Including filter system and high-performance Tribromoacetic acid filter.
Tribromoacetic acid is a disinfection byproduct that can form when disinfectants react with natural organic material in source water. Because it’s produced during treatment, it may be present even when water looks clear and has no noticeable odor. Many Scanlon homeowners choose extra protection so they have more control over what comes from every faucet in their house.
Contaminants at low concentrations can still matter when you use water all day for drinking, cooking, bathing, and making ice. Tribromoacetic acid belongs to a broader group of compounds linked to certain disinfection and water chemistry changes, and concentrations can shift as treatment practices or source conditions vary. In Scanlon, a whole-house solution treats water for the entire home rather than addressing just a single sink or fixture.
To reduce tribromoacetic acid throughout your house, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the best single-filter option. Carbon media is commonly used to lower many disinfection byproducts by adsorbing them as water flows through the tank. When installed at the point where water enters a Scanlon home, it treats showers, laundry, dishwashing and every tap for more consistent water quality than isolated point-of-use filters.
Because effective removal relies on adequate contact time and correct sizing, a backwashing carbon filter is often recommended for whole-house applications. Backwashing helps maintain an even media bed, reduces channeling, and clears out trapped sediment so the carbon keeps working well. Mr. Pure Water can help Scanlon homeowners pick the right system size and carbon type to keep treatment reliable as daily demand changes.
