Including filter system and high-performance Ethylene Dibromide filter.
Ethylene dibromide, sometimes called EDB, is a synthetic chemical that can enter drinking water when past industrial or agricultural uses reach groundwater. It’s usually present at very low levels, so you won’t detect it by smell, taste, or sight — yet many Chain O'Lakes homeowners want to address it when tests or reports flag it. Treating water at the point it enters your house with a whole‑house system ensures every tap, shower and appliance gets treated, not just one faucet.
If you’re worried about ethylene dibromide in your home supply, start by identifying whether your water comes from a private well or a municipal connection and get a reliable lab test to confirm results. EDB isn’t the same issue as the typical chlorine taste, visible sediment, or hard water mineral buildup common in Lake County, so it needs a targeted solution. Well owners around the Harris Chain of Lakes and nearby towns like Leesburg and Mount Dora should test periodically, and remember that picking the right filtration media is more important than simply stacking more cartridges.
For removing ethylene dibromide in a home system, the most effective single media is activated carbon — commonly a catalytic or high‑capacity granular activated carbon (GAC) bed. Carbon adsorbs many organic contaminants as water flows through, which makes it a proven choice for compounds such as EDB. Installed as a whole‑house carbon tank, properly sized media will treat all incoming water used for showers, laundry, cooking and all faucets in Chain O'Lakes homes, with performance tied to carbon quality, contact time and matching the system to your household water use.
A whole‑house activated carbon system meant to reduce EDB should be sized for your peak flow and include enough media volume to provide adequate contact time — not a tiny cartridge that water zips through. A sediment prefilter is recommended to protect the carbon from clogging, especially given the mineral‑rich, hard water many homes in the area experience. Because carbon’s ability to remove EDB is capacity‑based, scheduled media replacement is important to prevent breakthrough; Mr. Pure Water can help select and install a whole‑house carbon filter tailored to Chain O'Lakes plumbing and daily demand.
