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 evaporates readily, it can move from water into the air during everyday activities like showering, laundry, and dishwashing, so it’s not just a concern for what you drink. Homeowners usually can’t detect it by sight, smell, or taste, which is why testing is the reliable way to know if it’s present. If tests show elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your Hypoluxo home is an effective next step.
VOCs such as 1,1-Dichloroethylene are often present in very small concentrations and can fluctuate over time, even when water looks clear. Many Palm Beach County households choose to reduce exposure for all routine uses—cooking, brushing teeth, bathing and appliance use—not just for a single faucet. A whole-house system delivers treated water across bathrooms, the kitchen, and to appliances, giving you consistent protection throughout your Hypoluxo property and helping limit volatilization in your humid, warm climate.
For reducing 1,1-Dichloroethylene, the most effective single whole-house option is a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter. GAC media adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through the tank, removing contaminants before water reaches showers, sinks, and household appliances. Installed at the point of entry, this approach treats every tap in your Hypoluxo home and helps address both ingestion and the vapors that can escape during everyday use.
Sizing the GAC tank correctly is important because adequate contact time with the carbon is key to removing VOCs, and the system should match your household flow rate and water use. In hard water areas like Palm Beach County, prefiltration helps keep sediment and scale from shortening media life or increasing pressure loss. Carbon media also requires routine replacement or re-bedding as it becomes exhausted. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Hypoluxo home and recommend a whole-house GAC setup tailored to lower 1,1-Dichloroethylene while handling local water conditions.
