1,1-Dichloroethylene in Malabar Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of 1,1-Dichloroethylene in the Water Supply of Malabar Florida Homes

1,1-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter groundwater when certain industrial solvents or related chemicals are present. Because it readily volatilizes, the compound can affect the air in your home during showers, laundry and dishwashing as well as the water you use. It’s often undetectable by taste, smell or appearance, so testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s in your supply. If a Malabar homeowner gets elevated results, treating water at the point where it enters the house is a practical next step.

VOCs such as 1,1-Dichloroethylene are typically found at very low concentrations and can fluctuate over time, so clear-looking water in your Space Coast home doesn’t guarantee absence. Many families want to reduce exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth and bathing—rather than relying on a single faucet solution. A whole-house treatment keeps water consistently treated for the entire home, supporting bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances throughout Malabar and neighboring Brevard County communities.
