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 certain industrial solvents or related chemicals reach groundwater. Because it evaporates readily, it can move from water into the air inside your home during showers, laundry or dishwashing. It usually can’t be seen, tasted, or smelled, so testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s present; when results are elevated, treating the water where it enters your Marco Island house is a sensible next step.
VOCs like 1,1-dichloroethylene can be present at very low concentrations that fluctuate over time, so clear-looking water from your taps doesn’t guarantee absence. Many Marco Island families choose to reduce exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, and bathing—rather than limit treatment to a single faucet. A whole-house system delivers consistent treated water across bathrooms, the kitchen, and appliances, which is especially useful in our coastal Collier County homes where hard water and storm events can also affect plumbing and fixtures.
To reduce 1,1-dichloroethylene throughout the home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is the most effective single-filter choice. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water flows through the carbon media, removing contaminants before they reach showers, sinks, and appliances. Installed as a point-of-entry system on Marco Island properties, it helps address both ingestion and the everyday volatilization that can occur during bathing and other household uses.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because sufficient contact time with the carbon is needed for VOC removal, and the system should match your home’s flow rate and water demand. Carbon media must be replaced or re-bedded periodically to maintain performance, and adding prefiltration helps keep sediment—common in hard coastal water—from fouling the carbon and increasing pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Marco Island property and recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your needs and local water conditions.
