Including filter system and high-performance 1,1,2-Trichloroethane filter.
1,1,2-Trichloroethane is a synthetic solvent that can reach groundwater when industrial chemicals enter the environment. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it may be present even if water looks and tastes normal, so the only way to know for sure is through testing or utility reports. For Lake Mystic homeowners who want confidence in the water that comes out of every faucet, treating at the point where water enters your house is an effective step.
VOCs like 1,1,2-Trichloroethane can be a worry for families who use the same water for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundering every day because they can persist without obvious signs. In Lake Mystic, whether you’re on a private well or connected to a municipal system, periodic testing is a smart idea — private wells aren’t covered by routine municipal monitoring, and even city-treated water can benefit from an extra layer of protection at the point of entry.
The most effective single whole-house option for removing 1,1,2-Trichloroethane is an activated carbon filter installed at the main water line. High-quality catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon removes many VOCs through adsorption as water flows through the media. Placed where water enters your Lake Mystic home, this type of system treats water for drinking, showers, laundry and all taps at once, offering consistent reduction without relying on small under-sink units.
Carbon performance depends on contact time and the amount of media, so choosing the correct tank size and flow rate is important for reliable VOC removal in Lake Mystic households. A properly sized whole-house carbon system sustains better reduction during varying demand — from a single faucet to multiple showers — and will require periodic media replacement to prevent breakthrough. Mr. Pure Water can help size a system for your family’s use and arrange follow-up testing to confirm the results.
