Including filter system and high-performance Epichlorohydrin filter.
Epichlorohydrin is an industrial chemical that can be present in drinking water at low levels, sometimes linked to materials and processes used in treatment and distribution. You likely won’t detect it by smell or taste — it doesn’t usually change the color or odor of tap water — which is why many Peck homeowners prefer to take precautions. Treating your water at the whole-house level covers every faucet and fixture, so the water you use for cooking, cleaning, and bathing is addressed, not just what comes from the kitchen sink.
Because epichlorohydrin is considered a health-related contaminant rather than an aesthetic issue, it’s sensible to consider how you interact with water daily. Tasks like preparing food, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and showering all increase contact with trace chemicals over time. In Peck homes, adding targeted whole-house treatment can raise confidence in the water you and your family use without changing your daily routines. The aim is simple: deliver cleaner water throughout the house with a system sized to fit your household’s needs.
For single-stage reduction of epichlorohydrin, a high-quality activated carbon filter is the most practical and effective choice for whole-house installation. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic chemicals as water passes through, helping lower concentrations before water reaches taps and showers. In a whole-house arrangement, a properly sized catalytic or premium activated carbon tank provides the contact time and flow required for everyday use across an entire Peck residence, treating laundry, bathing, and all sinks rather than only a single point of use.
Strong performance depends on using enough carbon media and the correct flow rate so water doesn’t move through the bed too quickly. That’s why whole-house carbon systems for Peck homes are typically configured as larger backwashing tanks or high-capacity cartridges instead of small point-of-use filters. With a well-designed system you can reduce epichlorohydrin while improving overall water quality and consistency throughout the house, and Mr. Pure Water can help select the right whole-house activated carbon solution based on your plumbing and usage.
