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 if your water looks clear and tastes normal, and many Gritney homeowners only discover it through a lab test or their utility’s report. If you want greater confidence about what comes from every faucet in your Florida home, treating water where it enters the house is a reliable step.
Low concentrations of VOCs such as 1,1,2-Trichloroethane can still be a worry for families who use the same water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and washing. This chemical is commonly linked to solvent use and can remain hidden in water supplies without obvious signs. If your Gritney property uses a private well, regular testing is especially important because there’s no municipal monitoring for private sources; if you’re on a public system, adding a point-of-entry filter gives an extra layer of protection beyond standard treatment.
To reduce 1,1,2-Trichloroethane throughout the home, a whole-house activated carbon filter is often the best single-filter choice. Catalytic or coconut-shell activated carbon is commonly used to adsorb many VOCs, trapping them as water flows through the media. Installed at the main water entry for your Gritney residence, this solution treats water used for drinking, showers, laundry, and sinks all at once, making it a convenient alternative to multiple under-sink units.
Removal depends on contact time and the volume of carbon media, so choosing the right tank size and flow rate is important for effective VOC reduction. A correctly sized whole-house carbon system will sustain better removal as water use varies in a Gritney household — from a single faucet to simultaneous showers — and like all carbon systems it requires periodic media replacement to prevent breakthrough. Mr. Pure Water can help size a system for your home’s needs and verify performance with follow-up testing when desired.
