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 clear and tastes normal, so many Century homeowners only discover it through testing or a utility report. If you want confidence in the water coming from every tap in your Florida home, treating the water at the point of entry is an effective option.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-trichloroethane are a particular concern because families use the same water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry every day. This compound is often linked to historical or current solvent use and can remain in water without obvious warning signs. If you rely on a private well in Century, regular testing is especially important since there isn’t routine municipal monitoring for individual wells; if you’re on a public supply, adding whole-house filtration can give extra peace of mind beyond standard treatment.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is commonly the single most effective filter type for reducing 1,1,2-trichloroethane. Catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon works by adsorption, trapping many VOCs as water flows through the media. Installed at the main water entry to your Century residence, this solution treats water for drinking, showers, sinks, and laundry all at once and is a practical alternative to relying solely on small under-sink units.
Carbon performance depends on having enough contact time and media volume, so choosing the right tank size and flow rate matters for effective VOC reduction. A properly sized whole-house carbon system will maintain better removal during peak use—whether it’s a single faucet or multiple showers at once—and requires periodic media replacement to prevent breakthrough. Mr. Pure Water can help match a system to your household’s needs in Century and arrange follow-up testing to verify results when requested.
