Including filter system and high-performance Naphthalene filter.
Naphthalene is an organic chemical that can enter water when fuel-related products or industrial materials are nearby. In Highland View homes you might notice a mothball-like smell or metallic taste, especially from warm water, because some compounds release more odor at higher temperatures. Even if you don’t detect any scent, many homeowners prefer to address the concern for peace of mind. The only reliable way to know is to have your water tested.
Naphthalene is commonly grouped with other volatile organic compounds tied to petroleum and combustion byproducts, and it can reach household water through spills, improper chemical storage, or migration through soil into groundwater. Families in Highland View usually don’t want these contaminants in water used for drinking, cooking, or bathing. Treating the entire house—rather than a single fixture—helps ensure consistent water quality at every tap throughout your home.
The most effective single-filter option for naphthalene in a whole-house system is a properly sized activated carbon filter, often using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed matched to home flow rates. Activated carbon removes many organic chemicals, including the compounds that cause solvent- or mothball-like odors, by adsorbing them onto the media. Success depends on sufficient contact time and an adequately sized carbon bed—undersized tanks or excessively fast flows reduce performance—so installation on the main water line is important to treat water before it reaches showers, faucets, and appliances in Highland View homes.
Pairing a whole-house activated carbon filter with prefiltration helps protect the carbon bed from sediment and keeps flow steady. Carbon media becomes exhausted over time, so regular cartridge or media replacement is essential to maintain effectiveness. If testing in Highland View shows other concerns like sediment, metals, or microbes, those are usually addressed with additional stages, while carbon remains the primary solution for naphthalene reduction. Mr. Pure Water can help size and schedule maintenance so your system delivers consistent treatment at every tap.
