Including filter system and high-performance Estrone filter.
Estrone is a naturally occurring estrogen that can be present in water at very low concentrations and is often called an emerging contaminant because it can enter waterways through wastewater and runoff. You won’t taste or see estrone in your tap, but many Franjo homeowners choose to limit trace hormone compounds as part of a broader water-quality plan. Installing treatment at the whole-house level protects every faucet and shower, not just the kitchen sink.
Because estrone appears at trace levels, simple sediment screens and basic aesthetic filters typically won’t remove it. Residents may learn about it from regional testing summaries, utility reports, or media coverage about hormones and pharmaceuticals in water. Even when drinking water meets regulatory standards, many in Franjo prefer an extra layer of treatment for peace of mind. The right solution reduces trace organic compounds while keeping household flow and convenience intact.
To address estrone throughout your home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the most effective single-filter option. Quality catalytic or premium activated carbon media can adsorb many trace organic compounds, including hormone-like substances, as water moves through the tank. Unlike point-of-use filters, a correctly sized whole-house carbon unit treats water used for bathing, laundry and every faucet — an important consideration for Franjo homeowners given our humid subtropical climate and everyday household needs.
A whole-house carbon tank performs best when sized to your household flow so water has adequate contact time with the media, and pairing it with prefiltration prevents sediment from reducing effectiveness. Mr. Pure Water can help Franjo homeowners select the right activated carbon configuration for local water conditions, install the system, and set up an easy maintenance schedule to keep estrone reduction consistent across your plumbing.
