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 get into the environment. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it may be present even when water looks and tastes normal, so Scanlon homeowners often only discover it through testing or a utility notice. If you want the reassurance of treated water at every faucet, a point-of-entry solution can help protect your household.
Low concentrations of VOCs such as 1,1,2-Trichloroethane can be worrying for families who use the same water for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry every day. This contaminant is linked to solvent use and can persist in water without clear signs. If your Scanlon property uses a private well, regular testing is particularly important because well water isn’t covered by municipal monitoring; if you receive city water, 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. Systems using high-quality catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon remove many VOCs by adsorption as water flows through the media. Installed at the main water entry to your Scanlon home, this type of tank treats water for showers, drinking, laundry and all sinks at once—offering consistent reduction without relying on a small under-sink unit.
Effective VOC removal depends on contact time and the volume of carbon media, so choosing the correct tank size and flow rate is important for Scanlon households. A properly sized whole-house carbon system maintains stronger removal during changing demand—whether one faucet is running or multiple showers are on—and will require periodic media replacement to prevent breakthrough. Mr. Pure Water can help pick the right system for your household needs and arrange follow-up testing to confirm performance.
