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 when water looks clear and tastes normal, so many homeowners only find it through testing or a utility report. If you live in Christmas or nearby areas of Orange County and want confidence in the water coming from every tap — whether from a private well or a municipal connection — treating at the point where water enters your home adds protection.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-trichloroethane are a concern because families use the same water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry every day. This chemical is commonly linked to solvent use and can persist in sources without obvious signs. In rural Christmas many homes rely on private wells, so regular testing is especially important since those wells aren’t covered by municipal monitoring. If you’re on city water in the Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford region, adding a layer of whole-house filtration gives extra peace of mind beyond standard treatment.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is typically the single most effective option for reducing 1,1,2-trichloroethane. Systems using high-quality catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon remove many VOCs by adsorbing them as water passes through the media. Installed at the point of entry for your home in Christmas, this treats water for drinking, showers, laundry and sinks all at once — a convenient choice for households dealing with central Florida’s hard water and any iron or sulfur notes that sometimes come from local aquifers.
Performance hinges on contact time and the volume of carbon media, so choosing the right tank size and flow rate is important for dependable VOC reduction throughout the day. A correctly sized whole-house carbon system will sustain better removal whether you’re running a single faucet or multiple showers in a Bithlo or Christmas household. Like all carbon filters, it requires periodic media replacement to avoid breakthrough; Mr. Pure Water can help size a system for your household’s use and follow up with testing to confirm results.
