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 sources. Because it readily evaporates, any contaminated water can release vapors into the air inside your home during showers, laundry or dishwashing. It usually can’t be detected by taste, smell or sight, so testing is the usual way to know whether it’s present. If test results for an Auburn home show elevated levels, treating the water where it enters the house is a practical next step.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are often present at very low concentrations and can fluctuate over time, so clear-looking water isn’t a reliable indicator. Many Auburn families choose to limit exposure for everyday activities like cooking, bathing and brushing teeth by treating water for the whole house rather than just one faucet. A point-of-entry system provides consistent treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen and household appliances so you don’t have to manage multiple filters for different uses.
The most effective single-filter option for reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene at the point of entry is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water passes through the carbon media, so installed before plumbing branches it protects showers, sinks and appliances alike. For Auburn homeowners who want to reduce both ingestion and vapor release around the house, a GAC point-of-entry filter is the common choice.
Proper sizing of the GAC tank is important because sufficient contact time with the carbon improves VOC removal; the system should match your home’s flow rate and typical water use. Carbon media also needs scheduled replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance as it becomes exhausted, and adding a prefilter helps keep sediment out of the carbon bed and prevents pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your Auburn home’s needs and recommend a whole-house carbon setup sized to lower 1,1-dichloroethylene reliably.
