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 affect groundwater. Because it evaporates readily, it can move from water into the air during everyday activities like showering, doing laundry, or running the dishwasher. It usually can’t be seen, smelled, or tasted, so testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s present. If testing shows elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your Footman home is a practical next step to reduce household exposure.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are often found at very low concentrations that can change over time, and clear water isn’t a guarantee of safety. Many Footman families choose to lower exposure for everyday uses—cooking, brushing teeth, bathing—not just at one sink. A whole-house system delivers treated water to showers, kitchens, and appliances throughout your home, giving consistent protection across routines in our humid subtropical Florida climate where indoor-outdoor living keeps water use steady year-round.
The most effective single-filter whole-house option for reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene is a granular activated carbon (GAC) system. GAC adsorbs many VOCs as water passes through the carbon media, removing contaminants before they reach your taps and household appliances. Installed as a point-of-entry unit for Footman homes, this filter helps limit both ingestion and the volatilization of VOCs during showers and other daily uses.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because adequate contact time helps the carbon remove VOCs effectively, and the system must match your household flow rate and usage. Carbon media will eventually need replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance, and adding prefiltration helps protect the carbon from sediment that could shorten its life and increase pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can work with Footman homeowners to choose a whole-house carbon setup that fits your plumbing and focuses on reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene reliably.
