Including filter system and high-performance 1,1,2-Trichloroethane filter.
1,1,2-Trichloroethane is a synthetic solvent that can reach groundwater after industrial releases, and because it’s a volatile organic compound (VOC) it may be present even when water appears clear and tastes normal. In Taft and elsewhere in Orange County, homeowners often only discover VOCs through a lab test or a utility report. If you want greater assurance about the water coming from every faucet in your Central Florida home, treating at the point where water enters the house is an effective step.
VOCs such as 1,1,2-Trichloroethane can be a worry for families who use the same supply for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry. This chemical has been used as a solvent and can persist in water without obvious signs, so testing is the only reliable way to know. Taft homeowners on private wells should schedule periodic testing since their water isn’t covered by municipal sampling, while those on city systems in the Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford metro may choose added filtration for extra peace of mind.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is frequently the best 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 flows through the media. Installed at the main entry to your Taft home, a properly designed carbon tank treats water for showers, sinks, laundry and drinking water all at once — a practical alternative to relying solely on small point-of-use units.
VOC removal depends on contact time and the amount of carbon media, so choosing the correct tank size and flow rate is important — especially in Central Florida homes where hard water can influence system sizing and plumbing. A well-sized whole-house carbon system holds up better when household demand changes, from one faucet to multiple showers and appliances running at once. Like all carbon filters it requires periodic media replacement to prevent breakthrough; Mr. Pure Water can size a system for your Taft property and arrange follow-up testing to verify performance.
