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 readily vaporizes, it can affect both the water itself and the air in your home during showers, laundry, and dishwashing. It usually can’t be detected by taste, smell, or appearance, so testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s present. If a test shows elevated levels, many Munson homeowners choose to address it where water first comes into the house.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are often measured at very low concentrations and can fluctuate, even when water looks clear. For households in Munson who want to reduce exposure during everyday activities like cooking, brushing teeth, and bathing, a whole-house solution keeps treated water consistent throughout the home. That single approach protects all taps and appliances rather than relying on point filters at individual faucets.
To reduce 1,1-dichloroethylene, the most effective single-filter option for whole-house use is a granular activated carbon (GAC) system. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water flows through the carbon media. When installed as a point-of-entry system for a Munson home, it treats incoming water before it reaches showers, sinks, and appliances, helping limit both ingestion and the vapors that can be released during household use.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because VOC removal relies on sufficient contact time, so the system should match your home’s flow rate and routine water use. Carbon media will eventually become exhausted and needs regular replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance. Using prefiltration helps protect the carbon bed from sediment that can shorten its life or increase pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can work with Munson homeowners to choose a whole-house carbon setup sized for their house and focused on lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene effectively.
