Including filter system and high-performance 1,1-Dichloroethylene filter.
1,1-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter water supplies when industrial solvents or related chemicals reach groundwater. Because it volatilizes easily, it can move from water into the air inside your home during showers, laundry, or dishwashing. It typically won’t change the taste, smell, or clarity of your water, so testing is the reliable way to detect it. If your results show elevated levels, addressing the issue where water enters your Conway home is a sensible next step.
VOCs like 1,1-dichloroethylene are often present at very low concentrations and can fluctuate, even when tap water looks and smells normal. Many families in the Orlando metro area prefer to lower exposure for everyday activities — cooking, brushing teeth, bathing — not just at a single faucet. A whole-house system delivers consistent treated water to kitchens, bathrooms, and appliances across your Conway property, which is especially useful in our humid subtropical climate where indoor ventilation and evaporative exposure can matter.
The most effective single-filter whole-house option for reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene is a granular activated carbon (GAC) system. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water passes through the carbon media. When installed at the point of entry, a carbon tank treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, or your washer and dishwasher, helping limit both ingestion and the volatilization of VOCs inside the home.
Sizing the GAC tank correctly is important because VOC removal depends on contact time; the system should be matched to your household flow rate and usage. Carbon media will become exhausted over time and needs routine replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance. In Conway and nearby Orange County neighborhoods where water is commonly hard, prefiltration can also protect the carbon bed from sediment and mineral scale that could reduce efficiency or raise pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can help recommend a whole-house carbon design that fits your home and focuses on lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene reliably.
