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 certain industrial solvents or related chemicals reach groundwater. Because it easily evaporates, it can affect the water you drink as well as the air in your home during showers, laundry, and dishwashing. It usually doesn’t change taste, smell, or appearance, so homeowners in Bon Ami may need testing to know whether it’s present. If test results show elevated levels, treating the water where it enters the house is a practical next step.
VOCs like 1,1-dichloroethylene are often detected in very small concentrations that can fluctuate, so clear water isn’t always a reliable indicator of safety. Many Bon Ami families prefer to lower exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, bathing—not just at a single faucet. A whole-house solution delivers treated water consistently to bathrooms, the kitchen, and appliances, making it easier to protect everyone in the household with one system.
The most effective single-filter option for reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water flows through the carbon media, and when installed at the point of entry it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and appliances. That helps address both ingestion risks and the everyday volatilization that can occur during routine use in Bon Ami homes.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because VOC removal depends on adequate contact time, so the system should match your home’s flow rate and usage patterns. Carbon media also becomes exhausted over time, so periodic replacement or re-bedding is required to maintain performance. Adding a prefilter can protect the carbon from sediment that would otherwise reduce efficiency and raise pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can work with Bon Ami homeowners to choose a whole-house carbon setup tailored to their property and focused on reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene reliably.
