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 affect nearby sources. Because it readily evaporates, it can move from water into the air during showers, laundry or dishwashing — so it’s not only about what you drink. You usually can’t see, taste, or smell it, which makes testing the only reliable way to know whether it’s present. If testing shows elevated levels, treating the water at the point it enters your Childs home is a practical step to reduce household exposure.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are often found at very low concentrations and can change over time, so clear water is not proof of safety. Many Putnam County homeowners choose whole-house treatment to lower exposure during everyday activities like cooking, bathing, and brushing teeth rather than focusing on a single faucet. A point-of-entry system gives consistent treated water to kitchens, bathrooms and appliances throughout your home, which can be especially helpful for families who want one reliable solution for routine use.
For removing 1,1-dichloroethylene, the most effective single whole-house option is a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter. GAC media adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through the tank, so when it’s installed at the point of entry it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and appliances and helps reduce volatilization into the home’s air. In Childs — where homes draw from groundwater and river-adjacent systems and experience moderate hardness — a GAC point-of-entry system is a commonly recommended choice.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because longer contact time improves VOC removal, and the system must meet your home’s flow needs in Childs. Carbon media will eventually become exhausted, so plan for regular replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance. Adding a sediment prefilter helps protect the carbon from particulate that can shorten its life and cause pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can help recommend a whole-house carbon setup matched to your household demand and local conditions around the St. Johns River and Palatka area to focus on lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene effectively.
