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 contaminate nearby sources. Because it evaporates readily, it can affect the air in your home during showers, laundry, and dishwashing as well as the water you use. Most homeowners won’t detect it by taste, smell, or sight, so testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s present. If testing shows elevated levels, treating at the point where water enters your Ensley home is a sensible next step.
VOCs like 1,1-dichloroethylene are often measured at very low concentrations that can change over time, so clear-looking water doesn’t guarantee absence. Many families in Ensley choose to reduce exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, bathing—rather than limiting treatment to a single faucet. A whole-house system delivers treated water to every bathroom, the kitchen, and household appliances, providing consistent protection across your home’s daily routines.
The most effective single-filter option for lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene in household water is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system. GAC media adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through the carbon, reducing contaminants before they reach showers, taps, and appliances. Installed at the point of entry for an Ensley home, a GAC tank helps address both ingestion and the volatilization that can occur during common household uses.
Sizing the GAC tank correctly is important because adequate contact time with the carbon improves VOC removal, and the system should match your home’s flow rate and daily water use. Like all carbon media, it will need periodic replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance as the carbon becomes exhausted. Adding prefiltration can protect the carbon bed from sediment that would otherwise reduce effectiveness and increase pressure drop. Mr. Pure Water can work with Ensley homeowners to choose a whole-house GAC setup tailored to the house and focused on reliably lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene.
