Including filter system and high-performance 1,1-Dichloroethylene filter.
1,1-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter groundwater when industrial solvents or related chemicals contaminate nearby areas. 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 Sewall's Point and elsewhere often can’t detect it by taste, smell, or sight, so testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s present. If testing shows elevated levels, treating the water at the point it enters your house is a practical next step.
VOCs like 1,1-dichloroethylene are measured in tiny concentrations and can fluctuate, so clear-looking water doesn’t guarantee the absence of contaminants. Many families on the Treasure Coast prefer reducing exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, bathing—not just at a single faucet. A whole-house system gives consistent treated water throughout Sewall's Point homes, protecting bathrooms, the kitchen, and appliances and helping prevent VOCs from volatilizing during regular use.
A whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the most effective single-filter choice for reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water moves through the carbon media, and when installed as a point-of-entry system it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and household appliances. For coastal, humid Sewall's Point properties—where hard water and mineral scale can already stress plumbing—a GAC tank at the main supply helps address both ingestion and everyday uses where VOCs might otherwise release into indoor air.
Correctly sizing the GAC tank is important because contact time with the carbon determines VOC removal effectiveness; the system should match your home’s peak flow and water use. Carbon media eventually becomes exhausted, so routine replacement or re-bedding is necessary to maintain performance. Using a sediment prefilter will protect the carbon bed from the hard, mineral-rich water common in Martin County and reduce pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Sewall's Point home and recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to lower 1,1-dichloroethylene reliably.
