Including filter system and high-performance Naphthalene filter.
Naphthalene is an organic chemical that can appear in water when fuel-related products or industrial materials affect nearby soil or groundwater. In Placid Lakes households—many of which rely on wells—people sometimes detect a strong mothball-like odor or taste, especially from warm water, because some compounds release more smell at higher temperatures. Even if you don’t notice a scent, testing your supply is the only way to know what’s present and put your mind at ease about your family’s drinking and bathing water.
Naphthalene is commonly grouped with other volatile organic compounds tied to petroleum and combustion byproducts. It can enter groundwater through spills, improper chemical storage, or migration through soil—issues that can matter in South Central Florida’s Highlands County where many homes use groundwater sources. Most homeowners don’t want these compounds in the water they cook with or bathe in, so a whole-house filtration strategy ensures treated water at every faucet throughout your Placid Lakes residence, not just at a single point of use.
The most effective single-filter solution for naphthalene in a whole-house setup is a quality activated carbon filter—often catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed sized for typical home flow rates. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic chemicals, including the solvent- or mothball-like compounds responsible for naphthalene odors. Proper contact time and sufficient carbon media are crucial, because high flow or undersized tanks reduce removal; when installed at the main line in a Placid Lakes home, this treatment protects showers, faucets, and appliances throughout the house.
Pairing a whole-house activated carbon tank with prefiltration helps keep the carbon bed from clogging with sediment—important for local well users who may experience harder water and more minerals. Carbon media will eventually need scheduled replacement as it becomes exhausted, and if testing shows other concerns like metals or microbes, those are typically addressed with additional stages. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your Placid Lakes home, account for hard water and household flow needs, and size a carbon system so you get reliable treatment at every tap.
