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 are nearby. Homeowners often describe it as a strong mothball-like smell or taste, especially noticeable when running warm water because higher temperatures can release more odor. Even without an obvious scent, many Sewall's Point residents prefer to test and address potential contaminants for peace of mind—testing is the only reliable way to know what's in your water.
Because naphthalene is linked to petroleum and combustion byproducts, it’s commonly grouped with other volatile organic compounds that sometimes show up in water. It can enter drinking water from spills, improper chemical storage near a property, or by migrating through soil into groundwater. Whether you live near the Indian River Lagoon, close to Stuart Causeway, or elsewhere in Martin County, most families don’t want these compounds in the water they drink, cook with, or bathe in. A whole-house system treats every faucet and shower in the home, providing consistent protection throughout Sewall's Point properties.
For naphthalene reduction, the single most effective whole-house filter is a properly sized activated carbon unit—often catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed designed for typical home flow rates. Activated carbon reduces many organic chemicals and the solvent- or mothball-like odors they cause by adsorbing them onto the media. Performance depends on enough contact time and sufficient carbon volume; undersized tanks or excessive flow can lessen effectiveness. Installed at the main water line, this filter treats water before it reaches showers, faucets, and appliances throughout Sewall's Point homes.
Pairing a whole-house activated carbon filter with prefiltration helps protect the carbon bed from the hard water mineral and sediment common in coastal Martin County, preserving flow and lifespan. Carbon media does become exhausted and needs scheduled replacement, and cartridge or media changes keep the system working well. If water testing in your Sewall's Point home shows sediment, metals, or microbial concerns, those are usually handled by complementary stages, while carbon remains the primary treatment for naphthalene—Mr. Pure Water can size and recommend the right configuration for your household demand.
