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 degreasers or similar industrial chemicals make their way into groundwater. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it can affect water you drink as well as water used for cooking, bathing and laundry. It often doesn’t change water’s appearance and any smell may be subtle, so many Jones Landing homeowners rely on laboratory testing to know whether it’s present in their supply.
If testing shows 1,1,1-trichloroethane above guideline levels, treating water where it enters the home is a popular choice. A whole-house system protects every tap and appliance — not just the kitchen — and helps reduce routine exposure from showers, dishwashing and other daily uses without asking you to change habits. For residents of Jones Landing, a properly specified whole-house solution delivers effective VOC reduction while maintaining the water pressure and flow your household expects.
The most effective single filter type for reducing 1,1,1-trichloroethane in a home is a high-quality activated carbon filter formulated for VOC removal. Activated carbon removes many solvent-type compounds by adsorption as water passes through the media. For whole-house use this is usually a large carbon tank rather than a small cartridge, which provides the contact time needed to treat full household flow. When sized correctly, a carbon tank can treat both hot and cold water throughout your Jones Landing home.
Because 1,1,1-trichloroethane is a VOC, removal performance depends on the carbon quality, how much media is in the tank and the flow rate through it. A whole-house activated carbon system must be sized for your household demand so water moves slowly enough for effective adsorption, and the media must be replaced on schedule since carbon’s capacity is limited. Mr. Pure Water can help Jones Landing homeowners interpret water test results and select a carbon-based whole-house filter that fits their home and usage patterns.
