Including filter system and high-performance Epichlorohydrin filter.
Epichlorohydrin is an industrial chemical that can sometimes be present at low levels in drinking water, often linked to materials and processes used in treatment and distribution. It usually doesn’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of tap water, so Barth homeowners wouldn’t detect it by sensory checks alone. Many families prefer to limit unnecessary chemical exposure where practical, especially for water used every day; installing a whole-house system treats water at every faucet across your Barth home rather than only at a single point.
Because epichlorohydrin is considered a health-related contaminant instead of an aesthetic issue, it makes sense to think about all the ways you and your family contact water—cooking, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and bathing can increase cumulative exposure. In Barth, you can add targeted treatment that fits your routine without changing how your home operates. The objective is simple: deliver cleaner water throughout the house with a system sized to your household’s needs and daily use patterns.
For single-stage reduction of epichlorohydrin, a high-quality activated carbon filter is generally the most effective and practical whole-house option. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic chemicals as water moves through the media, lowering their concentration before water reaches your taps. In a whole-house configuration, a properly sized catalytic or premium activated carbon tank provides the contact time and flow capacity needed for everyday Barth household use—treating shower water, laundry, and all sinks rather than just one 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 faucet filters. With the right design for your Barth plumbing and usage, you can reduce epichlorohydrin while improving overall water quality; Mr. Pure Water can help select the appropriate whole-house activated carbon filter based on your home’s layout and needs.
