Including filter system and high-performance 1,1-Dichloroethylene filter.
1,1-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter water when certain industrial solvents or related chemicals affect groundwater. Because it volatilizes readily, it can move from water into the air during showers, laundry and dishwashing, so it’s not just a drinking-water issue. It usually can’t be seen, tasted, or smelled, which means testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s present. If lab results for your Rosemont property show elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your home is a sensible next step.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are often found at very low concentrations that can fluctuate, so clear-looking water doesn’t guarantee it’s absent. Many Rosemont families prefer to lower exposure across everyday activities like cooking, brushing teeth and bathing rather than limit treatment to a single faucet. A whole-house strategy keeps treated water flowing to bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances, providing consistent protection for the entire household in our humid subtropical Florida climate.
To reduce 1,1-dichloroethylene in your home’s supply, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the most effective single-filter choice. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water passes through the carbon media, and when installed as a point-of-entry system it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks and appliances. That helps limit both ingestion and the everyday volatilization that can occur during normal use in a Rosemont residence.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because VOC removal depends on contact time; the system should match your home’s flow rate and typical water use. Carbon media also needs periodic replacement or re-bedding so performance doesn’t fall off as it becomes exhausted. Adding prefiltration can protect the carbon bed from sediment that would otherwise reduce efficiency and increase pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can work with Rosemont homeowners to pick and install a whole-house GAC solution tailored to their house and focused on reliably lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene.
