daily routines.
For reducing chlordecone, an activated carbon whole-house filter is generally the single most effective option. Carbon media adsorbs many organic and pesticide-type chemicals by capturing them on its surface and inside its pores, making it appropriate for contaminants present in small amounts that sediment filters won’t remove. When installed at the main service line, this carbon system treats water for every fixture in your Old Town residence.
A correctly sized whole-house carbon system emphasizes sufficient media volume and contact time to improve adsorption of chlordecone. As your water flows through the carbon bed, the contaminant is captured while household supply continues without interruption. Like any single-media solution, performance depends on matching the system to your home’s flow rate and keeping routine maintenance so the carbon remains effective.
