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 migrate into groundwater. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it can affect more than just the water you drink — it’s present in water used for cooking, showering, and laundry too. Because it often doesn’t change color and any smell can be faint, homeowners in Long Point typically rely on water testing to know whether this contaminant is present in their supply.
When testing shows 1,1,1-trichloroethane above recommended guidance, many Long Point homeowners choose to treat incoming water so every tap is protected. A whole-house system covers showers, washing machines, dishwashers and kitchen taps rather than addressing only a single faucet. That approach lowers routine exposure during everyday use without changing how your household uses water, while keeping pressure and flow steady when the system is sized correctly.
The single most effective filter type for reducing 1,1,1-trichloroethane is a 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 treatment in a Long Point residence this is usually configured as a large carbon tank instead of a small cartridge so there’s sufficient contact time to treat the home’s full flow, and a properly sized tank is able to treat both hot and cold lines throughout the house.
Because 1,1,1-trichloroethane is a VOC, how well it’s removed depends on the carbon quality, the volume of media, and the flow rate through the tank. A whole-house activated carbon system should be matched to your household’s demand so water moves slowly enough for adsorption to work. Carbon media also has a limited capacity and needs periodic replacement. Mr. Pure Water in Long Point can help you interpret water test results and recommend the right carbon-based whole-house filtration sized for your home.
