Including filter system and high-performance Naphthalene filter.
Naphthalene is an organic chemical that can enter drinking water when fuel-related products or industrial materials are nearby. You might notice a strong mothball-like smell or an off taste, especially from warm water, since higher temperatures can bring out more odor. Even if you don’t detect any scent in Lois, many homeowners prefer to be sure — the only way to know is to test your water so you can decide on the right next steps for your household.
Because naphthalene is linked with petroleum and combustion byproducts, it’s often grouped with other volatile organic compounds that can affect some water sources. It can get into groundwater from spills, improper chemical storage, or by moving through soil in certain conditions. No household wants these compounds in water used for drinking, cooking, or bathing, which is why Lois families often choose a whole-house solution: treating the water at the main line ensures every faucet and shower receives the same improved quality.
For reducing naphthalene in a whole-house system, the most effective single-filter choice is a high-quality activated carbon filter — commonly catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed sized for residential flow rates. Activated carbon removes many organic chemicals, including those that cause solvent- or mothball-like odors, by adsorbing them onto the media. Proper contact time and correctly sized carbon are crucial, because undersized tanks or excessive flow can cut performance; installed at the main line in Lois homes, this filter treats water before it reaches showers, faucets, and appliances.
A whole-house activated carbon filter for Lois should be combined with prefiltration to keep sediment from fouling the carbon bed and to preserve steady flow. Carbon media does become exhausted, so routine cartridge or media replacement is important to maintain effectiveness. If testing reveals other issues — for example sediment, metals, or microbes — those are typically resolved with additional treatment stages, while carbon remains the primary method for naphthalene reduction; Mr. Pure Water can help size and configure the system for your household’s needs.
