Including filter system and high-performance Epichlorohydrin filter.
Epichlorohydrin is an industrial chemical that can occasionally appear in drinking water at very low levels, often related to materials and processes used in treatment and distribution systems. It usually doesn’t give water a noticeable taste, smell, or color, so Chatham homeowners won’t detect it by senses alone. Many families prefer to limit potential chemical exposure where practical, especially in a humid subtropical place like ours where water is used constantly; a whole-house system treats every faucet rather than just a single sink.
Because epichlorohydrin is considered a health-related contaminant rather than an aesthetic issue, it makes sense to consider all the ways you encounter tap water in Chatham — cooking, toothbrushing, dishwashing and bathing all increase contact over time. Targeted whole-house treatment can be added without changing your daily routines, delivering greater peace of mind for family water use. The objective is simple: provide cleaner water throughout your home with a system sized for your household’s needs.
For single-stage reduction of epichlorohydrin, a high-quality activated carbon filter is generally the most effective and practical whole-house choice. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic chemicals as water flows through, reducing their concentration before water reaches taps in Chatham homes. In a whole-house configuration, a properly sized catalytic or premium activated carbon tank gives the contact time and flow capacity needed for everyday usage. This approach treats water for showers, laundry and every sink, not 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 built as larger backwashing tanks or high-capacity cartridges rather than small single-faucet filters. With proper design, you can reduce epichlorohydrin while improving overall water quality and consistency throughout your Chatham home. Mr. Pure Water can help you select the right whole-house activated carbon solution based on your plumbing, household water use and installation preferences.
