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 when water appears clear and tastes normal, so many homeowners only discover it through lab testing or a utility notice. For Lakemont residents who want confidence in what comes from every tap, treating water at the point it enters your home provides whole-house protection.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-Trichloroethane can be worrisome because families use the same water for drinking, cooking and bathing every day, and the compound can persist without visible signs. If your Lakemont home is on a private well, regular testing is especially important since wells aren’t covered by municipal monitoring; if you’re served by a public system, adding whole-house filtration can give extra reassurance beyond standard treatment.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is often the single most effective filter for reducing 1,1,2-Trichloroethane. Systems using high-quality catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon remove many VOCs by adsorption as water passes through the media. When installed at the main water entry for your Lakemont home, this solution treats supply used for drinking, showers, laundry and sinks all at once — a practical alternative to relying solely on a small point-of-use unit.
Reduction performance depends on contact time, media volume, and system sizing, so choosing the right carbon tank and flow rate is important for consistent VOC removal. A properly sized whole-house carbon system in hard-water areas like much of central Florida can handle varying demand—from a single tap to multiple showers—while helping limit limescale issues on fixtures. Like any carbon filter, it needs periodic media replacement to prevent breakthrough; Mr. Pure Water can recommend a system matched to your Lakemont household and arrange follow-up testing to confirm results.
