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 are present. Because it vaporizes readily, VOCs like this one can move from water into the air inside your home during showers, laundry, or dishwashing. It usually can’t be seen, tasted, or smelled, so testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s in your supply. If a test shows elevated levels, addressing the water where it first comes into your Atlantis home is the practical next step.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are measured in very small concentrations and can change over time, so clear-looking water isn’t proof of safety. Many Palm Beach County families prefer to lower exposure for everyday uses—cooking, brushing teeth, and bathing—rather than treating just one faucet. A whole-house solution gives consistent treatment across bathrooms, kitchen, and appliances throughout the City of Atlantis and nearby neighborhoods, which is often the simplest way to protect routine water use in a single system.
To reduce 1,1-dichloroethylene, the most effective single-filter whole-house option is a granular activated carbon (GAC) system. Activated carbon adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through the carbon media; when installed as a point-of-entry unit it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and household appliances. For Atlantis homes—where municipal water in Palm Beach County is commonly hard and household use is year-round—placing a GAC filter at the main line helps address both ingestion and everyday volatilization at every tap.
Sizing matters for GAC tanks because removal depends on contact time, so the system should be matched to your home’s flow rate and water usage patterns. Carbon media will eventually become exhausted and needs routine replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance. Adding prefiltration helps protect the carbon bed from sediment and the mineral scaling common with hard Palm Beach County water, which can otherwise reduce efficiency and increase pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your Atlantis property and recommend a whole-house GAC setup sized and configured to focus on lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene reliably.
