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 appears clear and tastes fine, so the only way to know for sure is testing or utility reporting. If you live in Palm Beach and want to feel confident about what’s coming from your taps—whether in the Town of Palm Beach, Midtown, or the Estate Section—treating water at the point it enters your home gives whole-house protection.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-trichloroethane can be worrying for households that use the same water to drink, cook, bathe and launder every day. This compound is often linked to historic or ongoing solvent use and can persist without clear signs. In Palm Beach County’s warm, humid climate, and with generally hard municipal water that can contribute to limescale buildup in plumbing, many homeowners choose periodic testing and, whether on a private well or city supply, an added layer of treatment for extra peace of mind.
The most effective single whole-house option for reducing 1,1,2-trichloroethane is an activated carbon filter. Catalytic or coconut shell carbon media remove many VOCs by adsorption as water flows through the tank, so when installed at your Palm Beach property’s point of entry the system treats water for drinking, showers, sinks and laundry all at once. For homeowners who prefer a single, comprehensive unit instead of multiple under-sink devices, a quality whole-house carbon tank is a practical solution.
Removal performance depends on contact time and carbon volume, so choosing the right tank size and flow rate is important for consistent VOC reduction across typical Palm Beach household demands—from morning showers to multiple fixtures running during busy hours. Like any carbon system, the media will need periodic replacement to prevent breakthrough. Mr. Pure Water can help size a whole-house carbon system for your home and arrange follow-up testing to confirm the results.
