Including filter system and high-performance Triclosan filter.
Triclosan is an antibacterial chemical once common in soaps, toothpastes, and other household products. When it rinses down drains it can enter waterways and occasionally reach drinking water sources, so many Scanlon homeowners choose to limit trace contaminants like triclosan throughout their homes. If you want a more consistent, cleaner water experience from every faucet, reducing exposure at the point water enters your house is a practical first step.
Even clear water can contain low-level organic compounds you can’t see or taste. Triclosan is often described as an emerging contaminant because it isn’t always included in routine testing in every area, which can leave Scanlon residents unsure how to address it for cooking, bathing, and brushing teeth. A whole-house solution treats water for the entire home rather than depending on a single point-of-use filter at one sink.
To reduce triclosan throughout your Scanlon home, a whole-house activated carbon filter is typically the most effective single-filter choice. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic chemicals, including triclosan, and when placed at the main water entry it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and appliances. This approach delivers more consistent water quality across the house without changing everyday water habits.
A correctly sized carbon media tank filled with quality activated carbon gives the contact time needed to capture organics like triclosan. In Scanlon homes this whole-house system is often paired with a sediment prefilter to prevent buildup and keep the carbon working efficiently. Because flow rate and media volume should match your household’s water use and incoming water conditions, Mr. Pure Water can help select the right carbon tank so triclosan reduction doesn’t reduce pressure or convenience.
