Including filter system and high-performance Epichlorohydrin filter.
Epichlorohydrin is an industrial chemical that can sometimes be present at low levels in drinking water, linked to certain treatment materials or system processes. Because it usually has no taste, smell, or color, Auburn homeowners wouldn’t detect it by sensory cues alone. Many residents prefer to limit routine chemical exposure where practical, especially for water used every day; treating water at the whole-house level ensures every tap is addressed, not just the kitchen sink.
When epichlorohydrin is a concern, consider how much you and your family come into contact with water around the house — cooking, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and showering all add up. In Auburn homes you can add targeted treatment without changing household routines: the aim is simply to provide cleaner water throughout the entire house with a system sized to your household’s needs and plumbing layout.
For one-stage reduction of epichlorohydrin, a high-quality activated carbon filter is generally the most effective practical choice for whole-house use. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic chemicals as water moves through the media, lowering concentrations before water reaches your faucets. In a whole-house configuration, a properly sized catalytic or premium activated carbon tank provides the contact time and flow Auburn families need for daily use, treating showers, laundry, and every sink rather than a single point of use.
Good performance depends on having enough carbon media and the correct flow rate so water doesn’t pass through too quickly. That’s why whole-house carbon systems are typically larger backwashing tanks or high-capacity cartridges instead of small under-sink filters. With proper design for your Auburn home’s plumbing and water use, you can reduce epichlorohydrin while improving overall water quality — and Mr. Pure Water can help pick and size the right whole-house activated carbon filter.
