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. In Lamont households you might notice a strong mothball-like smell or taste, especially from warm water, because some compounds release more odor as temperature increases. Even if you don’t detect any scent, many homeowners choose to test and address it for peace of mind—testing is the only way to know what’s present in your supply.
Naphthalene is often grouped with other volatile organic compounds tied to petroleum and combustion byproducts. It can enter water through spills, improper chemical storage around a property, or by moving through soil into groundwater in some locations. For families in Lamont, having a whole-house solution makes sure treated water reaches every faucet, shower, and appliance rather than treating only a single point.
The most effective single-filter whole-house option for reducing naphthalene is a high-quality activated carbon filter—often using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed sized for typical home flow rates. Activated carbon removes many organic compounds that cause solvent- or mothball-like odors by adsorbing them onto the media. Proper contact time and enough carbon media are essential, because undersized tanks or excessive flow through the system will lower performance; installed on the main line, this filter treats water before it reaches fixtures in your Lamont home.
Pairing a whole-house activated carbon filter with prefiltration helps keep sediment out of the carbon bed and preserves steady flow. Carbon media needs routine replacement as it captures contaminants, and regular maintenance keeps the system working for Lamont households. If testing reveals other issues such as sediment, metals, or microbial concerns, those are typically addressed with additional stages, while activated carbon remains the primary method for naphthalene reduction—Mr. Pure Water can size and recommend the right carbon system for your home.
