Including filter system and high-performance Picloram filter.
Picloram is a herbicide that can enter drinking water when runoff or soil movement carries it away from treated areas. Because you can’t see, taste, or smell picloram (also known by other names homeowners may search for), a standard water test is often how it’s discovered. If you’re a River Park homeowner worried about unhealthy levels in your tap water, think of picloram as a trace contaminant issue that’s best handled where water first enters your house rather than as a surface-level nuisance like hard water scale.
Picloram’s persistence makes it harder to capture with simple cartridge filters or point-of-use devices. For families in River Park and across Brevard County, that can be concerning since we use the same water for cooking, bathing, and rinsing produce—every use adds up. Whether you’re on a private well or municipal supply, you may want added whole-home protection if tests show picloram or nearby land use raises questions. A whole-house system treats all taps so you aren’t relying on a single faucet filter that can be forgotten or bypassed.
The best single-filter choice for whole-house reduction of picloram is a high-capacity activated carbon system, typically using granular activated carbon (GAC). Carbon media is commonly employed to reduce organic contaminants, including certain herbicides, by adsorbing them as water passes through the media bed. In River Park’s hard water conditions, a properly sized whole-house carbon tank gives more contact time and longer service life than small cartridges, and it treats every faucet in the home rather than only the kitchen sink.
Every water supply is unique, so the ideal carbon media type and tank size should be selected based on your water test, household flow rate, and local water chemistry. Picloram removal depends on concentration, contact time, and how fast water moves through the filter, so system design matters as much as the carbon itself. Mr. Pure Water can size and install a whole-house GAC system for River Park homes—pairing it with prefiltration when needed to protect the media from sediment and keep performance steady during showers, laundry, and daily use.
