Including filter system and high-performance Triclosan filter.
Triclosan is an antibacterial ingredient once used in some soaps, toothpastes, and personal care items. Because it can wash down drains, traces can make their way into waterways and sometimes into drinking water sources. Century homeowners who want more consistent, better-tasting water often choose ways to lower trace contaminants like triclosan throughout the house. If you’d like greater confidence in the water from every tap, reducing exposure at the main line is a practical step.
Water that looks clear in Century still may contain low concentrations of organic compounds you can’t see or taste. Triclosan is often described as an “emerging contaminant,” meaning it isn’t always included in routine testing everywhere, which can leave homeowners unsure how best to address it for everyday uses like cooking, bathing, and brushing teeth. Choosing a whole-house solution lets you protect all points of use instead of relying on a single faucet filter.
To reduce triclosan in household water, the most effective single-filter choice is a whole-house activated carbon filter. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic chemicals, including triclosan, and when installed at the home’s main water entry it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and appliances. For Century residents who want a low-maintenance way to address trace contaminants, this approach provides consistent coverage without changing daily water use.
A correctly sized carbon media tank filled with quality activated carbon gives the longer contact time needed to capture organics like triclosan. These systems are commonly paired with a prefilter to cut down on sediment and keep the carbon working well. Because flow rate and media volume should match your home’s water use and incoming conditions, Mr. Pure Water in Century can help select and install the right whole-house carbon filter so you get triclosan reduction without sacrificing water pressure or convenience.
