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 find their way into the environment. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it may be present even though your water looks and tastes normal, so the only reliable way to detect it is with testing or a utility report. For Audubon homeowners in Hillsborough County who want added assurance about water coming from every faucet, treating water where it enters the home is an effective option.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-Trichloroethane can be a worry for families who rely on the same supply for drinking, cooking and bathing. This chemical is often linked to industrial solvent use and can persist in water without obvious warning signs. If your property uses a private well in the Tampa Bay area, regular testing is especially important because there’s no municipal monitoring for private sources; if you’re on city water, adding whole-house filtration in Audubon gives an extra layer of protection beyond standard treatment.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is typically the single most effective filter for reducing 1,1,2-Trichloroethane. Systems using catalytic or coconut-shell activated carbon remove many VOCs by adsorption as water flows through the media. Installed at the point of entry, this solution treats water for showers, laundry, sinks and drinking throughout your Audubon home — a practical choice for consistent VOC reduction without relying on multiple under‑sink units.
Effective VOC removal depends on contact time and the volume of carbon media, so selecting the correct tank size and flow rate is important—especially in hard-water areas like the Tampa Bay region where many Audubon homes contend with mineral scale. A properly sized whole-house carbon system maintains stronger removal during peak demand, from a single faucet to several showers at once. Like all carbon filters, it requires periodic media replacement to prevent breakthrough; Mr. Pure Water can help size a system for your household and arrange follow-up testing to verify results.
