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 degreasing agents or similar chemicals leach into groundwater. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it can affect more than just what you drink — it’s present in water used for cooking, bathing, and laundry too. Because it often doesn’t change the water’s appearance and any odor may be faint, many Hanson homeowners choose professional testing to determine whether this contaminant is present in their supply.
If testing shows 1,1,1-trichloroethane above recommended guidelines, treating water where it enters the house is a common solution for Hanson residents. A whole-house system protects every faucet and appliance, so you reduce routine exposure from showering, cooking and cleaning without altering daily routines. The right whole-home setup targets VOCs while maintaining consistent pressure and flow throughout your Florida home.
The single most effective filter type for reducing 1,1,1-trichloroethane in household water is a high-quality activated carbon filter formulated for VOC removal. Activated carbon removes solvent-type compounds by adsorption as water passes through the media. For whole-house protection in Hanson properties, this is usually installed as a large carbon tank rather than a small under-sink cartridge so there’s enough contact time to treat the full household flow and handle both hot and cold water uses.
Because 1,1,1-trichloroethane is a VOC, how well a carbon system works depends on the carbon quality, the amount of media and the flow rate through the tank. A whole-house activated carbon system should be sized for your household’s demand so water moves slowly enough for effective adsorption, and the media must be replaced periodically since carbon’s capacity is limited. Mr. Pure Water can help Hanson homeowners interpret water test results and choose the right carbon-based whole-house filter for their house and usage patterns.
