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 off-gasses readily, the compound can move from water into the air during showers, laundry, or dishwashing — not just remain in your glass. It often has no noticeable taste, smell, or color, so lab testing is the reliable way to know whether it’s present. If testing shows elevated levels, treating the water where it comes into your Liberty Point house is a practical next step.
VOCs such as 1,1-Dichloroethylene are measured in very small concentrations and can fluctuate, so clear-looking water doesn’t guarantee it’s free of contaminants. Many Liberty Point families prefer a solution that protects everyday activities — cooking, brushing teeth, bathing — throughout the whole house rather than only at one faucet. A whole-house system provides consistent treatment to bathrooms, the kitchen, and appliances, which is especially useful in our humid subtropical Florida climate where outdoor events like heavy seasonal rainfall can affect source-water conditions.
For a single whole-house option that targets 1,1-Dichloroethylene, a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the best choice. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water passes through the carbon media, and when installed as a point-of-entry system it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and household appliances. This helps reduce both ingestion exposure and the chance the contaminant will volatilize into indoor air during everyday use.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because contact time determines how well VOCs are removed; the system should match your Liberty Point home’s flow rate and water-use patterns. Carbon media will eventually become exhausted and needs scheduled replacement or re-bedding to keep performance steady. Adding prefiltration protects the carbon bed from sediment that can shorten its life and increase pressure drop. Mr. Pure Water can help you choose a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your residence and water needs to lower 1,1-Dichloroethylene reliably.
