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 readily evaporates, it can move from water into the air inside your home during showers, laundry and dishwashing. It often shows no obvious taste, smell or color, so testing is the reliable way to know if it’s present. If your Sanlanta household’s test results show elevated levels, addressing the contamination where water enters the house is a practical next step.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are measured at very low concentrations and can fluctuate, so clear-looking water isn’t proof of safety. Many families in Sanlanta prefer reducing exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth and bathing—not only at a single faucet. A whole-house solution delivers consistent treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances across your home, offering a simple way to lower household-wide exposure in our humid subtropical Florida climate.
For removing 1,1-dichloroethylene, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is the most effective single-filter option. Granular activated carbon adsorbs many volatile organic compounds as water flows through the media. When installed at the point of entry, a GAC system treats water before it reaches showers, sinks and appliances, helping to reduce both ingestion and the VOCs that could volatilize into indoor air in Sanlanta homes.
Sizing the GAC tank correctly is important because longer contact time improves VOC removal; the system should match your home’s flow rate and typical water use. Carbon media will become exhausted over time, so routine replacement or re-bedding is needed to maintain performance. Adding prefiltration protects the carbon bed from sediment that can shorten life and increase pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can work with Sanlanta homeowners to choose a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your house and focused on consistently lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene.
