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 industrial solvents or related chemicals reach groundwater. Because it evaporates readily, the compound can move from water into the air in your home during showers, laundry or dishwashing. It often has no noticeable taste, smell, or color, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present is through testing. If a lab report shows elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your Monet house is a sensible next step.
VOCs such as 1,1-Dichloroethylene may appear at very low concentrations and can change over time, so clear-looking water in Monet doesn’t guarantee absence. Many homeowners prefer to lower exposure for routine uses—cooking, brushing teeth and bathing—not just at a single faucet. A whole-house system provides consistent treated water throughout bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances, which is especially useful in Florida where local water quality and hardness can vary depending on whether a home is on municipal supply or a private well.
To reduce 1,1-Dichloroethylene, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is generally 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 household appliances. This helps limit both ingestion and the everyday volatilization of VOCs into indoor air in Monet homes.
Sizing the GAC tank correctly is important because contact time with the carbon strongly influences VOC removal; the unit should match your home’s flow rate and typical water use. Carbon media also requires regular replacement or re-bedding to keep performance up as the media becomes exhausted, and adding prefiltration helps prevent sediment from shortening carbon life or increasing pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can work with Monet homeowners to choose a whole-house carbon system sized for their plumbing and usage patterns to focus on lowering 1,1-Dichloroethylene.
