Including filter system and high-performance Glyphosate filter.
Glyphosate is a commonly used herbicide that can occasionally end up in waterways feeding local water supplies. Monkey Box homeowners may see reports about it and wonder whether their tap water is affected — glyphosate is typically undetectable by taste or smell, so testing is the only way to know your levels. If you prefer more control over the water entering your home, treating at the main water line gives consistent protection across drinking, cooking, and bathing fixtures.
Even treated municipal supplies and private wells can face challenges removing newer, water-soluble chemicals like glyphosate, especially after heavy rains or storm runoff common in our humid subtropical climate. A whole-house system installed for Monkey Box homes treats water everywhere it’s used — showers, laundry, and faucets — so you’re not relying on point-of-use devices alone. Proper sizing and design account for how contaminants travel through soil and stormwater around our area to deliver reliable performance throughout the house.
For whole-house reduction of glyphosate, a catalytic carbon filter is the most effective single-filter choice for broad organic control. Catalytic carbon removes many dissolved organics by adsorption as water flows through the media; because glyphosate is water-soluble and can be tougher to remove than simple taste-and-odor compounds, choosing the right carbon, ensuring sufficient contact time, and matching flow rate to household demand are important. A properly specified whole-house carbon tank gives the media time it needs to meaningfully reduce glyphosate levels in Monkey Box homes.
Mr. Pure Water can size and install a whole-house catalytic carbon system for Monkey Box properties so performance stays steady during showers and peak use. We often include a sediment pre-filter to protect the carbon from clogging or channeling after heavy rains and storm-related turbidity, while the carbon tank remains the primary treatment. With scheduled maintenance and media replacement, a whole-house carbon filter provides ongoing reduction without changing daily water use; start with a water test and we’ll recommend the right system and configuration for your home.
