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 affect indoor air during showers, washing dishes, or doing laundry as well as the water you consume. It’s often not detectable by taste, smell, or sight, so testing is the reliable way to know if it’s present. If results show elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your Overstreet home is a sensible next step.
VOCs like 1,1-dichloroethylene are typically found at very low concentrations and can fluctuate over time, so clear-looking water isn’t always a guarantee of safety. Many Overstreet families choose to lower exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, and bathing—not only at a single tap. A whole-house system delivers consistent treatment throughout your home, protecting bathrooms, the kitchen, and appliances with one integrated solution that fits routine household use.
For treating 1,1-dichloroethylene, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is widely recommended as the single best filter option. GAC media adsorbs a range of VOCs as water flows through the carbon, removing contaminants before they reach showers, sinks, and appliances. Installed as a point-of-entry system for your Overstreet residence, this method reduces both ingestion risk and the chance that VOCs will volatilize into indoor air during everyday use.
Correct sizing of the GAC tank is important because contact time with the carbon determines how effectively VOCs are removed, so the unit should match your home’s flow rate and water use. The carbon media will become exhausted over time and requires scheduled replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance. Using a prefilter can protect the carbon bed from sediment, preventing efficiency loss and pressure drop. Mr. Pure Water can help Overstreet homeowners choose and size a whole-house carbon system focused on reliably lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene.
