Including filter system and high-performance 1,1-Dichloroethylene filter.
1,1-dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter groundwater when industrial solvents or related chemicals get into the environment. Because it volatilizes easily, it can move from water into the air inside your home during showers, laundry and dishwashing, not just stay in the tap water you drink. It’s often undetectable by taste, smell or sight, so testing is the usual way to know whether it’s present. If your results show elevated levels, addressing the issue where water enters your Franjo home is the most straightforward way to reduce exposure indoors.
Even when water looks crystal clear, VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene can be present at low concentrations that change over time. Many Franjo families choose to lower exposure for everyday activities like cooking, brushing teeth and bathing rather than only treating a single faucet. A whole-house solution provides consistent, treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances throughout your home, which is especially useful in our humid subtropical Florida climate where indoor air can interact with treated water during routine use.
For treating 1,1-dichloroethylene, the most effective single whole-house option is a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter installed at the point of entry. GAC media adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through the carbon bed, so the system removes contaminants before water reaches showers, sinks and household appliances. Installing a GAC tank at your Franjo property addresses both ingestion risks and the everyday volatilization that can occur during bathing and laundry.
Sizing matters: a GAC tank needs adequate contact time to remove VOCs effectively, so the system should be matched to your home’s flow rate and water use. Carbon media becomes exhausted over time and requires scheduled replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance, and adding prefiltration helps keep sediment out of the carbon bed and reduces pressure issues. Mr. Pure Water can work with Franjo homeowners to pick a whole-house GAC setup tailored to the property and focused on lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene across every tap.
