Including filter system and high-performance 1,1-Dichloroethylene filter.
1,1-dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can reach drinking water when industrial solvents or related chemicals migrate into groundwater. Because it evaporates readily, it can move from water into the air inside your home during showers, laundry and dishwashing. It usually won’t change how water looks, tastes or smells, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present is testing. If your results show elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your Rich Bay home is a common next step to reduce exposure.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene can be present at very low concentrations and may fluctuate over time, so clear water isn’t a guarantee of safety. Many families in Rich Bay choose to limit exposure for everyday tasks — cooking, brushing teeth and bathing — rather than treating a single faucet. A whole-house system provides consistent protection for bathrooms, the kitchen and household appliances, giving you one solution that covers the typical daily uses of your home’s water.
The most effective single-filter whole-house option for reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene is a granular activated carbon (GAC) tank. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water passes through the carbon media, and when installed at the point of entry it treats the water before it reaches showers, sinks and appliances. For Rich Bay homes seeking a single-filter approach, a properly designed GAC point-of-entry system is the typical recommendation to address both ingestion and household volatilization.
Correct sizing of a GAC tank is important because contact time between water and carbon affects VOC removal, so the system should match your home’s flow rate and usage patterns. Carbon media will eventually exhaust and needs periodic replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance, and adding prefiltration helps keep sediment out of the carbon bed to prevent pressure loss and reduced efficiency. Mr. Pure Water can work with Rich Bay homeowners to choose and size a whole-house GAC setup that fits local needs and focuses on lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene reliably.
