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 reach the environment. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it may be present even when water appears clear and tastes normal, so many Kings Point homeowners only discover it through testing or utility reports. If you want consistent protection for showers, laundry and all household taps, treating water at the point of entry is the most reliable way to address contaminants that aren’t visible.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-trichloroethane are a concern for families who use the same supply for drinking, cooking and bathing every day. This chemical has been used as a solvent and can persist in water without obvious warning signs. Residents on private wells should test regularly since they don’t have municipal monitoring, while Kings Point homes on city water may choose an extra layer of filtration to complement standard treatment and add peace of mind.
The most effective single-filter whole-house option for reducing 1,1,2-trichloroethane is an activated carbon system. Catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon is frequently specified because it adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through the media. Installed at the main water inlet for your Kings Point property, a quality whole-house carbon filter treats every tap — from showers near our hot, humid summers to kitchen sinks — without relying on small point-of-use units.
Effective VOC removal depends on adequate contact time and enough media volume, so selecting the right carbon tank size and flow rate is important — especially in Palm Beach County homes where hard water from the limestone aquifer can contribute to scale and variable demand. A properly sized whole-house carbon system keeps removal consistent whether one faucet is running or multiple showers are on. Like all carbon filters, periodic media replacement prevents breakthrough; Mr. Pure Water can size a system for your Kings Point household and verify results with follow-up testing if you’d like.
