Including filter system and high-performance Epichlorohydrin filter.
Epichlorohydrin is an industrial chemical that can sometimes be found at low levels in drinking water, often linked to treatment materials and distribution processes. It usually doesn’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of tap water, so Stern homeowners may not notice it by observation alone. Because many families prefer to limit everyday chemical exposure where practical, a whole-house approach treats water at every faucet and fixture rather than only at a single point like the kitchen sink.
When epichlorohydrin is considered for health reasons rather than just aesthetics, it’s helpful to look at all the ways you use water inside your Stern home. Everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, doing dishes, and showering—add up to repeated contact with whatever’s in the water. If you want greater peace of mind, you can add targeted whole-house treatment without changing how your household operates, providing cleaner water throughout the house sized to your family’s needs.
For single-stage reduction of epichlorohydrin, a high-quality activated carbon filter is generally the most effective and practical whole-house option. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic contaminants as water moves through the media, lowering their concentration before water reaches taps and showerheads in Stern homes. In a whole-house arrangement, a properly sized premium or catalytic activated carbon tank delivers the contact time and flow needed for everyday use across every sink, laundry and shower.
Good performance depends on using enough carbon media and maintaining the right flow so water doesn’t pass through too quickly. That’s why whole-house carbon systems for Stern residences are typically built as larger backwashing tanks or high-capacity cartridges rather than small point-of-use filters. With correct sizing and design, you can reduce epichlorohydrin while improving overall water quality, and Mr. Pure Water can help select the appropriate whole-house activated carbon solution based on your plumbing, usage and installation goals.
