Including filter system and high-performance Epichlorohydrin filter.
Epichlorohydrin is an industrial chemical that can sometimes appear in drinking water at very low levels, often connected to treatment or distribution materials and processes. In many homes you won’t detect it by taste or smell, since it usually doesn’t change the water’s odor or color. Still, Felkel homeowners who prefer to limit everyday chemical exposure often choose a whole-house solution so every faucet and shower delivers the treated water rather than treating only a single tap.
Because epichlorohydrin is considered a health-related contaminant rather than an aesthetic issue, it’s worth thinking about all the ways your family contacts tap water—cooking, brushing teeth, washing dishes and bathing. Adding targeted treatment to your Felkel home can increase confidence in the water you use every day without changing how the house functions. The aim is simple: a properly sized system that provides cleaner water throughout your home for the way you live.
For single-stage reduction of epichlorohydrin, a high-quality activated carbon filter is typically the most effective and practical whole-house option. Carbon removes many organic chemicals by adsorption as water flows through the media, lowering concentrations before water reaches taps and showers. In a whole-house configuration, a catalytic or premium activated carbon tank sized for your household delivers the contact time and flow needed for daily use across every fixture.
Good performance depends on having enough carbon media and controlling flow so water doesn’t move through too quickly—this is why whole-house carbon systems are built as larger backwashing tanks or high-capacity cartridges instead of small point-of-use filters. With the right design, your Felkel home can reduce epichlorohydrin while improving overall water quality and consistency. Mr. Pure Water can assess your plumbing and usage to recommend the appropriate whole-house activated carbon solution.
