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 evaporates readily, it can move from water into the air inside your home during showers, laundry, and dishwashing. It’s not something you can reliably detect by taste, smell, or sight, so testing is the usual way to know if it’s present. If testing shows elevated levels, many Athena homeowners choose to address the issue where water first enters the house.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene can be measured in very small amounts and may fluctuate over time, so clear-looking water isn’t proof of absence. Many families in Athena prefer reducing exposure for everyday uses like cooking, brushing teeth, and bathing rather than treating a single faucet. A whole-house system delivers treated water consistently to bathrooms, the kitchen, and appliances—an appealing single-solution approach for households across the community.
For lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically the most effective single-filter choice. GAC media adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through the carbon bed, and when installed at the point of entry it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and appliances. That means reduced potential for ingestion and for VOCs to volatilize into indoor air during everyday use in Athena homes.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because contact time with the carbon affects VOC removal; the system should match your home’s flow rate and typical water use. Carbon media also requires periodic replacement or re-bedding so performance doesn’t decline as it becomes exhausted, and adding prefiltration helps protect the carbon from sediment that can shorten its life and cause pressure issues. Mr. Pure Water can work with Athena homeowners to choose a whole-house carbon setup that fits your property and focuses on lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene effectively.
