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 Tiger Point households you might notice a mothball-like odor or taste, particularly from warm water, because some compounds become more noticeable at higher temperatures. Even if you don’t detect a smell, many homeowners prefer to address the issue for peace of mind. The only way to know for sure is to have your water tested.
Because naphthalene is linked to petroleum and combustion byproducts, it’s often grouped with other volatile organic compounds that can appear in drinking water. It may get into groundwater from spills, improper chemical storage, or migration through soil in certain locations. Most families in Tiger Point wouldn’t want that in the water they drink, cook with, or bathe in. Treating the entire home with a whole-house system ensures cleaner water at every faucet and shower, not just at a single point.
The most effective single-filter whole-house solution for reducing naphthalene is a high-quality activated carbon filter — often using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed sized for typical home flow rates. Activated carbon removes many organic chemicals and the solvent- or mothball-like odors they cause by adsorbing them onto the media. Performance depends on adequate contact time and enough carbon media; undersized tanks or too-rapid flow can reduce effectiveness. When installed at the main line in a Tiger Point home, this filter treats water before it reaches showers, faucets, and appliances.
A whole-house activated carbon filter in Tiger Point works best when paired with prefiltration to catch sediment and protect the carbon bed. Carbon media will become exhausted over time, so routine cartridge or media replacement is important to maintain performance. If testing in your home uncovers issues like sediment, metals, or microbial concerns, those are usually addressed with additional stages, while carbon remains the primary treatment for naphthalene. Mr. Pure Water can size and recommend the right carbon system for your household to keep water quality steady at every tap.
