Including filter system and high-performance 1,1,2-Trichloroethane filter.
1,1,2-trichloroethane is a man-made 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 appears clear and tastes normal, so homeowners often only discover it through a lab test or a utility water quality report. If you live in Westlake or elsewhere in Palm Beach County and want greater confidence in the water coming from every tap, treating the water at the point of entry is an effective step.
Small concentrations of VOCs like 1,1,2-trichloroethane can be worrying for families who use the same water for drinking, cooking, bathing and cleaning each day. This compound has been used as a solvent and can linger in water sources without obvious signs. For Westlake residents on a private well, regular testing is especially important since municipal monitoring may not cover your home; if you’re on 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. High-quality catalytic or coconut shell activated carbon works by adsorbing VOCs as water flows through the media. Installed at the main water entry, this type of system treats water for drinking, showers, laundry and all faucets across your Westlake home—providing consistent reduction without relying solely on an under-sink unit.
Because VOC removal depends on contact time and media volume, choosing the right carbon tank size and flow rate matters—especially in Palm Beach County where hard water and typical household demand can affect performance. A properly sized whole-house carbon system handles varying use, from a single faucet to multiple showers, and will require periodic media replacement to prevent breakthrough. Mr. Pure Water can help Westlake homeowners select the correct system for their household and arrange follow-up testing to confirm results.
