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 contaminate supply sources. Because it readily volatilizes, it can move from water into the air in your home during showers, laundry, and dishwashing, so exposure isn’t limited to drinking water. Homeowners in June Park and across Brevard County can’t rely on taste, smell, or clarity to detect it — testing is the practical way to know if it’s present. If results show elevated levels, treating the water at the point it enters your home is an effective next step.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are often found at very low concentrations and can fluctuate over time, so clear-looking water doesn’t guarantee it’s absent. Many families around the Space Coast choose to reduce exposure for everyday activities — cooking, brushing teeth, bathing — rather than relying on a single treated faucet. A whole-house solution keeps treated water consistent at showers, sinks, and appliances, which is especially useful in June Park where hard water is common and can already stress fixtures and equipment.
To reduce 1,1-dichloroethylene, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically the most effective single-filter choice. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs from water as it passes through the carbon media. When installed at the point of entry, a GAC tank treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and household appliances — addressing both ingestion and the everyday volatilization that can occur during normal use.
Correct sizing matters because contact time in the carbon bed is critical for VOC removal; the system should match your home’s flow rate and typical water use. Carbon media will eventually exhaust and needs scheduled replacement or re-bedding to keep performance steady. Adding prefiltration helps protect the carbon from sediment — a useful step in June Park where hard water can contribute to mineral and particulate buildup — and helps prevent pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house GAC setup sized for your property and routine to focus on reliably lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene.
