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 seep into the environment. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it may be present even if your water looks and tastes normal, so many Noma homeowners only discover it through testing or utility notices. If you want reliable protection at every faucet, treating water where it enters your house gives the most consistent coverage.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-Trichloroethane can be worrying for families who use the same water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry. This compound is often tied to historic or current solvent use and can persist without obvious signs. If your Noma property uses a private well, regular testing is especially important because there isn’t routine municipal monitoring for individual wells; if you’re on a public system, adding whole-house filtration can offer extra reassurance beyond standard treatment.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is generally the single most effective home option for reducing 1,1,2-Trichloroethane. Systems using high-quality catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon capture many VOCs by adsorption as water flows through the media. Installed at the main water line, this solution treats water used for drinking, showers, laundry and all taps across your Noma home — a practical alternative to treating individual fixtures.
Reduction performance hinges on contact time and the amount of carbon in the tank, so choosing the correct tank size and flow rate is important for sustained VOC removal. A properly sized whole-house carbon system keeps up with varying household demand—from a single sink to multiple simultaneous showers—while slowing media breakthrough. Like all carbon filters, it requires periodic media replacement to remain effective; Mr. Pure Water can help size a system for your Noma household and arrange follow-up testing to verify results.
