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. Because it readily volatilizes, it can impact both the water you use and the air in your home during showers, laundry and dishwashing. It often has no noticeable taste, smell or color, so testing is typically required to detect it. If your tests show elevated levels, addressing the problem at the point where water enters your McIntyre home is a practical next step.
VOCs like 1,1-dichloroethylene can be found at very low concentrations and may change over time even when water looks clear. Many McIntyre families prefer to reduce exposure from everyday activities such as cooking, brushing teeth and bathing, rather than treating a single faucet. Installing a whole-house solution keeps treated water consistent across bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances, giving you one system that protects the whole household routine.
The most effective single-filter option for lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter. Activated carbon adsorbs many VOCs, removing them as water passes through the carbon media. When installed as a point-of-entry system for a McIntyre residence, it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks and appliances, helping reduce both ingestion and the everyday volatilization that can occur in the home.
Proper sizing of a GAC tank is important because contact time with the carbon determines VOC removal efficiency, and the system should match your home’s flow rate and water use. Carbon media will become exhausted and needs periodic replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance, and using prefiltration can protect the carbon from sediment that shortens its life and raises pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can work with McIntyre homeowners to choose a whole-house carbon setup tailored to the home so it reliably focuses on lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene.
