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 are released into the environment. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it may be present even when water looks and tastes fine, so many Lely Resort homeowners only find out about it through a lab test or a utility report. If you’d like to be sure every tap in your home — from the kitchen to the shower after a round at the Mustang Course — is treated, point-of-entry treatment is an effective way to add that protection.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-trichloroethane are something to take seriously when the same water is used for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry each day. This compound is commonly linked to historical or ongoing solvent use and can linger without obvious signs. In Lely Resort, where many homes use municipal water from Collier County utilities and hard water is common, regular testing and an added filtration layer can give families extra assurance beyond the standard treatment provided by the utility.
The most effective single-filter whole-house option for reducing 1,1,2-trichloroethane is an activated carbon system. High-quality catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon works by adsorbing VOCs as water flows through the media. Installed at the main water entry for your Lely Resort property, this approach treats water for drinking, showers, sinks and laundry all at once — a practical solution for homeowners who want consistent reduction throughout the house instead of relying on under-sink units.
Because VOC reduction depends on contact time and media volume, choosing the right carbon tank size and flow rate is important for homes in Collier County. A properly sized whole-house carbon system maintains better removal during varying demand — from a single faucet to multiple showers after a day on the links at Players Club & Spa — and needs periodic media replacement to prevent breakthrough. Mr. Pure Water can help size a system for your household, account for Lely Resort’s hard water factors, and arrange follow-up testing to verify performance.
