Including filter system and high-performance Picloram filter.
Picloram is a herbicide that can enter drinking water through runoff or movement in soil, especially near areas where weed control is applied. Because you can’t see, taste, or smell it in your tap water, testing is the only reliable way to find it. If you live in Atlantis and worry about picloram in your home’s water, treat it as a trace contaminant issue that’s best addressed where water enters the house rather than at an individual faucet.
Picloram is formulated to persist long enough to control vegetation, so simple cartridge filters often struggle to remove it effectively. Homeowners in Palm Beach County — whether on municipal supply or a private well — may be concerned about contaminants in water used for cooking, drinking, bathing, and rinsing produce. A whole-house system gives consistent treatment to every tap in an Atlantis home, avoiding reliance on a single-point filter that can be overlooked or bypassed.
The most effective single-filter whole-house option for reducing picloram is a high-capacity activated carbon system, typically using granular activated carbon (GAC). Carbon media adsorbs many organic chemicals, including certain herbicides, as water passes through the bed. Compared with small under-sink cartridges, a correctly sized whole-house carbon tank in an Atlantis residence offers longer contact time and treats all household water rather than just one fixture.
Because local water chemistry and usage vary — and Palm Beach County municipal water is commonly hard — the ideal carbon media type and tank size should be chosen based on your water test and household flow needs. Picloram removal depends on concentration, water chemistry, and contact time, so proper system design matters as much as the media itself. Mr. Pure Water can design and install a whole-house GAC system for Atlantis homes, including prefiltration to protect the carbon from sediment and maintain dependable performance during showers, laundry, and everyday use.
