Including filter system and high-performance Methoxychlor filter.
Methoxychlor is a man-made pesticide that can persist in the environment and occasionally appear in drinking water sources long after application. It can travel with runoff and bind to soils or sediments, so wells and surface supplies sometimes face trace contamination from historic use. Many homeowners in Century choose to treat water at the point of entry so the household is protected regardless of source or seasonal changes.
Pesticide-related contaminants don't always alter taste, odor, or appearance, so methoxychlor can go unnoticed without testing. If your Century water report shows methoxychlor, treating the main water line is the most effective way to cut exposure not just at the kitchen tap but in showers, washers, and every fixture. A whole-house system sized for your home's flow rate and occupancy aims for steady reduction across daily use.
For reducing methoxychlor, an activated carbon filter is usually the best single-filter whole-house choice. Because methoxychlor is an organic compound, carbon media removes it by adsorption as water passes through the tank. In a home system the important factors are sufficient carbon contact time and enough media capacity so performance doesn't drop during normal family water use. Placing a correctly sized carbon tank after the main shutoff treats water to every fixture in the house.
Mr. Pure Water can design a whole-house activated carbon system fitted to Century plumbing and typical household demand so you keep good flow while getting reliable removal. Carbon media becomes saturated over time and needs scheduled replacement, so ongoing maintenance is part of any long-term plan. If your source water carries sediment, adding a simple prefilter ahead of the carbon protects the media from premature clogging; the activated carbon remains the primary stage for methoxychlor reduction and delivers cleaner water throughout the home.
