Including filter system and high-performance 1,1-Dichloroethylene filter.
1,1-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can reach drinking water when certain industrial solvents or related chemicals enter groundwater. Because it readily evaporates, 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 the usual way to know if it’s present. If a lab report shows elevated levels, homeowners in Callaway often choose to address the issue where the water first comes into the house.
Even crystal-clear water can contain VOCs like 1,1-Dichloroethylene at trace concentrations that change over time. Many families prefer reducing exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth and bathing—rather than treating only one faucet. A whole-house solution treats water for the entire home, so every shower, sink and appliance in your Callaway residence receives the same treated water, simplifying maintenance and daily use.
The most effective single-filter option for lowering 1,1-Dichloroethylene in household water is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water flows through the carbon media. Installed at the point of entry, a GAC tank treats water before it reaches showers, kitchen taps and appliances—helping reduce both ingestion and volatilization inside your Callaway home.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because adequate contact time between water and carbon determines VOC removal. The carbon media will require periodic replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance as it becomes exhausted. Adding prefiltration protects the carbon bed from sediment and prevents pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can help Callaway homeowners choose a whole-house GAC system sized to their flow rates and household needs to reliably lower 1,1-Dichloroethylene.
