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 reach aquifers. Because it readily volatilizes, it can affect both the water you use and the air in your home during showers, laundry, or dishwashing. It typically can’t be detected by sight, taste, or smell, so testing is the reliable way to know if it’s present. In Heathrow and elsewhere in the Orlando metro area that rely on mineral-rich groundwater from the Floridan Aquifer, homeowners often consider treating water at the point it enters the home when test results indicate elevated VOCs.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are measured in very small concentrations and can fluctuate over time, so clear water isn’t a guarantee of safety. Many families in Heathrow choose to reduce exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, bathing—not just at a single tap. A whole-house system delivers treated water across bathrooms, the kitchen, and to appliances, giving consistent protection for the entire household. That consistency can be especially comforting in our humid subtropical climate where indoor water use and steam may increase volatilization.
For treating 1,1-dichloroethylene, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the most effective single-filter choice. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water passes through the carbon media, and when installed as a point-of-entry unit it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and appliances. In Heathrow homes that draw from hard, mineral-rich aquifer sources, a properly configured GAC system can reduce the chance that VOCs will volatilize during everyday use.
Sizing and maintenance are important for GAC performance because adequate contact time is needed to remove VOCs, and the tank should match your home’s flow rate and usage. Carbon media becomes exhausted over time, so periodic replacement or re-bedding is necessary to maintain effectiveness. Adding prefiltration helps protect the carbon from sediment—particularly helpful in areas fed by the Floridan Aquifer where hardness and mineral content can contribute to scale—and reduces pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can work with Heathrow homeowners to choose and maintain a whole-house GAC setup tailored to their property and water use.
