Including filter system and high-performance Naphthalene filter.
Naphthalene is an organic chemical often linked to fuel-related products or industrial materials that can make its way into water. Homeowners in Lake Marian Highlands, where many properties rely on wells, may notice a mothball-like smell or taste—especially when running warm water—because these compounds can become more noticeable as temperature rises. Even if you don’t detect an odor, testing gives certainty about whether naphthalene or similar organics are present and whether action is needed for your household’s peace of mind.
Because naphthalene is tied to petroleum and combustion byproducts, it’s commonly grouped with other volatile organic compounds that can affect groundwater. In Lake Marian Highlands and other parts of Osceola County, spills, improper chemical storage, or migration through soil can introduce these contaminants to private wells. Most families don’t want such compounds in the water used for drinking, cooking, or bathing, and a whole-house solution helps ensure every faucet and shower in your home gets treated rather than leaving the problem at a single point.
For naphthalene reduction, the best single-filter option in a whole-house setup is a quality activated carbon filter — often catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed built to match home flow rates. Activated carbon removes many organic chemicals, including those that cause solvent- or mothball-like odors, by adsorbing them onto the media. In Lake Marian Highlands homes with hard water and higher iron or sulfur staining risks, it’s especially important to size the carbon bed correctly and allow sufficient contact time, since high flow or undersized tanks can lower effectiveness. Installed at the main water line, this filter treats water before it reaches faucets, showers, and appliances.
Pairing a whole-house activated carbon filter with prefiltration helps protect the carbon from sediment and preserves flow, which is useful for Lake Marian Highlands well systems that can carry hardness and particulate. Carbon media becomes exhausted over time, so routine cartridge or media replacement is essential to maintain performance. If testing your well shows additional concerns such as sediment, metals, or bacteria, those issues are usually addressed with complementary stages, but activated carbon remains the primary solution for reducing naphthalene — and Mr. Pure Water can size and install the system to meet your household’s needs.
