Including filter system and high-performance Epichlorohydrin filter.
Epichlorohydrin is an industrial chemical that can occasionally be found at low levels in drinking water, often related to treatment materials or distribution processes. Because it usually has no noticeable taste or smell, Ocean Vue homeowners wouldn’t necessarily detect it by using the tap. Many residents prefer to limit potential chemical exposure wherever practical, especially for water used daily in a humid subtropical climate like ours. A whole-house system treats every faucet and appliance, so protection isn’t limited to a single point of use.
Since epichlorohydrin is considered a health-related contaminant rather than an aesthetic issue, it makes sense to consider how you come into contact with water at home. Cooking, toothbrushing, dishwashing and bathing all add to daily exposure to trace chemicals over time. In Ocean Vue, where salt-air corrosion and occasional storm impacts can affect equipment, you can add targeted whole-home treatment without disrupting how your household runs. The aim is simple: consistent, cleaner water throughout your house sized to your family’s needs.
For a single-stage whole-house solution, a high-quality activated carbon filter is generally the most practical and effective choice for reducing epichlorohydrin. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic chemicals as water flows through the media, lowering concentrations before water reaches faucets and showers. In a whole-house configuration, a properly sized catalytic or premium activated carbon tank provides the necessary contact time and flow for everyday use, treating water used for laundry, bathing and all sinks.
Good performance depends on having enough carbon media and a flow rate that avoids water rushing through too fast, which is why whole-house carbon systems are built as larger tanks or high-capacity cartridges rather than small under-sink filters. With the right design, you can reduce epichlorohydrin while improving overall water quality and consistency across your Ocean Vue home. Mr. Pure Water can recommend the appropriate whole-house activated carbon system based on your plumbing layout, household usage and installation preferences.
