Including filter system and high-performance 1,1,2-Trichloroethane filter.
1,1,2-Trichloroethane is an industrial solvent that can reach groundwater when chemicals are released into the environment. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it may be present even if your water looks clear and tastes normal, so Ponce de Leon homeowners often only discover it through testing or a utility notice. If you want to be sure about what’s coming from every tap in your Florida home, treating water at the point where it enters the house is an effective way to protect drinking, cooking, and bathing water.
VOCs like 1,1,2-Trichloroethane can worry families who use the same water for drinking, food preparation, and personal care every day. This solvent has been used historically in industrial applications and can linger in water sources without obvious signs. If your Ponce de Leon property uses a private well, regular testing is especially important because private systems don’t receive routine municipal monitoring. For homes on public supply, adding a whole-house filter gives an extra layer of protection beyond standard treatment.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is often the single most effective option for reducing 1,1,2-Trichloroethane. Quality catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon works by adsorbing VOCs as water flows through the media. Installed at the main water line entering your Ponce de Leon home, this solution treats water for drinking, showers, laundry, and all faucets at once—providing consistent reduction without relying on a small point-of-use unit.
Carbon filter performance depends on sufficient contact time and media volume, so choosing the right tank size and flow rate is important for reliable VOC removal. A properly sized whole-house carbon system will better handle changing water demands in a Ponce de Leon household, from a single faucet to multiple simultaneous showers. Like all carbon systems, it requires periodic media replacement to prevent breakthrough; Mr. Pure Water can help size a system for your usage and arrange follow-up testing to confirm the results.
