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 vaporizes easily, it can release into indoor air during showers, laundry and dishwashing as well as remain in the water you use. You usually can’t see, taste, or smell it, so testing is the reliable way to know if it’s present. If lab results show elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your Lindgren home is a sensible next step.
VOCs like 1,1-dichloroethylene can be present at very low concentrations and may fluctuate over time even when the water looks clear. Many Lindgren families want to limit exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, bathing—not just at a single faucet. A whole-house solution delivers treated water across bathrooms, the kitchen and to appliances, giving consistent protection throughout your humid subtropical Florida home.
A whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is the most effective single-filter choice for reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water flows through the carbon media. Installed as a point-of-entry system, it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks and household appliances, helping to reduce both ingestion and the VOCs that can volatilize during everyday use in Lindgren.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because contact time drives VOC removal, so the system should match your home’s flow rate and water use. Carbon media will become exhausted over time and needs periodic replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance. Adding prefiltration helps protect the carbon bed from sediment and prevent pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Lindgren home and recommend a whole-house carbon setup sized to reliably reduce 1,1-dichloroethylene for your household.
