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 volatilizes, it can affect both the water you use and the air in your home during showers, laundry or dishwashing. It usually can’t be detected by taste, smell or sight, so testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s in your supply. If test results show elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your Fidelis house is a sensible next step.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are often present at very low concentrations that can change over time, so even clear water may warrant attention. Many Fidelis families choose to reduce exposure across daily activities like cooking, brushing teeth and bathing rather than at a single faucet. A whole-house solution delivers consistent treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances, offering one convenient way to protect everyone in the home.
The most effective single-filter option for reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene in a whole-house system is a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water passes through the carbon media. When installed at the point where water enters your Fidelis home, it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks and household appliances—helping limit both ingestion and the everyday volatilization that happens indoors.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because VOC removal depends on sufficient contact time; the system should match your home’s flow rate and typical water use. Carbon media will eventually become exhausted, so routine replacement or re-bedding is necessary to maintain performance. Adding prefiltration helps protect the carbon bed from sediment that can shorten its life and increase pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can guide Fidelis homeowners in choosing a whole-house GAC setup tailored to their property and focused on lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene reliably.
