1,1-Dichloroethylene in Manalapan Florida Water

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

1,1-dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter drinking water when industrial solvents or related chemicals reach groundwater. Because it readily volatilizes, the compound can affect indoor air during showers, laundry and dishwashing as well as the water you drink. It often has no obvious taste, smell or appearance, so testing is usually the only reliable way to know whether it’s present. If testing shows elevated levels, many Manalapan homeowners choose to address the issue where water first comes into the house.

VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are typically found at very low concentrations that can change over time, so clear-looking water isn’t proof of safety. Families in Manalapan often want protection for everyday uses—cooking, brushing teeth and bathing—not just a single tap. A whole-house system delivers treated water throughout the home, helping keep faucets, showers and appliances supplied with the same filtered water, which is useful in our humid subtropical climate and for homes dealing with hard water in the Bradenton–Sarasota–Venice area.
