Including filter system and high-performance Naphthalene filter.
Naphthalene is an organic chemical sometimes linked to fuel-related products or industrial materials that can get into water. Homeowners occasionally detect a strong mothball-like odor or taste, especially from warm water when smells become more noticeable. Even without a noticeable scent, many Newport residents prefer to have their water tested and addressed for peace of mind, particularly in a humid subtropical area where plumbing can react differently to odors and temperatures.
Because naphthalene is tied to petroleum and combustion byproducts, it’s often grouped with other volatile organic compounds found in some water supplies. It can enter water from spills, improper chemical storage, or migration through soil into groundwater. For Newport homeowners who want reliable protection—whether for drinking, cooking, or bathing—a whole-house solution treats water consistently throughout the home instead of only at a single point.
The most effective single-filter whole-house option for reducing naphthalene is a high-quality activated carbon filter, typically using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed sized for typical home flow rates. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic chemicals, including those that cause solvent- or mothball-like odors; performance depends on sufficient contact time and an adequately sized carbon bed, since faster flows or undersized tanks can lessen effectiveness. Installed on the main water line in a Newport home, it treats water before it reaches showers, faucets, and appliances.
Pairing a whole-house activated carbon system with prefiltration helps prevent mineral scale and sediment—common concerns with harder groundwater—from clogging the carbon bed and keeps flow steady. Carbon media does become exhausted over time, so routine replacement or servicing is important to maintain naphthalene reduction. If testing reveals other challenges like sediment, metals, or microbial issues, those can be addressed with additional stages, while carbon remains the primary component for naphthalene control; Mr. Pure Water can size and recommend the right system for Newport households.
