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 evaporates, it can move from water into the air inside your home during showers, laundry, and dishwashing. You generally can’t rely on taste, smell, or clarity to detect it, 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 Open Sands home is a sensible next step.
VOCs like 1,1-dichloroethylene are often measured at very low concentrations and can fluctuate over time, so clear-looking water isn’t a guarantee of safety. Many homeowners in Open Sands choose to reduce exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, bathing—rather than only treating a single faucet. A whole-house solution delivers consistent treatment across kitchens, bathrooms, and appliances, making it easier to protect your family throughout the home.
For treating 1,1-dichloroethylene, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically the most effective single-filter choice. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water passes through the carbon media, and when installed at the point of entry it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and household machines. This helps reduce both ingestion risks and the chance that VOCs will volatilize into indoor air during normal water use in your Open Sands residence.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because contact time determines how well VOCs are removed; the system should match your home’s flow rate and daily water demand. Carbon media also needs periodic replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance as it becomes exhausted, and adding a prefilter can protect the carbon from sediment that reduces efficiency and raises pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can help Open Sands homeowners choose and size a whole-house GAC system that fits the house and focuses on lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene reliably.
