Including filter system and high-performance Trifluralin filter.
Trifluralin is an herbicide used to control weeds that can enter water through runoff and movement in soil. Even when tap water looks clear and tastes normal, small amounts of chemicals like trifluralin can be present, and many New Harmony homeowners choose to reduce that exposure. Treating water at the point it enters your house helps protect everyday uses—drinking, bathing, laundry and more—from contaminants you can’t see.
Because trifluralin is applied outdoors, its presence in water can vary with seasons and nearby land use, so it may be intermittent rather than constant. Often there aren’t any obvious smells or colors to indicate its presence, so testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s in your supply. For residents of New Harmony who want coverage at every faucet, a point-of-entry system gives broader, more consistent protection than treating only a single sink or appliance.
To reduce trifluralin, a whole-house activated carbon filter is typically the most effective single-filter choice. Trifluralin is an organic compound, and activated carbon works by adsorbing many organics into its porous structure—something sediment filters can’t do. Installed on the main water line in your New Harmony home, a properly sized carbon system treats all household water without changing how you use it.
Using catalytic or high-capacity granular activated carbon (GAC) can boost performance and extend time between media changes by offering more adsorption surface and longer contact time. Correct sizing matters for New Harmony homes so the water spends enough time in the carbon to capture contaminants. Because carbon media is consumable, scheduled replacement is important to maintain performance—Mr. Pure Water can help select the right whole-house carbon configuration for your household's water use and any test results you have.
