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 detect a strong mothball-like odor or taste, especially from warm water, because higher temperatures can release more smell. Even without a noticeable odor, many Broward Highlands residents prefer to be sure their water is free of unwanted organics—testing is the reliable way to know what’s in your supply.
Because naphthalene is tied to petroleum and combustion byproducts, it’s often grouped with other volatile organic compounds found in some water sources. It can enter groundwater through spills, improper chemical storage, or migration through soil. In Broward Highlands and other parts of Broward County, a whole-house approach makes sense so treated water reaches every faucet, shower and appliance instead of only a single point of use.
The most effective single-filter whole-house option for naphthalene is a high-quality activated carbon system—often using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed sized for home flow rates. Activated carbon removes many organic chemicals, including those that cause solvent- or mothball-like odors; proper contact time and sufficient carbon media are crucial because fast flow or undersized tanks reduce effectiveness. Installed at the main water line, this filter treats water before it reaches showers, faucets and appliances in Broward Highlands homes.
Pairing a whole-house activated carbon filter with prefiltration helps protect the carbon bed from Broward Highlands’ typically hard water and any sediment that could clog the system. Carbon media will become exhausted over time, so routine replacement is important to keep performance steady. If testing reveals other issues—sediment, metals, or microbes—those are addressed with additional stages, while activated carbon remains the primary solution for reducing naphthalene; Mr. Pure Water can size the system for your household’s demand.
