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 affect a water source. Because it volatilizes readily, it can move from water into the air inside your home during showers, laundry or dishwashing. It typically doesn’t change how water looks, smells, or tastes, so testing is often required to find it. If test results show elevated levels, it’s wise for Garcon Point homeowners to consider treatment at the point where water comes into the house.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are measured in very small concentrations and can fluctuate, so clear-looking water isn’t always a guarantee of safety. Many families in Garcon Point choose to lower exposure for everyday uses — cooking, brushing teeth, bathing — rather than treating a single faucet. A whole-house solution helps ensure treated water flows to bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances alike, giving consistent protection across the home.
The most effective single-filter whole-house option for reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene is a granular activated carbon (GAC) point-of-entry system. GAC media adsorbs many VOCs as water passes through, removing contaminants before water reaches your taps and showers. Installed where water enters your Garcon Point home, a GAC tank addresses both ingestion risks and the everyday volatilization that happens during showering and other household uses.
Sizing the GAC tank correctly is important because adequate contact time between water and carbon is key to VOC removal, and the system should match your home’s flow rate and usage. Carbon media will eventually become exhausted, so regular replacement or re-bedding is necessary to maintain performance. Using prefiltration ahead of the carbon can protect the bed from sediment that would reduce efficiency and raise pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Garcon Point property, recommend the right whole-house carbon setup, and help ensure it focuses on lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene reliably.
