Including filter system and high-performance 1,1,2-Trichloroethane filter.
1,1,2-Trichloroethane is a synthetic solvent that can reach drinking water when industrial chemicals enter the environment and move into groundwater. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it may be present even if your water looks clear and tastes normal, so many Green Point homeowners only discover it through lab testing or a utility report. If you’d like greater assurance about what comes from every faucet, treating water at the point where it enters your house is an effective step.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-Trichloroethane can be worrying even at low levels because families in Green Point use the same water to drink, cook, bathe, and do laundry each day. This chemical is often linked to historical or current solvent use and can persist without obvious signs in the water. If your home relies on a private well, regular testing is especially important since municipal monitoring doesn’t cover private supplies; for homes on city water, adding a layer of whole-house filtration gives extra reassurance beyond standard treatment.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is generally the most effective single-filter choice for reducing 1,1,2-Trichloroethane. Systems using high-quality catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon remove many VOCs by adsorption as water flows through the media. Installed at the point of entry for Green Point homes, this type of tank treats water for drinking, bathing, laundry and all taps at once, offering consistent reduction without depending on small under-sink units.
Because VOC removal relies on contact time and the amount of carbon media, choosing the right tank size and flow rate is important for reliable performance. A properly sized whole-house carbon system will maintain better removal during varied household demand—from a single faucet to several showers running in a Florida home. Like all carbon filters, it requires periodic media replacement to prevent breakthrough; Mr. Pure Water can help size a system for your household and arrange follow-up testing to verify results.
