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. In Old Town homes you might first notice a distinct mothball-like odor or unusual taste, especially from warm water where smells can be stronger. Even if you don’t detect anything by smell, testing is the reliable way to know whether naphthalene or related compounds are present and whether treatment is needed.
Because naphthalene is tied to petroleum and combustion byproducts, it’s commonly grouped with volatile organic compounds that can affect some water supplies. It can get into groundwater from spills, improper chemical storage, or migration through soil in certain areas. Most families in Old Town don’t want these contaminants in their drinking, cooking, or bathing water, and a whole-house system makes sure improved water quality reaches every fixture, not just a single faucet.
For treating naphthalene in a whole-house setup, a high-quality activated carbon filter—often using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed sized for household flow—is the most effective single-filter option. Activated carbon reduces many organic chemicals and those solvent- or mothball-like odors by adsorption. The system works best with sufficient contact time and appropriately sized carbon media; undersized tanks or excessive flow rates can limit performance. Installed at the main service line in your Old Town home, this filter treats water before it reaches showers, faucets, and appliances.
Pairing a whole-house activated carbon filter with prefiltration helps protect the carbon bed from sediment and keeps flow steady. Carbon media eventually becomes exhausted, so routine cartridge or media replacement is important to maintain effectiveness. If testing in your Old Town residence shows additional concerns like sediment, metals, or microbiological issues, those are usually addressed with extra stages, while carbon remains the primary solution for naphthalene reduction—Mr. Pure Water can help size the system to your household’s needs.
