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 move from water into indoor air during showers, laundry and dishwashing, so the concern isn’t only what you drink. It’s often undetectable by taste, smell or sight, making testing the only reliable way to know if it’s in your supply. If your Navy Point household sees elevated levels, addressing the water where it enters the home is a common next step.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene can be present even when water looks perfectly clear because they’re measured at very low concentrations and can fluctuate over time. Many families in Navy Point choose to reduce exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, bathing—and not just at a single tap. A whole-house system delivers treated water to all bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances, giving consistent protection throughout your home and simplifying maintenance compared with multiple point-of-use units.
The most effective single-filter whole-house option for reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene is a granular activated carbon (GAC) point-of-entry system. GAC media adsorbs many VOCs as water passes through, removing contaminants before water reaches showers, sinks and household appliances. Installed at the home’s main line, this style of system helps limit both ingestion and volatilization of 1,1-dichloroethylene during routine use.
Sizing the GAC tank correctly is important because contact time with the carbon affects VOC removal; the system should be matched to your home’s flow rate and water demand. Carbon media also needs periodic replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance as it becomes exhausted, and using prefiltration protects the carbon bed from sediment that can reduce efficiency or raise pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Navy Point property and recommend a whole-house GAC setup tailored to your plumbing and usage patterns to help lower 1,1-dichloroethylene reliably.
