Including filter system and high-performance Naphthalene filter.
Naphthalene is an organic chemical sometimes linked to fuel-related products and industrial materials, and when it’s present in water it can produce a strong mothball-like smell or taste. In Berkshire Lakes you may notice odors more when running warm water, since higher temperatures can release more of those volatile compounds. Even if you don’t detect an odor at home, many homeowners prefer to test and address any potential naphthalene for peace of mind — testing is the only way to know what’s in your supply for sure.
Naphthalene often appears alongside other volatile organic compounds because it’s associated with petroleum and combustion byproducts, and it can enter water from spills, improper chemical storage, or migration through soil into groundwater. Berkshire Lakes residents, like others in Collier County, typically rely on water systems where hard water is common, so thinking about whole-house protection can be helpful. Treating the whole home ensures cleaner water at every faucet and shower, rather than addressing only one point of use.
The most effective single-filter option for whole-house naphthalene reduction is a high-quality activated carbon filter — often catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed sized for residential flow rates. Activated carbon removes many organic chemicals and the compounds that cause solvent- or mothball-like odors by adsorption; success depends on adequate contact time and the correct volume of carbon, since undersized tanks or excessively fast flow cut performance. Installed at the main water line, this filter treats water before it reaches showers, faucets, and appliances throughout Berkshire Lakes homes.
Pairing a whole-house activated carbon system with prefiltration helps protect the carbon bed from the sediment common in Southwest Florida systems and preserves steady flow. Carbon media does become exhausted and needs regular replacement, so scheduled cartridge or media changes keep the system working well. If testing in your Berkshire Lakes home shows other concerns such as sediment, metals, or microbes, those are usually addressed with additional stages — but activated carbon remains the primary workhorse for reducing naphthalene, and Mr. Pure Water can size the system to match your household demand.
