1,1-Dichloroethylene in Frink Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of 1,1-Dichloroethylene in the Water Supply of Frink Florida Homes

1,1-dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter drinking water when industrial solvents or related chemicals reach groundwater. Because it readily evaporates, the contaminant can move from water into the air during showers, laundry and dishwashing, so it can affect both inhalation and ingestion. It usually has no noticeable taste, smell or color, meaning the only reliable way to know if it’s present is testing — and if results are elevated, treating the water where it enters your Frink home is a sensible next step.

VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are often measured at very low concentrations and can fluctuate, so clear-looking water doesn’t guarantee it’s absent. Many Frink families choose to limit exposure during everyday activities — cooking, brushing teeth and bathing — rather than treating a single tap. A whole-house system provides treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen and laundry, giving consistent protection throughout your home and simplifying maintenance compared with multiple point-of-use units.
