Including filter system and high-performance Microcystins filter.
Microcystins are toxins made by certain cyanobacteria, often called blue-green algae, that can get into drinking water during algae blooms. Because these compounds are dissolved, they don’t always cause the familiar taste-and-odor problems and can be present even when water looks clear. Palm Beach Gardens homeowners may notice advisories from local utilities or news about microcystins, and one variant you may see referenced is microcystin-LR.
When microcystins are a concern in Palm Beach Gardens, the aim is to lower exposure throughout the house — not only at the kitchen tap. Cooking, making ice, rinsing produce, brushing teeth and showers are all routes of contact. Because microcystins are dissolved rather than particulate, sediment-only filters won’t reliably address them. A whole-house system installed at the main line treats water before it reaches fixtures and appliances across your Northern Palm Beach County home.
For whole-home reduction of microcystins, a single, high-quality activated carbon filter is generally the best option. Catalytic or high-capacity granular activated carbon media is commonly used because it adsorbs microcystins, including microcystin-LR, as water moves through the cartridge. This is a stronger, higher-contact treatment than a basic taste-and-odor cartridge and is installed at the main line so treated water reaches showers, faucets and appliances throughout Palm Beach Gardens.
Effective control depends on matching the carbon media to your home’s flow rate and properly sizing the system; if water passes too quickly through an undersized unit there won’t be enough contact time for adsorption. A correctly sized whole-house activated carbon system for Palm Beach Gardens can also help with overall clarity and reduce other organic tastes and odors, while regular maintenance keeps the system performing well in hard municipal water conditions.
