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 looks and tastes normal, so Liberty homeowners often only discover it through a water test or a utility notice. If you want greater assurance about the water coming into your Florida home, treating at the point where water enters the house is an effective step.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-trichloroethane can be concerning for families who drink, cook, bathe, and wash with the same water every day because they can persist without obvious signs. In Liberty, owners of private wells should be especially diligent about periodic testing since private supplies don’t receive routine municipal monitoring. If your house is on a public system, adding a whole-house filter provides an extra layer of protection beyond standard treatment and gives local homeowners added peace of mind.
The most effective single-filter choice for reducing 1,1,2-trichloroethane is a whole-house activated carbon system. High-quality catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon works by adsorption, trapping VOCs as water passes through the media. Installed at the main water entry for Liberty homes, this solution treats water used for drinking, showering, laundry, and sinks all at once and is more practical for whole-home protection than relying solely on point-of-use under-sink units.
VOC reduction depends on contact time and media volume, so choosing the proper carbon tank size and maintaining appropriate flow rates is important for steady performance in a Liberty household. A correctly sized whole-house carbon system keeps removal effective as water demand varies—whether it’s one faucet or multiple showers running. Like all carbon filters, the media needs periodic replacement to prevent breakthrough; Mr. Pure Water can help size a system for your home and verify results with follow-up testing when requested.
