1,1-Dichloroethylene in Orange Blossom Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of 1,1-Dichloroethylene in the Water Supply of Orange Blossom Florida Homes

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 evaporates, it can move from water into the air inside your home during showers, laundry and dishwashing. It usually has no noticeable taste, smell or color, so testing is the only sure way to detect it. If a test shows elevated levels, treating water where it enters your Orange Blossom home is a sensible next step.

VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are often found at very low concentrations that can fluctuate over time, so clear-looking water isn’t a reliable indicator of safety. Many Lake County families prefer reducing exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth and bathing—rather than addressing only one tap. A whole-house system provides the same treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances across your Orange Blossom property, giving consistent protection throughout the home.
