Including filter system and high-performance Naphthalene filter.
Naphthalene is an organic chemical that can enter water when fuel-related products or industrial materials are nearby. In Orsino, where many homes use private wells near the St. Johns River basin, residents may notice a mothball-like odor or taste, especially from warm water as smells intensify with temperature. Even if you don’t detect an odor, testing your well is the only way to know for sure and can give you peace of mind about what’s in your household water.
Because naphthalene is linked to petroleum and combustion byproducts, it’s often grouped with other volatile organic compounds found in some water supplies. It can arrive from spills, improper chemical storage near a property, or by migrating through soil into groundwater in certain conditions. Whatever the origin, most families in Orsino don’t want these contaminants in water used for drinking, cooking, or bathing. Treating your whole house helps ensure consistent water quality across every faucet and appliance rather than fixing a single point.
The most effective single-filter choice for whole-house reduction of naphthalene is a high-quality activated carbon filter—often catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed sized to household flow rates. Activated carbon removes many organic compounds and the solvent- or mothball-like odors they cause by adsorption. Performance depends on sufficient contact time and an appropriately sized carbon bed, since undersized tanks or too-quick flow reduce removal. Installed at the main service line in your Orsino home, this filter treats water before it reaches showers, faucets, and appliances.
Pairing a whole-house activated carbon unit with prefiltration helps keep sediment out of the carbon bed and preserves steady flow—useful for Orsino wells that may benefit from periodic testing for minerals and tannins. Carbon media will become exhausted over time, so scheduled cartridge or media replacement is important to maintain performance. If your water test also shows sediment, metals, or microbial concerns, those are usually addressed with additional treatment stages while carbon remains the primary solution for naphthalene; Mr. Pure Water can help size and configure a system to meet your household’s needs.
