Including filter system and high-performance Toxaphene filter.
Toxaphene is a synthetic pesticide that can persist in the environment long after it was used. Because it degrades slowly and can move with soil and sediment, it may be detected in some water sources at low concentrations. Homeowners often won’t notice any taste or smell when trace contaminants are present, which is why testing your New Harmony water is important. If tests identify toxaphene, a tailored treatment plan can help you regain confidence in the water you use for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
Legacy agricultural chemicals can enter water supplies when runoff or disturbed sediment reaches surface waters and connected systems. Toxaphene tends to attach to organic particles rather than staying dissolved, so it can travel with sediment during changes in flow or treatment. Even visually clear water can contain these compounds. Treating water at the point it enters your New Harmony home — a whole-house approach — helps deliver more consistent water quality for showers, laundry, and kitchen use.
For toxaphene, the single most effective whole-house option is a high-quality activated carbon system. Activated carbon works well for many hydrophobic organic contaminants, including pesticides, by adsorbing them onto the carbon surface. When the tank is properly sized, the carbon provides sufficient contact time for contaminants to be captured as water passes through, giving treated water to every tap without relying on multiple point-of-use units.
Because removal depends on carbon type, media volume, and flow rate, the system should be selected to match your New Harmony household’s water use and any lab results you have. Granular activated carbon (GAC) is a common choice for whole-house systems, while catalytic carbon can be chosen when broader chemical reduction is desired. Routine media replacement prevents the carbon from becoming exhausted. Mr. Pure Water can help size and specify the right whole-house activated carbon setup to target toxaphene while keeping strong, reliable flow.
