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 certain industrial solvents or related chemicals reach groundwater. Because it evaporates readily, it may affect the air in your home during showers, laundry, or dishwashing as well as the water you use. It usually isn’t detectable by taste, smell, or sight, so testing is the reliable way to know if it’s present. If testing shows elevated levels, many Kern homeowners choose to address the issue where water first comes into the house.
VOCs like 1,1-dichloroethylene can be present at very low concentrations and may fluctuate, so clear water doesn’t guarantee absence. Families in Kern often want to limit exposure across everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, and bathing—not just at a single sink. A whole-house solution delivers treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen, and appliances, giving consistent protection for routine use throughout your home.
For treating 1,1-dichloroethylene, the most effective single-filter whole-house option is a granular activated carbon (GAC) system. Activated carbon adsorbs 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, faucets, and household appliances—helping reduce both ingestion and the potential for VOCs to volatilize into indoor air in Kern homes.
Correct sizing of the GAC tank is important because contact time with the carbon determines how well VOCs are removed; the system should match your home’s flow rate and water usage. Carbon media also requires periodic replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance as it becomes exhausted. Using prefiltration can protect the carbon from sediment and extend its effective life while minimizing pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water in Kern can assess your home and recommend a whole-house carbon setup sized and configured to focus on lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene reliably.
