1,2,3-TCP (Trichloropropane) Removal System
The problem
1,2,3-Trichloropropane (TCP) is a likely carcinogen found in groundwater, especially in California’s Central Valley, resulting from past use of soil fumigants and industrial activities.
Standard carbon filtration methods cannot effectively remove TCP due to its chemical resilience, leaving residents exposed to harmful trace organics in their tap water.
Long-term exposure to TCP-contaminated water poses significant health risks, making effective removal critical for safe household water.
How it works — the activated carbon media
This system employs a large bed of specialized coconut-shell catalytic activated carbon media with a high affinity specifically for 1,2,3-TCP and related trace organic contaminants.
The media is housed in a fiberglass mineral tank with automatic backwashing control valve that periodically cleans and regenerates the carbon bed by reversing flow to prevent clogging and maintain filtration efficiency.
An optional under-sink reverse osmosis (RO) polishing stage can be added to further purify drinking water, ensuring the highest quality at every tap. The system is sized to your home’s bathroom count and pre-assembled based on your water test.

Frequently asked questions
How does this system remove 1,2,3-TCP?
The system uses a large bed of specialized coconut-shell catalytic activated carbon media that adsorbs 1,2,3-TCP molecules from your water. An automatic backwashing valve keeps the media clean and effective.
Is this system suitable for my home size?
Yes, the system is sized based on the number of bathrooms in your home, with options for 1–3 bathrooms (10"×54" tank) or 4–6 bathrooms (12"×52" tank) to meet flow rate needs.
Does it require regular maintenance?
Regular maintenance is minimal thanks to the automatic backwash feature that cleans the carbon bed periodically. The bypass valve allows easy servicing when needed.
Can I add drinking water purification?
Yes, an optional under-sink reverse osmosis system can be added to polish drinking water to certified purity standards.
How do I know if I need this system?
A certified 1,2,3-TCP lab test of your water will confirm if TCP is present. We offer free sizing consultations based on your test results before building your system.
What warranties and guarantees come with the system?
You receive a 6-month happiness guarantee and a lifetime warranty on the tank and control valve, providing peace of mind for your investment.
