Including filter system and high-performance 1,1-Dichloroethylene filter.
1,1-dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter groundwater when certain industrial solvents or related chemicals contaminate the source. Because it volatilizes easily, it can affect both the water you use and the air in your home during showers, laundry, and dishwashing. It’s often undetectable by taste, smell, or sight, so testing is usually required to know if it’s present. If testing indicates elevated levels, treating the water at the point where it enters your Astor Farms home is a sensible next step.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are measured at very low concentrations and can fluctuate over time, so clear-looking water isn’t a guarantee of safety. Many families in Astor Farms choose to reduce exposure for everyday tasks—cooking, brushing teeth, bathing—not just at a single tap. A whole-house solution delivers consistent treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen, and appliances across your home, which is especially useful in Central Florida communities that rely on groundwater from the Floridan aquifer.
For lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene in household water, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is widely regarded as the most effective single-filter choice. GAC works by adsorbing many volatile organic compounds as water passes through the carbon media. Installed as a point-of-entry system, it treats supply water before it reaches showers, sinks, and appliances—helping limit both ingestion and volatilization inside Astor Farms homes.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because contact time with the carbon affects VOC removal, and the system should match your household flow rate and water use. Carbon media will eventually become exhausted, so routine replacement or re-bedding is necessary to maintain performance. Adding prefiltration can protect the carbon bed from sediment—useful in humid subtropical Central Florida where groundwater mineral content can contribute to scaling—and help avoid pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can work with Astor Farms homeowners to choose a whole-house carbon system tailored to their property and focused on reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene.
