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. Homeowners sometimes notice a strong mothball-like smell or taste—especially when running warm water—because higher temperatures can release more odor. Even if you don’t detect any scent in Briny Breezes, many residents prefer to test and address it for peace of mind given our coastal, humid subtropical setting and hard water conditions.
Naphthalene is often grouped with other volatile organic compounds tied to petroleum and combustion byproducts. It can get into water from spills, improper chemical storage, or migration through soil into groundwater. Whatever the origin, most families don’t want these contaminants in the water they drink, cook with, or shower in. A whole-house solution ensures consistent treatment throughout Briny Breezes homes, rather than fixing the problem at a single faucet.
The most effective single-filter option for reducing naphthalene in a whole-house setup is an activated carbon filter—often using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed sized for residential flow rates. Activated carbon removes many organic chemicals, including those that cause solvent- or mothball-like odors. Proper contact time and correctly sized carbon media are crucial, since undersized tanks or high flow can lessen performance. When installed at the main water line, this filter treats water before it reaches showers, faucets, and appliances around Briny Breezes.
Pairing a whole-house activated carbon filter with prefiltration helps prevent sediment—common in hard Palm Beach County water and coastal plumbing—from fouling the carbon bed and keeps flow steady. Carbon media must be replaced on schedule because it becomes exhausted as it captures contaminants. If testing in your Briny Breezes home finds sediment, metals, or microbial issues, those can be addressed with additional stages, while activated carbon remains the primary treatment for naphthalene; Mr. Pure Water can size the system to match your household needs.
