Including filter system and high-performance Chloroform filter.
Chloroform can form when disinfectants such as chlorine react with natural organic material during water treatment. Often called trichloromethane, it’s part of a group commonly referred to as disinfection byproducts. You might notice subtle changes in taste or an unusual odor — especially from hot water used for showers or washing dishes — though the water can look clear while these compounds are still present. Scanlon homeowners who focus on water quality often look for solutions that address these invisible contaminants throughout the house.
Because chloroform is volatile, it can transfer into the air when you bathe, cook, or run laundry — not only when you drink water. That’s why many people in Scanlon choose to treat water at the point it enters the home rather than relying only on pitchers or under-sink units. A whole-house system reduces what your family encounters every day, helping your water feel and smell cleaner without changing how you use taps, showers, or appliances.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is generally the most effective single-filter option for reducing chloroform in household water. Activated carbon media adsorbs many organic compounds, including trichloromethane, as water passes through the filter. Installed on the main water line, it treats every tap in your Scanlon home — improving shower, bath, and kitchen water simultaneously — and does so without adding chemicals to your supply.
To work well, a whole-house carbon system needs sufficient contact time and the proper media volume for your home’s flow rate, plus routine cartridge or media replacement so the bed doesn’t become exhausted. Mr. Pure Water can size an activated carbon unit for your Scanlon plumbing and household use, install it, and keep it running quietly in the background so you get more consistent water quality throughout the home instead of treatment only at a single faucet.
