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 volatilizes, this contaminant can affect both the water you use and the air in your home during showers, laundry, or dishwashing. It usually isn’t detectable by taste, smell, or sight, so testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s present. If test results show elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your Scanlon home is a sensible step to reduce household exposure.
VOCs such as 1,1-Dichloroethylene are often measured at very low concentrations and can fluctuate, so even clear-looking water can be a concern. Many Scanlon families choose to lower exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, and bathing—not only at a single faucet. A whole-house solution delivers treated water across bathrooms, the kitchen, and appliances, offering consistent protection for routine use throughout your home.
To reduce 1,1-Dichloroethylene, the most effective single-filter whole-house option is a granular activated carbon (GAC) system. GAC media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds as water passes through the carbon, and when installed at the point where water enters the home it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and household appliances. This method helps address both ingestion risks and VOCs that can volatilize into indoor air in Scanlon homes.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because adequate contact time determines VOC removal performance; the system should match your home’s flow rate and daily water use. Carbon media will eventually become exhausted and needs regular replacement or re-bedding to maintain effectiveness. Using a prefilter can protect the carbon bed from sediment that would reduce efficiency and raise pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can work with Scanlon homeowners to choose a whole-house carbon setup tailored to their household and focused on reliably lowering 1,1-Dichloroethylene.
