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 reach groundwater. Because it volatilizes easily, it can move from water into the air during showers, laundry and dishwashing, so it affects more than just what’s in your glass. Homeowners in Garnier often can’t spot it by taste, smell or appearance, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present is through testing. If tests show elevated levels, treating water where it enters your house is a practical next step.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are typically measured in very small concentrations and can fluctuate over time, which means clear water isn’t always a clean bill of health. Many Garnier families choose to reduce exposure for everyday activities—cooking, teeth brushing and bathing—not just at a single faucet. A whole-house system delivers treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances, giving consistent protection throughout your Florida home and simplifying household water care with one solution.
A whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is often the most effective single-filter choice for reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene. GAC works by adsorbing VOCs as water flows through the carbon media, and when installed at the point of entry it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks and appliances—helping limit both ingestion and the volatilization of contaminants during everyday use in Garnier homes.
To get the best VOC removal, the GAC tank must be sized so water has enough contact time with the carbon; the system should match your home’s flow rate and typical water use. Carbon media will become exhausted over time, so regular replacement or re-bedding is important to maintain performance. Adding prefiltration can protect the carbon bed from sediment that would reduce efficiency and increase pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can help Garnier homeowners choose and size a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your needs and focused on lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene reliably.
