Including filter system and high-performance Naphthalene filter.
Naphthalene is an organic compound that can enter water when fuel products or industrial materials are nearby. Homeowners sometimes detect a strong mothball-like smell or taste, particularly from warm water, because higher temperatures can release more odor from these compounds. Even if you don’t notice anything by smell, many people prefer to address potential contamination for peace of mind. For residents of Whites Landing, the only reliable way to know is to have your water tested so you can see what’s actually present.
Naphthalene often appears with other petroleum- or combustion-related volatile organic compounds in some water sources. It can get into groundwater through spills, poor storage of chemicals, or migration through soil in affected areas. Most families don’t want solvent- or mothball-like compounds in the water they drink, cook with, or bathe in. A whole-house system makes sense for Whites Landing homes because it improves water quality throughout the house rather than treating only a single faucet.
The most effective single-filter solution for naphthalene in a whole-house setup is a high-quality activated carbon filter — commonly catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed sized for residential flow rates. Activated carbon removes many organic chemicals by adsorption, including those that cause solvent- or mothball-type odors. Proper contact time and sufficient media volume are essential, since undersized tanks or very high flow can reduce removal performance. When installed at the main water line, this filter treats water before it reaches showers, faucets, and appliances in your Whites Landing home.
Pairing a whole-house activated carbon tank with prefiltration helps protect the carbon bed from sediment and keeps flow steady. Carbon media does become exhausted and requires regular replacement or recharging to remain effective. If testing in Whites Landing reveals additional concerns such as heavy sediment, metals, or biological issues, those are usually addressed with additional treatment stages, while carbon remains the primary method for reducing naphthalene. Mr. Pure Water can size the carbon system to your household’s needs so every tap gets reliable treatment.
