Including filter system and high-performance Naphthalene filter.
Naphthalene is an organic compound that can enter water when fuel-related products or industrial materials are nearby. In Winter Park you might notice a mothball-like odor or taste, especially from warm water, since higher temperatures can make these smells more noticeable. Even if you don’t detect an odor, many homeowners prefer to confirm their water’s safety — testing is the only way to know for sure if naphthalene or related chemicals are present.
Because naphthalene is linked to petroleum and combustion byproducts, it’s often grouped with other volatile organic compounds that can affect some water sources. It can come from spills, improper storage of chemicals near the property, or migration through soils into groundwater in certain areas. For families around Park Avenue, Rollins College, or neighborhoods like Hannibal Square, a whole-house solution ensures water used for drinking, cooking, and bathing receives the same consistent treatment — not just the water at a single faucet.
The most effective single-filter option for whole-house naphthalene reduction is a high-quality activated carbon filter, commonly using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media bed sized for typical home flow rates. Activated carbon removes many organic chemicals that cause solvent- or mothball-like odors by adsorbing them onto the media. Proper contact time and adequate carbon volume are important — undersized tanks or overly fast flow will reduce effectiveness — so the system should be installed at the main water line to treat water before it reaches showers, faucets, and appliances throughout your Winter Park home.
Pairing a whole-house activated carbon filter with prefiltration helps prevent Central Florida’s moderate mineral content and sediment from clogging the carbon bed, keeping flow steady and performance reliable. Carbon media will exhaust over time, so regular replacement of cartridges or media is necessary to maintain naphthalene reduction. If testing uncovers other concerns like sediment, metals, or microbes, those are typically addressed with additional stages, while carbon remains the primary treatment for naphthalene; Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right carbon sizing for your household demand in Winter Park.
