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 are released into the environment. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it may be present even when water looks and tastes normal, so homeowners in Blocker might only discover it through testing or a utility notice. If you want greater confidence in the water coming into your Florida home, treating it at the point of entry ensures every faucet and appliance gets the same protection.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-Trichloroethane can be concerning even at low levels because families use the same water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry every day. This chemical is often tied to solvent use and can persist in sources without showing clear signs. If your Blocker home relies on a private well, routine testing is especially important since wells aren’t covered by municipal monitoring. For homes on city-supplied water in Florida, adding a whole-house filter gives an extra layer of assurance beyond standard utility treatment.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is commonly the single most effective option for reducing 1,1,2-Trichloroethane. Systems using high-quality catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon work by adsorbing VOCs as water flows through the media. Installed at the main water entry to your Blocker residence, this type of tank treats water for drinking, showers, laundry, and all faucets at once — a convenient alternative to point-of-use units under a sink.
Carbon performance depends on contact time and the amount of media, so selecting the correct tank size and flow rate is important for reliable VOC reduction in your Florida home. A properly sized whole-house carbon system can sustain removal as household demand changes — from one faucet to multiple showers — and will require periodic media replacement to prevent breakthrough. Mr. Pure Water can help size a system for Blocker families and arrange follow-up testing to verify results.
