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 looks and tastes normal, so Surf homeowners often only discover it through testing or a utility notice. If you want greater certainty about the water coming into your Surf home, treating at the point of entry provides protection for every tap.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-trichloroethane can be concerning at low concentrations because families use the same water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry. This compound is commonly linked to solvent use and can remain in sources without obvious signs. If your Surf residence is on a private well, routine testing is especially important since there’s no municipal oversight; if you receive city water, adding a whole-house filter gives extra assurance beyond standard treatment.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is often the most effective single-filter choice for reducing 1,1,2-trichloroethane. Systems that use high-quality catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon remove many VOCs by adsorption as water flows through the media. Installed at the main water inlet in your Surf home, this solution treats water for showers, sinks, laundry and drinking all at once—offering broader coverage than an under-sink unit.
Because VOC removal depends on contact time and the amount of carbon media, selecting the correct tank size and flow rate matters for sustained performance. A properly sized whole-house carbon system in Surf will handle changes in demand—from a single faucet to multiple showers—and reduce the chance of breakthrough. Like all carbon filters, it requires periodic media replacement, and Mr. Pure Water can help size, install, and verify results with follow-up testing when desired.
