Including filter system and high-performance 1,1,1-Trichloroethane filter.
1,1,1-Trichloroethane is a manufactured solvent that can enter drinking water when industrial degreasers or similar chemicals reach groundwater. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it can affect more than just drinking water — think cooking, bathing, and laundry. It often doesn’t change water’s appearance, and any smell may be subtle, so local homeowners around Union Park and the greater Orlando/Orange County area commonly rely on testing to know whether this contaminant is present.
When test results show 1,1,1-trichloroethane above recommended levels, many Union Park residents choose to treat the water where it enters the house. A whole-house system protects every tap and appliance across your home — helpful in this part of Orange County where hard groundwater can already stress fixtures. Treating at the point of entry reduces everyday exposure during routine uses without changing how your household runs, while maintaining normal water pressure and flow.
The single most effective filter type for reducing 1,1,1-trichloroethane in a home is a high-quality activated carbon filter formulated for VOC removal. Activated carbon captures many solvent-type compounds by adsorption as water passes through the media. For whole-house use in Union Park homes, this is usually provided as a large carbon tank rather than a small cartridge so there’s enough contact time to treat full household flow, including both hot and cold lines.
Because 1,1,1-trichloroethane is a VOC, filter performance hinges on the carbon quality, the amount of media, and how fast water flows through the tank. A whole-house activated carbon system should be sized to your household demand so water spends enough time in the media for adsorption to work. Regular media replacement is also important since carbon eventually becomes saturated. Mr. Pure Water can help Union Park homeowners choose the right carbon whole-house system based on your water test results and the needs of your home.
