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 many Felkel homeowners only discover it through water testing or a utility report. If you want more certainty about the water coming into your house, installing treatment at the point where water enters your home is an effective step.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-Trichloroethane can be worrisome because families use the same water for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry every day. The compound is often linked to past or current solvent use and can persist without obvious signs. If your property in Felkel uses a private well, routine testing is especially important since private supplies aren’t covered by municipal monitoring; if you’re on a public system, an additional whole-house filter can offer extra reassurance beyond standard treatment.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is typically the single best filter choice for reducing 1,1,2-Trichloroethane. High-quality catalytic or coconut-shell activated carbon captures many VOCs by adsorption as water flows through the media. When installed at the main water entry to your Felkel home, this style of system treats water for drinking, showers, laundry and all faucets at once—providing broad protection without relying on under-sink units.
Effective VOC removal depends on contact time and media volume, so choosing the right carbon tank size and flow rate is important. A properly sized whole-house carbon system will maintain better removal as household demand shifts—whether it’s one faucet or multiple showers in use in your Felkel home. Like all carbon filters, the media must be replaced periodically to prevent breakthrough; Mr. Pure Water can help size a system for your family and arrange follow-up testing to confirm performance.
