Including filter system and high-performance 1,1-Dichloroethylene filter.
1,1-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can reach groundwater when certain industrial solvents or related chemicals contaminate nearby sites. Because it vaporizes easily, the chemical can move from water into the air during showers, laundry and dishwashing — so it can affect both what you drink and the air inside your home. It’s typically not detectable by taste, smell or sight, which is why testing is the usual way to know whether it’s present. If testing shows elevated levels, addressing the supply where water enters your Southchase house is a sensible next step.
VOCs like 1,1-dichloroethylene are often found in very low concentrations and can fluctuate over time, so clear-looking water doesn’t guarantee it’s absent. Many families in the Orlando area prefer to reduce exposure across everyday uses — cooking, brushing teeth and bathing — rather than treating a single faucet. A whole-house system brings the same treated water to showers, the kitchen and appliances, which is especially convenient for Southchase homes where hard groundwater can also contribute to mineral scale and affect plumbing and water-using appliances.
For whole-home reduction of 1,1-dichloroethylene, a granular activated carbon (GAC) point-of-entry filter is widely regarded as the single most effective single-filter option. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water flows through the carbon media, so installing it at the main line treats water before it reaches showers, sinks and household appliances. That makes it a practical choice for Southchase homeowners who want one filtration solution that limits both ingestion and volatilization of VOCs throughout the house.
Correct sizing of a GAC tank is important because the contact time between water and carbon directly affects VOC removal; the system should match your home’s flow rate and daily water use. Carbon media will become exhausted over time, so routine replacement or re-bedding is necessary to maintain performance. Adding prefiltration helps keep sediment out of the carbon bed, preserving efficiency and reducing pressure loss — a useful consideration where hard Orlando-area groundwater can contribute mineral particles. Mr. Pure Water can help Southchase homeowners pick and size a whole-house GAC configuration focused on reliably lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene.
