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 volatilizes, it can affect both the water coming from your taps and the air in your home during showers, laundry or dishwashing. It usually isn’t noticeable by taste, smell or appearance, so testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s present. If a lab report shows concerning levels, treating the water where it enters your Ojus house is the most effective way to protect everyone who lives there.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are often found in tiny concentrations and can fluctuate over time even when water looks clear. Many families in Miami-Dade County choose to limit exposure for everyday activities — cooking, brushing teeth and bathing — rather than isolate treatment to a single faucet. A whole-house solution gives consistent treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances across your Ojus home, which is especially useful in our hot, humid climate where frequent showers and laundry can increase opportunities for VOCs to volatilize into indoor air.
For whole-house reduction of 1,1-dichloroethylene, a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter installed at the point of entry is typically the most effective single-filter option. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs onto the carbon media as water passes through, treating water before it reaches showers, faucets and appliances. Installing a GAC tank for an Ojus residence helps address both ingestion and the everyday household uses where VOCs might otherwise escape into the air.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly matters because adequate contact time is key for removing VOCs; the system should match your home’s flow rate and water use. In Ojus and surrounding neighborhoods with hard municipal water, prefiltration can protect the carbon bed from mineral scale and sediment that would reduce efficiency and increase pressure loss. Like all carbon media, the GAC needs periodic replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance. Mr. Pure Water can assess your property — whether you’re near Greynolds Park, Aventura Mall or the Biscayne Bay campus — and recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to lower 1,1-dichloroethylene for your household.
