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 enter groundwater. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it can affect more than just what you drink — think water used for cooking, bathing, and cleaning around your Scanlon home. It often won’t change the water’s appearance, and any odor may be subtle, so many homeowners in the area rely on professional water testing to determine whether this contaminant is present.
If testing shows 1,1,1-trichloroethane above recommended levels, treating water where it enters your house is a common choice. A whole-house system protects every tap and appliance in a Scanlon household, not just the kitchen sink, and reduces daily exposure from routine uses without altering how your family uses water. The right system will target VOCs while maintaining steady water pressure and flow for bathing, laundry and other needs.
The most effective single filter type for lowering 1,1,1-trichloroethane in a home is a high-quality activated carbon filter rated for VOC removal. Activated carbon removes many solvent-type chemicals by adsorption as water passes through the media. For whole-house treatment in Scanlon homes this is usually provided as 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 water throughout the entire house.
Because 1,1,1-trichloroethane is a VOC, how well it’s removed depends on the carbon quality, media volume, and flow rate through the tank. A whole-house activated carbon system should be sized for your household’s demand so water moves slowly enough for effective adsorption. Carbon media will eventually exhaust and need replacement, so routine maintenance is important. Mr. Pure Water can help Scanlon homeowners choose the right carbon-based whole-house filtration based on water test results and household usage.
