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 reach aquifers. Because it vaporizes readily, contamination in your plumbing can affect the air in bathrooms and laundry areas as well as the water you use for drinking and cooking. It’s often undetectable by taste, smell, or sight, so testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s present. If testing shows elevated levels, addressing the issue at the point where water enters your Montverde home is usually the most effective step.
VOCs such as 1,1-Dichloroethylene are measured at very low concentrations and can change over time, so clear-looking water isn’t a guarantee of safety. Many Montverde families choose to limit exposure during everyday activities—cooking, teeth brushing, bathing—rather than treating a single tap. A whole-house system provides treated water across showers, sinks, and appliances, giving consistent protection for the whole household in our humid subtropical climate and the hard, mineral-rich groundwater common in Lake County.
For whole-home reduction of 1,1-Dichloroethylene, a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter installed at the point of entry is typically the most effective single-filter choice. GAC media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds as water flows through the carbon, so the water reaching showers, faucets, and appliances has reduced VOC content. In Montverde households this point-of-entry setup helps limit both ingestion and the volatilization that happens during showering and other daily uses.
Sizing the GAC tank correctly is important because contact time with the carbon determines how well VOCs are removed, and the system must match your home’s peak flow and usage. Carbon media will become exhausted and requires periodic replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance; adding a prefilter also protects the carbon from sediment common in hard Lake County groundwater and helps prevent pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house GAC configuration tailored to homes in Montverde to reliably lower 1,1-Dichloroethylene.
