Triphenyl Phosphate in Winter Garden Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Triphenyl Phosphate in the Water Supply of Winter Garden Florida Homes

Triphenyl phosphate is an organophosphate used in some flame retardants and plastic additives, and it can enter household water through everyday product use and disposal. In Winter Garden and the surrounding Orange County area, homeowners who prefer minimizing synthetic chemicals often choose testing because triphenyl phosphate doesn’t produce a reliable taste or smell. Because you can’t count on sensory clues, a treatment plan that targets the contaminant’s chemistry is the practical next step for protecting water used for cooking, drinking, and bathing.

Triphenyl phosphate behaves like many dissolved organics: concentrations can change over time and between sources, and it may travel with other dissolved compounds that affect overall water quality. Even if water from your taps in neighborhoods from Downtown Winter Garden to Horizon West looks clear, dissolved contaminants can still be present. A whole-house approach treats water at the point it enters your home so every faucet, shower and appliance is covered, giving Winter Garden homeowners consistent protection throughout the house.
