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 volatilizes readily, it can be released into the air inside your house during showers, laundry, or dishwashing as well as remain in the water you use. In many cases you won’t detect it by taste, smell, or sight, so testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s present. If test results show elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your Nash home is a practical next step.
VOCs such as 1,1-Dichloroethylene are often found at very low concentrations and can fluctuate over time even when water appears clear. Many Nash families choose to reduce exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, bathing—not just at a single tap. A whole-house system delivers treated water consistently to bathrooms, the kitchen, and household appliances, giving a single solution that protects routine water uses around your Florida home.
For removing 1,1-Dichloroethylene, the most effective single-filter whole-house choice is a granular activated carbon (GAC) system. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water passes through the carbon media. Installed at the point of entry, a GAC tank treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and appliances—helping limit both ingestion and the everyday volatilization that can occur in the home.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because sufficient contact time with the carbon is needed to remove VOCs effectively; the system should be matched to your Nash home’s flow rate and typical water use. Carbon media will eventually become exhausted, so routine replacement or re-bedding keeps performance steady. Adding prefiltration protects the carbon from sediment that could reduce effectiveness or increase pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Florida home and recommend a whole-house GAC setup tailored to lower 1,1-Dichloroethylene reliably.
