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 industrial solvents or related chemicals contaminate groundwater. Because it readily evaporates, it can move from water into the air during showers, laundry or dishwashing, so it can affect both the water you use and the air inside your Dahlberg home. It’s typically not detectable by taste, smell, or sight, which is why laboratory testing is the reliable way to know if it’s present. If testing shows elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your house is a common next step.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are often found in very low concentrations and can fluctuate over time, so clear water at the tap doesn’t guarantee absence. Many Dahlberg families choose to lower exposure for everyday activities—cooking, tooth brushing, and bathing—not just for one faucet. A whole-house solution provides treated water throughout your home’s plumbing and appliances, offering consistent protection across bathrooms, the kitchen, and laundry areas in our humid subtropical climate.
To reduce 1,1-dichloroethylene, the most effective single-filter whole-house option is a granular activated carbon (GAC) system. GAC media adsorbs many VOCs as water passes through, removing contaminants before water reaches showers, sinks, and appliances. Installed at the point of entry, a carbon tank helps address both ingestion risks and the everyday volatilization that can occur during routine household use.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because contact time between water and carbon determines how well VOCs are removed; the system should match your home’s flow rate and water usage. Carbon media also becomes exhausted over time, so periodic replacement or re-bedding is necessary to maintain performance. Adding prefiltration can protect the carbon bed from sediment that would otherwise reduce efficiency and raise pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can help Dahlberg homeowners choose and maintain a whole-house carbon setup tailored to their property and focused on lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene reliably.
