Including filter system and high-performance 1,1,2-Trichloroethane filter.
1,1,2-Trichloroethane is a manufactured solvent that can enter groundwater when industrial chemicals are released and migrate into water supplies. Because it’s a volatile organic compound (VOC), it may be present even when your water looks clear and tastes fine, so Galliver homeowners often discover it only after a water test or reviewing a utility report. If you’d like greater assurance about the water coming from every tap in your Florida home, treating at the point where water enters the house can provide consistent protection.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-Trichloroethane can be worrisome for families who use the same water for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry every day. This chemical has historically been used as a solvent and can persist in water without obvious warning signs. If your Galliver residence is served by a private well, regular testing is especially important because there isn’t routine municipal monitoring for private supplies; if you receive city water, adding a home filtration layer can offer extra peace of mind beyond standard treatment.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is typically the most effective single-filter choice for reducing 1,1,2-Trichloroethane. High-quality catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon works by adsorption, trapping VOCs as water flows through the media. Installed at the main water entry for your Galliver home, this solution treats water used for drinking, showers, sinks and laundry all at once — a practical option when you want broad, consistent reduction without relying solely on smaller point-of-use units.
Performance for VOC removal depends on contact time and the volume of carbon media, so selecting the right tank size and flow rate is important for effective reduction. A properly sized whole-house carbon system will sustain better removal during typical Galliver household demand, from a single faucet draw to multiple fixtures running at once. Like other carbon filters, periodic media replacement is required to prevent breakthrough; Mr. Pure Water can help size a system for your home and arrange follow-up testing to verify results when needed.
