Including filter system and high-performance Glyphosate filter.
Glyphosate is a commonly used herbicide that can sometimes travel into waterways that feed drinking supplies. Bascom homeowners who read about it in the news may worry about what’s coming from their faucets — it has no taste or smell and only shows up through proper testing. If you want more control over the water entering your Bascom home, treating at the main water entry point is the most reliable way to manage unseen contaminants.
Even treated municipal water and private wells can be challenged by modern agricultural chemicals, and glyphosate’s behavior in soil and runoff means it can reach household plumbing depending on local conditions. For Bascom residents who want consistent protection for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry, a whole-house solution treats every tap. The correct system is sized for your Bascom home and designed around how these compounds interact with water.
For whole-house reduction of glyphosate, the single-filter choice most often recommended is a catalytic carbon system — it provides broad control of organic contaminants through adsorption. Because glyphosate is water-soluble and more demanding than simple taste or odor issues, choosing the right carbon media, ensuring sufficient contact time, and maintaining an appropriate flow rate are important. A professionally sized catalytic carbon tank gives Bascom homes the media contact needed for meaningful reduction.
Mr. Pure Water can design and install a whole-house catalytic carbon filter matched to your Bascom household’s flow and usage so performance stays steady during showers and peak demand. We typically include pre-filtration to keep sediment from fouling the carbon and causing channeling, while the carbon tank remains the primary treatment. With scheduled maintenance and media replacement, a whole-house carbon system keeps working without changing how you use water; start with a water test and we’ll recommend the right size and setup for your Bascom home.
