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, it may affect both the water you use and the air in your home during showers, laundry, or dishwashing. It often has no noticeable taste, smell, or color, so testing is usually required to determine whether it’s present. If testing for your New Harmony residence shows elevated levels, treating the water at the point where it comes into your house is a sensible next step.
VOCs like 1,1-dichloroethylene are monitored in very small concentrations and can fluctuate over time, so clear-looking water isn’t always an assurance of safety. Many families in New Harmony choose to lower exposure for daily activities such as cooking, teeth brushing, and bathing, rather than limiting treatment to a single tap. A whole-house solution keeps treated water consistent throughout bathrooms, the kitchen, and appliances, providing a single system that protects routine use across the entire home.
To reduce 1,1-dichloroethylene, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically the most effective single-filter option. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water flows through the carbon media. Installed at the point of entry, a GAC tank treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and household appliances—helping address both ingestion risks and VOCs that can volatilize during everyday use in New Harmony homes.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because contact time with the carbon determines how well VOCs are removed; the system should match your home’s flow rate and water demand. Carbon media also requires periodic replacement or re-bedding to maintain effectiveness as it becomes exhausted, and adding prefiltration can shield the carbon bed from sediment that would otherwise reduce efficiency and increase pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can work with New Harmony homeowners to choose a whole-house carbon setup tailored to their plumbing and usage patterns to help lower 1,1-dichloroethylene reliably.
