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 reach the environment. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it may be present even if your water looks clear and tastes fine, so Skipper homeowners often only find it through a lab test or utility report. If you want to know what’s coming from every tap in your Florida home, treating water at the point where it enters the house gives broader protection than single-tap devices.
VOCs like 1,1,2-Trichloroethane are a concern when the same supply is used for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry day after day. This chemical has been used as a solvent and can persist in water without obvious signs, so regular testing is a smart step for Skipper residents—especially those on private wells that aren’t covered by municipal monitoring. If your water comes from the city system, adding whole-house filtration can give you extra reassurance beyond standard treatment.
The most effective single-filter choice for reducing 1,1,2-Trichloroethane in a home is a whole-house activated carbon filter. Systems using high-quality catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon remove many VOCs by adsorption, trapping contaminants as water flows through the media. When installed at the main water entry for your Skipper home, this solution treats water for drinking, showers, laundry and all fixtures at once—providing consistent coverage without relying on just an under-sink unit.
Effective VOC reduction depends on adequate contact time and enough carbon media, so selecting the correct tank size and flow rate is important for Skipper households. A properly sized whole-house carbon system maintains better removal during varying demand—from a single tap to multiple showers—and requires periodic media replacement to prevent breakthrough. Mr. Pure Water can size a system for your family’s usage in Skipper and arrange follow-up testing to confirm the system is performing as expected.
