Including filter system and high-performance 1,1,1-Trichloroethane filter.
1,1,1-trichloroethane is a synthetic solvent that can reach drinking water when industrial degreasers or similar chemicals seep into groundwater. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it can impact more than just beverages — water you use for cooking, washing dishes, showering, and laundry can be involved too. It won’t always alter water’s appearance, and any smell may be faint, so many Craggs homeowners choose professional water testing to know for sure whether this contaminant is present.
If testing shows 1,1,1-trichloroethane above recommended limits, treating the water where it enters your house is a common solution. A whole-house system protects every faucet and appliance in your Craggs home, not just a single tap, and lowers routine exposure from everyday activities without asking you to change habits. The right system focuses on removing VOCs while maintaining steady water pressure and flow for the whole household.
The single most effective filter type for reducing 1,1,1-trichloroethane is a quality activated carbon filter formulated for VOC removal. Activated carbon removes many solvent-like compounds by adsorption as water moves through the media. For whole-house use in Craggs homes this typically means a large carbon tank rather than a small cartridge, giving enough contact time to handle the full household flow and serve both hot and cold lines throughout the house.
Because 1,1,1-trichloroethane is a VOC, how well it’s removed depends on the carbon’s quality, the amount of media in the tank, and the flow rate through the system. A whole-house activated carbon filter should be sized to your family’s water use so water passes slowly enough for effective adsorption, and the media must be replaced on a schedule since carbon eventually becomes exhausted. Mr. Pure Water in Craggs can help interpret your water test and recommend the right carbon-based whole-house system for your home’s needs.
