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 your water looks clear and tastes fine, so many Pine Hills homeowners only find it through testing or a utility notice. If you want reliable protection for every tap in your Orange County home—whether you’re near Barnett Park or closer to the Tibet-Butler Preserve—point-of-entry treatment lets you address contaminants before they reach sinks, showers, and appliances.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-Trichloroethane are a concern because families use the same water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry day after day. The compound is often linked to historic solvent use and can linger in water without obvious warning signs. If your Pine Hills home is on a private well, testing on a schedule is particularly important since there’s no municipal monitoring for your property; if you get city water from the Orlando metro system, adding a home filtration layer gives extra peace of mind beyond standard treatment.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is typically the most effective single-filter option for reducing 1,1,2-Trichloroethane. Systems that use high-quality catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon remove many VOCs by adsorption as water passes through the media. Installed at the main water entry to serve the entire house, this approach treats drinking water, showers, laundry, and other uses at once—especially helpful in hard, mineral-rich Pine Hills water that can also contribute to scale on fixtures and appliances.
Removal performance depends on contact time and the amount of carbon media, so choosing the right tank size and flow rate is important for effective VOC reduction in Pine Hills homes. A properly sized whole-house carbon system keeps removal consistent as household demand changes—from a single faucet to multiple showers—and requires periodic media replacement to prevent breakthrough. Mr. Pure Water can recommend a system sized for your Orange County household and help validate results with follow-up testing when desired.
