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 when water appears clear and tastes normal, so many homeowners only discover it through testing or a water quality report. In Lorida and the greater Highlands County area, treating water at the point of entry gives families confidence that what comes from each tap—whether at the kitchen sink or the shower—is being addressed.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-trichloroethane can be worrying for households that use the same water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry every day. This compound is linked to industrial solvent use and can persist in water without obvious signs. Many homes around Lorida and the Lake Placid area rely on private wells, where routine municipal monitoring doesn’t apply—so regular testing is especially important. If you’re on a public system, adding a dedicated filter provides extra reassurance on top of standard treatment.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is often the single best option for reducing 1,1,2-trichloroethane. Systems using high-quality catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon remove many VOCs by adsorption, trapping contaminants as water flows through the media. Installed at the main water entry, this solution treats water for drinking, showering, laundry, and all taps throughout your Lorida home—an effective alternative to relying only on small under-sink units.
VOC removal depends on contact time and the volume of carbon media, so selecting the correct tank size and flow rate is important—especially in hard-water areas like Lorida where mineral content can increase scale. A properly sized whole-house carbon system will sustain removal during varying household demands, from a single faucet to multiple showers. Like any carbon filter, it requires periodic media replacement to prevent breakthrough; Mr. Pure Water can size a system for your household, account for local water hardness, and arrange follow-up testing to verify results.
