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 Pace households you might first notice a strong mothball-like smell or an off taste, often more noticeable with warm water since some compounds release more odor as temperature rises. Even without a noticeable smell, many homeowners prefer to have their water tested for naphthalene so they know what they’re dealing with and can take action if needed.
Because naphthalene is tied to petroleum and combustion byproducts, it’s commonly discussed along with other volatile organic compounds that can affect drinking water. It can come from spills, improper chemical storage near a property, or migration through soil into groundwater in certain settings. For families in Pace who want reliable protection, treating water at the household level ensures cleaner water at every faucet, not just at a single sink.
To reduce naphthalene, the best single-filter option for whole-house use is a high-quality activated carbon filter—often catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed sized for typical home flow. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic compounds, including those that cause solvent- or mothball-like odors; achieving good performance depends on adequate contact time and enough carbon media, since undersized tanks and high flow rates can lessen effectiveness. Installed on the main water line in your Pace home, this filter treats water before it reaches showers, faucets, and appliances.
Pairing a whole-house activated carbon system with prefiltration helps prevent sediment from clogging the carbon bed and maintains consistent flow. Carbon media will gradually become exhausted and needs scheduled replacement, so routine maintenance keeps the system working well. If testing in your Pace home reveals sediment, metals, or microbial concerns, those are usually addressed with additional stages, while carbon remains the primary solution for naphthalene reduction—Mr. Pure Water can size and recommend the right carbon system for your household’s needs.
