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 affect groundwater. Because it evaporates easily, it can move from water into the air during showers, laundry and dishwashing, so the issue isn’t limited to what you drink. Most homeowners in Piedmont won’t detect it by taste, smell or sight, which is why a local water test is the reliable way to know whether it’s present and whether treatment at the point where water enters your house is needed.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are measured at very low concentrations and can fluctuate, so clear-looking water doesn’t guarantee safety. Many Piedmont families choose to lower exposure across everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth and bathing—not just at a single faucet. A whole-house system delivers consistent treatment to bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances, making it a practical choice in our North Florida community where water hardness and mineral content can vary by neighborhood and source.
The most effective single-filter option for reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water flows through the carbon media, and when installed as a point-of-entry system it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks and household appliances. For Piedmont homes concerned about VOCs volatilizing during everyday use, a properly installed GAC tank targets both ingestion and airborne exposure from water use.
Sizing the GAC tank correctly is important because contact time with the carbon affects VOC removal; the system should match your home’s flow rate and typical water use. Carbon media will eventually become exhausted, so routine replacement or re-bedding is necessary to maintain performance. In Piedmont, where moderate hardness and varying source water are common, adding prefiltration helps protect the carbon bed from sediment and reduces pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can assess your property and recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your home to reliably reduce 1,1-dichloroethylene.
