Epichlorohydrin in Piedmont Florida Water

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

Epichlorohydrin is an industrial chemical that can sometimes be present at low levels in drinking water, linked to materials and processes used in treatment and distribution. You likely won’t detect it by smell or taste—tap water often looks and smells normal even when trace contaminants are present. Many Piedmont homeowners choose to limit unnecessary chemical exposure where practical, particularly for water used every day; a whole-house system treats every faucet so treated water reaches showers, laundry and kitchen taps alike.

Because epichlorohydrin is considered a health-related contaminant rather than an aesthetic issue, it makes sense to consider all the ways your family contacts water. Cooking, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and showering all increase exposure over time. In Piedmont, where municipal and private well sources—and therefore hardness and mineral content—can vary by neighborhood, a targeted whole-house treatment can be integrated without changing how your home operates, giving you consistent water quality sized for your household needs.
