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 readily vaporizes, the compound can affect indoor air during showers, laundry or dishwashing as well as your drinking water. It’s usually not detectable by taste, smell, or sight, so testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s in your supply. If you live in Collins Mill and test results show elevated levels, you’ll typically want to address the issue where water first comes into your house.
Even clear water can contain tiny amounts of VOCs like 1,1-Dichloroethylene, and concentrations may change over time. Many Collins Mill families choose to limit exposure for everyday activities — cooking, brushing teeth, bathing — rather than treating only a single faucet. A whole-house solution keeps treated water consistent across bathrooms, the kitchen, and appliances so the whole household benefits from the same protection.
To lower 1,1-Dichloroethylene throughout a home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the most effective single-filter choice. Activated carbon adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through the media, and when installed at the point of entry it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and appliances. For Collins Mill homeowners who want to reduce both ingestion and the chance of VOCs volatilizing during daily use, a properly installed GAC point-of-entry system is a practical option.
Sizing the GAC tank for your household matters because contact time directly affects VOC removal — the system should match your home’s flow rate and typical water use. Carbon media will eventually become exhausted, so periodic replacement or re-bedding is necessary to maintain performance. Adding prefiltration helps keep sediment out of the carbon bed, preserving efficiency and reducing pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can work with Collins Mill residents to select and install a whole-house carbon system tailored to their home and focused on lowering 1,1-Dichloroethylene reliably.
