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 contaminate surrounding areas. Because it readily volatilizes, this contaminant can move from water into the air inside your home during showers, laundry, and dishwashing. It often gives no clear taste, smell, or color to drinking water, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present is through testing. If results show elevated levels, many Golden Lakes homeowners choose to address the issue where water first comes into the house.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene can be detected at very low concentrations and may fluctuate over time even when water appears clear. For families in Golden Lakes and the wider Palm Beach County area, limiting exposure during everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, bathing—can be a priority. A whole-house solution delivers treated water to every bathroom, the kitchen, and connected appliances, giving consistent protection across the home rather than treating a single faucet.
To reduce 1,1-dichloroethylene, the most effective single whole-house option is a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter. GAC works by adsorbing many volatile organic compounds as water flows through the carbon media. Installed at the point of entry, a GAC tank treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and household appliances—helping to address both ingestion risks and VOCs that could volatilize into indoor air in humid subtropical climates like ours.
Correct sizing of a GAC tank is important because sufficient contact time between water and carbon improves VOC removal, and the system should match your home’s flow rate and usage. In Palm Beach County, where water is often hard and can contribute to scale, pairing the carbon with appropriate prefiltration helps keep sediment and mineral buildup from shortening carbon life or increasing pressure loss. Like all carbon media, the GAC will need periodic replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance—Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house GAC setup tailored to Golden Lakes homes and their typical water conditions.
