Including filter system and high-performance 1,1,1-Trichloroethane filter.
1,1,1-Trichloroethane is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when industrial degreasing agents or similar chemicals reach 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, laundry, and other daily tasks. It doesn’t always change water’s appearance, and any smell may be subtle, so many Koerber homeowners rely on laboratory testing to know whether this contaminant is present in their supply.
When testing shows 1,1,1-Trichloroethane above recommended guidance, treating the water where it enters the house is a common choice for Florida homeowners. A whole-house system protects every faucet and appliance in a Koerber home, not just the kitchen sink, and reduces routine exposures from showering, cooking, and cleaning without altering household routines. The appropriate system will target VOCs while maintaining normal water pressure and consistent flow throughout the house.
The single most effective filter type for lowering 1,1,1-Trichloroethane in residential water is a high-quality activated carbon filter formulated for VOC removal. Activated carbon removes many solvent-class contaminants by adsorption as water passes through the media. For whole-house protection in Koerber properties, this is usually provided as a large carbon tank rather than a small under-sink cartridge so there’s enough contact time to treat the home’s full flow, including both hot and cold water uses.
Because 1,1,1-Trichloroethane is a VOC, how well it’s removed depends on the carbon quality, media volume, and the flow rate through the tank. A whole-house activated carbon system should be sized to your household’s demand so water moves slowly enough for effective adsorption, and the carbon media must be replaced periodically since it eventually becomes exhausted. Mr. Pure Water in Koerber can help interpret your water test and recommend the right carbon-based whole-house filter for your home’s needs.
