Including filter system and high-performance Naphthalene filter.
Naphthalene is an organic compound that can appear in water when fuel-related products or industrial materials are nearby. Homeowners often describe it as a strong mothball-like smell or taste, especially noticeable when running warm water since heat can release more odor. Even if you don’t detect a scent, many Casselberry residents prefer to test and address it to be sure their family’s water is safe and pleasant to use.
Because naphthalene is linked to petroleum and combustion byproducts, it’s commonly discussed with other volatile organic compounds in groundwater. It can get into water from spills, improper chemical storage, or by migrating through soil into the aquifer. For families in Seminole County and Casselberry neighborhoods like Deer Run or Lake Kathryn, a whole-house solution ensures every faucet, shower and appliance receives the same improved water quality rather than treating just one tap.
The best single-filter whole-house approach for reducing naphthalene is a high-quality activated carbon system, often using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed sized for typical home flow rates. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic chemicals, including those that cause solvent- or mothball-like odors. Proper contact time and correctly sized carbon media are critical—undersized tanks or excessive flow can limit effectiveness—so an activated carbon unit installed on the main water line treats water before it reaches showers, faucets, and appliances across your Casselberry home.
Pairing a whole-house activated carbon filter with prefiltration helps keep sediment out of the carbon bed and preserves steady flow, which is useful in Central Florida’s hard, sediment-prone groundwater. Carbon media does exhaust over time, so routine cartridge or media replacement is important. If testing in your Casselberry property uncovers sediment, metals, or microbial concerns, additional stages can be added, but activated carbon remains the primary solution for naphthalene reduction—Mr. Pure Water can size the system to your household’s needs.
