Including filter system and high-performance 1,1-Dichloroethylene filter.
1,1-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter groundwater when industrial solvents or related chemicals move into the environment. Because it evaporates readily, it can affect the air in your home during showers, laundry and dishwashing as well as the water you drink. Often there are no obvious tastes, smells or visible signs, so testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s present. If lab results for your Parramore home show elevated levels, treating the water where it enters the house is a practical next step.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are measured at very low concentrations and can fluctuate over time, so clear-looking water in your Parramore home isn’t a guarantee of absence. Many families prefer to reduce exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth and bathing—not just at a single faucet. A whole-house solution delivers consistent treatment to bathrooms, the kitchen and household appliances, giving you one system that protects routine use across the entire home.
To lower 1,1-dichloroethylene throughout your home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the most effective single-filter choice. GAC media adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through the carbon, and when installed at the point of entry it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks and appliances. For Parramore residents who want to reduce both ingestion and vapors released during everyday activities, a point-of-entry GAC system is the standard recommended option.
Correct sizing of a GAC tank is important because contact time with the carbon affects VOC removal, so the system should match your Parramore home’s flow rate and household water use. Carbon media will eventually become exhausted and requires periodic replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance. Adding a prefilter helps protect the carbon bed from sediment that can shorten its life and raise pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can guide you toward a whole-house carbon setup designed for your home that focuses on reliably reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene.
