1,2,3-TCP (Trichloropropane) Removal System

Remove 1,2,3-TCP (trichloropropane) from your water

1,2,3-Trichloropropane, or TCP, is a man-made chemical linked to industrial solvents and certain agricultural fumigants. It has contaminated groundwater in some regions and is a health concern even at extremely low concentrations. TCP is odorless and tasteless at those levels, so a specialized laboratory test is the only way to know it is present.

A system for a trace contaminant

Because TCP is a trace-level dissolved chemical, it demands treatment engineered for very low concentrations rather than general-purpose filtration. This system is configured around media proven to capture TCP dependably.

How it is removed

Water passes through specialized granular activated carbon selected for its affinity for TCP. The media's capacity depends on your measured concentration and flow, so the correct sizing — and the replacement interval — come directly from your laboratory result. Adequate contact time is essential to capture a contaminant present in parts per trillion.

What to confirm

• Specialized testing: standard panels may not include TCP; request it specifically.
• Contact time matters at such low concentrations.
• Track media life and replace on schedule.

Send us your TCP result and household demand and we will confirm the build and settings and size it precisely. Ships free in the US with manuals and expert support for a contaminant that must be treated with real precision.

Where TCP comes from

1,2,3-TCP entered groundwater largely as an impurity in soil fumigants and as a byproduct of certain chemical manufacturing, and it is extremely persistent once present. Because it poses a health risk at parts-per-trillion levels, states like California have set very low limits and require public systems to treat for it. Private-well owners must request TCP-specific testing, since it does not appear on standard panels.

Precision over the long run

Capturing a contaminant at such low concentrations depends on maintaining adequate carbon capacity and contact time, so a disciplined media-replacement schedule is essential. We size the system to your measured level and flow, provide the manuals for correct installation, and help you plan retesting and change-outs so protection never lapses. If you are unsure whether your panel covered TCP, ask us and we will point you to the right test before you buy.
