Including filter system and high-performance 1,1-Dichloroethylene filter.
1,1-dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter drinking water when industrial solvents or related chemicals affect groundwater. Because it evaporates readily, it can move from water into the air during showers, dishwashing, and laundry, so indoor exposure isn’t limited to what you drink. It usually has no noticeable taste, smell, or color, which means testing is the reliable way to know whether it’s present. If test results for an Alford home show elevated levels, treating water at the point it enters the house is a sensible next step.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are often measured in very small concentrations and can fluctuate over time even when water appears clear. Many families in Alford choose to lower exposure for everyday activities—cooking, bathing, and brushing teeth—rather than addressing only a single tap. A whole-house solution delivers consistent treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen, and appliances, giving one convenient way to protect routine household use throughout your home.
For homes in Alford, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the most effective single-filter choice for reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene. GAC media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds as water flows through the carbon, and when installed as a point-of-entry system it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and appliances. This helps address both ingestion risks and the everyday volatilization that can occur during bathing or cooking.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because sufficient contact time with the carbon is key to removing VOCs, and the system must match your home’s flow rate and water use. Carbon beds also need periodic re-bedding or replacement to maintain performance as the media becomes exhausted, and adding prefiltration helps keep sediment from fouling the carbon and increasing pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can work with Alford homeowners to choose a whole-house carbon setup sized to their household and aimed at lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene effectively.
