Including filter system and high-performance Naphthalene filter.
Naphthalene is an organic chemical commonly linked to fuel-related products and some industrial materials that can end up in water. Homeowners often notice a strong mothball-like odor or taste, especially when using warm water, because higher temperatures can release more of those smells. Even if you don’t detect an odor, many Orlando residents choose to test their water for peace of mind—testing is the only way to know what’s actually present.
Naphthalene is often grouped with other volatile organic compounds tied to petroleum or combustion byproducts and can enter household water through spills, improper chemical storage, or migration through soils into groundwater. In Central Florida’s variable source-water conditions—where seasonal heavy rains and warm temperatures affect plumbing and storage—many families prefer a whole-house solution so treated water reaches every faucet, shower, and appliance rather than only a single point of use.
For whole-house treatment of naphthalene, the best single-filter option is a high-quality activated carbon system using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed sized for residential flow rates. Activated carbon removes many organic chemicals and the solvent- or mothball-like odors they cause by adsorbing them onto the media; having adequate contact time and enough carbon media is essential because undersized tanks and fast flow reduce effectiveness. When installed at the main water line in an Orlando home, this filter treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and appliances.
Pairing a whole-house activated carbon filter with prefiltration helps protect the carbon from sediment that can clog the media and ensures steady flow—an important consideration in Orlando where moderate water hardness and biofilm potential can affect plumbing. Carbon media will become exhausted and needs regular replacement; if testing reveals other issues like sediment, metals, or microbial concerns, complementary stages are often added, while carbon remains the primary method for reducing naphthalene. Mr. Pure Water can help size and configure the system for your home so every tap gets consistent treatment.
