Including filter system and high-performance Naphthalene filter.
Naphthalene is an organic chemical sometimes found in water where fuel-related products or industrial materials have impacted the environment. Homeowners may recognize a strong mothball-like odor or taste, especially from warm water, since heat can make those smells more noticeable. Even without any scent, many Avalon residents prefer to test and address it for reassurance. If you suspect naphthalene in your household water, a professional test will confirm whether it’s present and guide next steps.
Because naphthalene is linked to petroleum and combustion byproducts, it’s often grouped with other volatile organic compounds that can occur in some water supplies. It can enter water through spills, improper chemical storage near a property, or by moving through soil into groundwater in certain conditions. Most families in Avalon don’t want these odors or contaminants in the water they drink, cook with, or bathe in. A whole-house system ensures cleaner water at every fixture in your home, not just a single tap.
The most effective single-filter solution for reducing naphthalene in a whole-house setup is a high-quality activated carbon unit—often using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed sized for residential flow. Activated carbon removes many organic chemicals and the solvent- or mothball-like compounds responsible for off-odors. Performance depends on sufficient contact time and the right amount of carbon; undersized tanks or too-fast flow will limit removal. When installed at the main water line in an Avalon home, this filter treats water before it reaches showers, faucets, and appliances.
Pairing a whole-house activated carbon filter with prefiltration helps keep sediment out of the carbon bed and preserves steady flow for Avalon households. Carbon media will eventually become exhausted, so routine cartridge or media replacement is important to maintain effectiveness. If testing reveals additional concerns such as sediment, metals, or microbial issues, those are typically addressed with complementary stages, but carbon remains the primary treatment for naphthalene. Mr. Pure Water can size and recommend the right carbon configuration for your Avalon home to ensure consistent protection at every tap.
