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 the source. Because it readily volatilizes, it can affect both the water you use and the air in your home during showers, laundry and dishwashing. It usually can’t be seen, tasted or smelled, so testing is the reliable way to know whether it’s present. If test results show elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your Lake Placid house is the most straightforward way to reduce exposure throughout the home.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are often present at very low concentrations that can change over time, so clear-looking water doesn’t guarantee it’s free of contaminants. Many families in Highlands County choose to lower their household exposure for everyday activities like cooking, brushing teeth and bathing rather than treating a single faucet. A whole-house system delivers treated water to every bathroom, kitchen and appliance in your Lake Placid home, giving consistent protection across daily routines — which is particularly useful in our humid subtropical climate where indoor air and water use are high year-round.
For reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene, the most effective single whole-house option is a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter installed at the point of entry. GAC media adsorbs many VOCs as water passes through, treating the supply before it reaches showers, sinks and appliances. Installed properly for a Lake Placid residence, a GAC point-of-entry system helps limit both ingestion and the small amounts that can volatilize into the air during everyday water use.
Sizing and maintenance matter: a GAC tank must provide adequate contact time to remove VOCs, and it should be matched to your home’s flow rate and household demand. In inland Central Florida, where hard groundwater is common and mineral scale can affect plumbing, prefiltration helps protect the carbon bed from sediment and extends performance while reducing pressure loss. Like any carbon media, the GAC will need routine replacement or re-bedding as it becomes exhausted. Mr. Pure Water in Lake Placid can help select a whole-house carbon system sized for your property and water use to reliably target 1,1-dichloroethylene.
