Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
PCBs are a group of industrial chemicals known as polychlorinated biphenyls that persist in the environment and can sometimes show up in water supplies. Historically used in electrical equipment and manufacturing, these compounds don’t break down easily and can remain in waterways for long periods. New Harmony homeowners most commonly hear about them from utility notices, neighborhood conversations, or private water tests — and understanding where they come from is the first step to protecting your household.
Because PCBs usually occur at trace levels, they won’t change the look, smell, or taste of your tap water in New Harmony. They can enter drinking water through legacy contamination, disturbed sediments, or runoff that carries pollutants into surface sources. Even when water appears clear, concerns about long-term exposure for cooking, bathing, and laundry are valid — which is why treating the whole house rather than a single faucet is a practical approach for local families.
The best single-filter option for a whole-house system to tackle PCBs is a top-quality activated carbon filter, typically using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon block that provides strong adsorption. Because PCBs are hydrophobic organic compounds, they’re effectively captured by carbon media rather than by basic sediment filters. As New Harmony’s water flows through the carbon bed, polychlorinated biphenyls cling to the carbon surface and are reduced before reaching your taps, while the system also helps lower other similar organic contaminants.
For reliable performance in a New Harmony home, an activated carbon PCB filter needs adequate contact time and enough media volume to handle your household flow rates, especially during peak use. A pre-filter for sediment is commonly installed upstream to prevent premature clogging of the carbon, while the carbon stage does the primary removal. Proper sizing and timely media or cartridge replacement are key because adsorption capacity will eventually be used up; Mr. Pure Water can size and install a whole-house carbon system matched to your property to address PCBs at the main water entry.
