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 products migrate into groundwater. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it can affect more than just what you sip—water used for cooking, bathing and cleaning can also be a pathway of exposure. It often won’t change the water’s appearance and any smell can be faint, so many Franjo homeowners rely on professional water testing to know whether this contaminant is present.
If testing shows 1,1,1-trichloroethane above recommended levels, treating the water at the point it enters your Franjo home protects every faucet and appliance. A whole-house system covers showers, washing machines and kitchen use alike, lowering daily exposure without forcing changes to how you use water. The right whole-home solution targets VOCs while maintaining steady pressure and flow throughout the house.
The single most effective filter type for removing 1,1,1-trichloroethane is a high-quality activated carbon filter formulated for VOC reduction. Activated carbon removes many solvent-style contaminants by adsorption as water passes through the media. For whole-house protection in Franjo, carbon is usually supplied as a large tank rather than a small under-sink cartridge so there’s enough contact time to treat the home’s full flow. A correctly sized carbon tank can handle both hot and cold water uses throughout the house.
Because 1,1,1-trichloroethane is a VOC, effectiveness depends on the carbon’s quality, the volume of media and the flow rate through the tank. A whole-house activated carbon system for a Franjo residence should be sized to household demand so water moves slowly enough for adsorption to work. Carbon media is consumable and needs periodic replacement to stay effective. Mr. Pure Water can help interpret your water test and recommend the right carbon-based whole-house filtration for your home and needs.
