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 volatilizes easily, it can affect the air in your home during showers, laundry and dishwashing as well as the water you drink. Homeowners in Richter Crossroads often can’t detect it by taste, smell or appearance, so lab testing is usually required to know whether it’s present. If testing shows elevated levels, treating the water where it comes into your house is a practical step.
VOCs like 1,1-dichloroethylene can be a concern even when water looks crystal clear because they’re measured in very small amounts and concentrations can change over time. Many families around Richter Crossroads choose to reduce exposure for everyday uses—cooking, brushing teeth and bathing—rather than limiting treatment to a single faucet. A whole-house system delivers consistent treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances, giving one dependable solution for the whole home’s daily routines.
To lower 1,1-dichloroethylene in household water, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically the most effective single-filter option. Activated carbon adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through the media, removing contaminants before they reach showers, sinks and appliances. Installed at the point of entry, a GAC system helps address both ingestion and the volatilization that can occur during regular household use in Richter Crossroads homes.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because contact time with the carbon determines how well VOCs are removed; the system should match your Richter Crossroads home’s flow rate and typical water use. Carbon media eventually becomes exhausted, so routine replacement or re-bedding is needed to maintain performance. Adding prefiltration can protect the carbon from sediment that shortens its life and increases pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can help you choose a whole-house carbon setup sized for your house and focused on reliably reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene.
