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 cleaners or similar chemicals reach groundwater. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it can affect water you drink, cook with, and use for bathing or washing—sometimes without obvious taste or odor. In Lantana and elsewhere in Palm Beach County, the only reliable way to know if it’s present is through proper water testing, since appearances and smells aren’t a dependable indicator.
If testing shows 1,1,1-Trichloroethane above recommended levels, many Lantana homeowners choose whole-house treatment so every faucet and appliance is covered. Treating water at the point of entry protects day-to-day activities—showering at homes near Lake Worth Lagoon or cooking in kitchens across Hypoluxo Island—without changing household routines. The right whole-house system targets VOCs while preserving water pressure and steady flow for all uses around your Palm Beach County home.
The single most effective filter type for reducing 1,1,1-Trichloroethane in a home's supply is a high-grade activated carbon filter engineered for VOC removal. Activated carbon adsorbs solvent-type contaminants as water passes through the media; for whole-house coverage this is usually supplied as a large carbon tank rather than a small under-sink cartridge so there’s enough contact time at full household flow. A correctly sized carbon tank can treat both hot and cold water throughout Lantana residences, from Lantana Pines to Hibiscus Point.
Because 1,1,1-Trichloroethane is a VOC, an activated carbon system’s effectiveness hinges on the carbon quality, the amount of media, and the flow rate through the tank. In hard-water Palm Beach County homes—where mineral scale buildup is common—choosing the right size ensures water moves slowly enough for adsorption to work. Carbon media must also be replaced periodically when it’s spent. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Lantana water test results and recommend a carbon-based whole-house solution matched to your household’s demand.
