Epichlorohydrin in Mims Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Epichlorohydrin in the Water Supply of Mims Florida Homes

Epichlorohydrin is an industrial chemical that can sometimes appear in drinking water at low concentrations, often related to materials and processes used in treatment and distribution. It usually doesn’t produce a noticeable taste or smell, so homeowners in Mims — whether on municipal supply or private wells where mineral content and iron/sulfur odors are common — may not detect it by senses alone. Many local families prefer to limit potential chemical exposure in their everyday water, and a whole-house system treats water at every faucet so every cup, shower and laundry load is covered, not just the kitchen sink.

Because epichlorohydrin is considered a health-related contaminant rather than merely an aesthetic issue, it’s sensible to account for all the ways water is used in your Mims home. Everyday activities like cooking, brushing teeth, washing dishes and bathing all increase the time you’re in contact with trace chemicals. Targeted whole-house treatment can be added without changing how your household runs, delivering confidence that water used throughout the house — from a shower after a humid Space Coast day to laundry after outdoor work — is being treated consistently.
