Including filter system and high-performance 1,1,2-Trichloroethane filter.
1,1,2-Trichloroethane is a synthetic solvent that can enter groundwater when industrial chemicals reach the environment. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it may be present even if water looks and tastes normal, so many homeowners only discover it through testing or utility notices. If you live in Atlantis or elsewhere in Palm Beach County and want greater certainty about the water from every tap, point-of-entry treatment can help protect your home.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-Trichloroethane are a concern because families use the same water for drinking, cooking and bathing day after day, and the compound can linger without clear signs. If your home is on a private well, regular testing is especially important since there’s no municipal monitoring for individual wells; if you’re served by city water in the greater Atlantis area, adding a filtration layer gives extra peace of mind beyond standard treatment in Palm Beach County.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing 1,1,2-Trichloroethane. Systems using high-quality catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon remove many VOCs by adsorption as water flows through the media. Installed at the main water entry to treat water for drinking, showers, laundry and sinks, this approach is a convenient solution for Atlantis homes—especially in our hard-water Palm Beach County climate where treating at the point of entry avoids needing separate units at each tap.
Carbon performance depends on contact time and the amount of media, so choosing the right tank size and flow rate is important for consistent VOC reduction. A properly sized whole-house carbon system will better maintain removal during peak use—whether it’s one faucet or multiple showers running in an Atlantis household—and the media must be replaced periodically to prevent breakthrough. Mr. Pure Water can recommend a system matched to your family’s needs and household demand, and we can arrange follow-up testing to confirm results.
