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 degreasers or similar chemicals reach groundwater. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it can affect not just drinking water but water used for cooking, bathing and cleaning around your Lake View Point home. It often doesn’t change the appearance of water and any odor may be faint, so many homeowners in Florida’s communities rely on testing to know whether this contaminant or other solvent VOCs are present.
If testing shows 1,1,1-trichloroethane above recommended guidance, treating water where it enters the house is a common choice. A whole-house system protects every faucet and appliance in your Lake View Point residence, not only the kitchen sink, and it reduces daily exposure from routine water use without forcing changes to how your household runs. The right setup targets VOCs while preserving steady water pressure and flow for showers, laundry and other uses.
The most effective single filter for lowering 1,1,1-trichloroethane in home water is a high-quality activated carbon filter made for VOC removal. Activated carbon removes many solvent-type contaminants by adsorption as water passes through the media. For whole-house protection — ideal for Lake View Point homeowners who want treated water at every tap — that usually means a large carbon tank rather than a small cartridge so there’s enough contact time at normal household flow rates. When sized correctly, a carbon tank can treat both hot and cold lines throughout the home.
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 unit should be sized to your family’s typical water use so water moves slowly enough for effective adsorption. Carbon media also has a finite capacity and needs periodic replacement once exhausted. Mr. Pure Water can help Lake View Point homeowners interpret lab results and choose the appropriately sized carbon-based whole-house filter for their needs.
