Including filter system and high-performance Naphthalene filter.
Naphthalene is an organic chemical that can appear in water when fuel-related products or industrial materials are nearby. In Betts you might detect it as a strong mothball-like odor or an unusual taste, particularly when using warm water, since heat can release more of the smell. Even if you don’t notice any odor, many homeowners prefer to have the water tested and addressed for peace of mind before using it for drinking, cooking, or bathing.
Because naphthalene is linked to petroleum and combustion byproducts, it often appears alongside other volatile organic compounds in some water sources. It can enter water from spills, improper storage of chemicals near a property, or by moving through soil into groundwater in certain locations. Betts residents who want consistent protection throughout their homes choose a whole-house solution so every faucet, shower, and appliance receives treated water rather than relying on a single-point device.
To reduce naphthalene in Betts homes, the most effective single-filter whole-house option is a quality activated carbon filter — often catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed sized for household flow rates. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic compounds, including those that cause solvent- or mothball-like odors. Proper contact time and sufficient carbon volume are important, since undersized tanks or too-fast flow can limit effectiveness; installed at the main line, this filter treats water before it reaches every tap.
A whole-house activated carbon system for Betts should be paired with prefiltration to prevent sediment from fouling the carbon bed and to preserve steady flow. Carbon media and cartridges need routine replacement because the media becomes exhausted as it captures contaminants. If testing reveals other concerns like sediment, metals, or microbes, those are usually addressed with additional stages, while carbon remains the primary means to reduce naphthalene — Mr. Pure Water can size and recommend the right carbon system for your household’s needs.
