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 degreasers or similar chemicals find their way into groundwater. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it can affect more than just what you drink — it can be present in water you use for cooking, bathing and laundry. It often doesn’t change the water’s appearance, and any smell may be subtle, so many Overstreet homeowners rely on testing to know whether this contaminant is present in their supply.
If testing finds 1,1,1-trichloroethane above recommended levels, treating the water at the point it enters your Overstreet home is a common choice. A whole-house system protects every faucet and appliance, not just the kitchen sink, and cuts daily exposure during ordinary tasks like showering and dishwashing. The right whole-house unit targets VOCs while preserving water pressure and ensuring consistent flow throughout the house.
The single most effective filter type for reducing 1,1,1-trichloroethane in a home’s supply is a high-quality activated carbon filter specified for VOC removal. Activated carbon removes many solvent-style contaminants by adsorption as water passes through the media. For whole-house protection in Overstreet, this is typically provided as a large carbon tank rather than a small under-sink cartridge so the water has enough contact time to be treated at full household flow, including both hot and cold lines.
Because 1,1,1-trichloroethane is a VOC, how well it’s removed depends on the carbon quality, the amount of media and how fast water moves through the tank. A whole-house activated carbon system should be sized for your Overstreet household so water passes slowly enough for effective adsorption. Carbon does have a limited capacity and needs media replacement on a schedule; Mr. Pure Water can help you pick and size the right carbon whole-house filter based on your water test results and household needs.
