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 normal, so the only way to know is through testing or water-quality reports. In Maitland and the greater Orlando area, many homeowners prefer point-of-entry treatment so every faucet and appliance receives the same protection and you can feel confident about the water you use for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-Trichloroethane are concerning because families use the same water for many daily activities, from drinking to showering. The compound is commonly linked to industrial solvent use and can persist in sources without obvious signs. If your property in Maitland is on a private well, regular testing is especially important since there isn’t routine municipal monitoring; even on city water, adding a whole-house filter can give extra reassurance beyond standard treatment in our humid subtropical climate where hard water from the Floridan aquifer can already challenge plumbing and appliances.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is often the single most effective option for reducing 1,1,2-Trichloroethane. Systems using high-quality catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon remove many VOCs by adsorption as water flows through the media. When installed at the point where water enters your Maitland home, the carbon tank treats water for drinking, showers, laundry and all taps, offering broad protection that’s more practical for whole-home coverage than a small under-sink unit.
VOC removal relies on sufficient contact time and adequate media volume, so choosing the right carbon tank size and flow rate matters for consistent performance. A properly sized whole-house carbon system will maintain better reduction during varying demand—whether one faucet is running or multiple showers in a Lake Maitland Terrace or Dommerich Estates home are on at once. Like all carbon filters, media must be replaced periodically to prevent breakthrough; Mr. Pure Water will size a system for your household, recommend replacement intervals, and can confirm results with follow-up testing if you’d like.
