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 present nearby. In homes around Conway you might recognize it by a strong mothball-like smell or an odd taste, particularly when running warm water, since warmer temperatures can make those odors more noticeable. Even without a noticeable smell, many families prefer to test and address possible contamination for peace of mind. The only way to know what’s in your water is to have it tested professionally.
Because naphthalene is linked to petroleum and combustion byproducts, it’s often grouped with other volatile organic compounds that can show up in water sources. It can enter household water through spills, improper chemical storage, or by moving through soil into groundwater in some settings. Most homeowners in Conway — whether near Lake Conway, Wadeview Park, or the neighborhoods off Delaney Park — understandably don’t want these compounds in their drinking, cooking, or bathing water. Treating the whole house, not just a single faucet, helps keep water quality consistent at showers, appliances, and every sink.
The most effective single-filter option for whole-house control of naphthalene is a high-quality activated carbon filter, typically using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed sized for residential flow rates. Activated carbon removes many organic chemicals by adsorption, including the solvent- or mothball-like compounds responsible for naphthalene’s smell. Proper contact time and an appropriately sized carbon vessel are essential, since too-fast flow or an undersized tank will reduce effectiveness. When installed on the main water line, this filter treats water before it reaches showers, faucets, and appliances throughout your Conway home.
A whole-house activated carbon system for Conway homes works best when paired with prefiltration to trap sediment and prevent premature clogging of the carbon bed, especially given central Florida’s typically hard water. Routine cartridge or media replacement is important because carbon media becomes exhausted as it captures contaminants. If testing reveals other concerns like sediment, metals, or microbes, those are usually addressed with additional stages, but carbon remains the primary workhorse for reducing naphthalene.
