Including filter system and high-performance 1,1-Dichloroethylene filter.
1,1-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter groundwater when certain industrial solvents or related chemicals are present nearby. Because it evaporates readily, it can leave the water and move into the air during showers, laundry cycles, or dishwashing—so it’s not only a drinking-water issue but an indoor-air one too. It often has no noticeable taste, smell, or appearance, which is why laboratory testing is usually the only reliable way to find it; when tests show elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your Malone home is a sensible next step.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene can be present at very low concentrations and change over time, so clear tap water in Malone doesn’t guarantee they’re absent. Many families in the area choose to limit exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, bathing—rather than relying on a single treated faucet. A whole-house system provides treated water throughout your Malone residence, delivering consistent protection to bathrooms, the kitchen, and all appliances used in daily routines.
To lower 1,1-dichloroethylene across an entire home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the most effective single-filter choice. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water flows through the carbon media, and when installed at the point of entry it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and appliances—helping reduce both ingestion and volatilization inside Malone homes.
Correct sizing of the GAC tank is important because adequate contact time improves VOC removal, so the system should match your Malone household’s flow rate and usage. Carbon media will eventually become exhausted and needs routine replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance; adding prefiltration helps protect the carbon from sediment, preserving efficiency and minimizing pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can work with you to choose a whole-house carbon solution tailored to your home and focused on reliably lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene.
