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 certain industrial solvents or related chemicals reach groundwater. Because it volatilizes easily, it can move from water into the air inside your home during showers, laundry or dishwashing. It usually isn’t noticeable by taste, smell or appearance, so testing is the only reliable way to find it. If tests show elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your Sunset residence is often the best next step to reduce exposure throughout the house.
VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are typically detected at very low concentrations and can fluctuate over time, so clear-looking water isn’t proof it’s absent. Many Sunset families want to lower exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth and bathing—not just at a single sink. A point-of-entry whole-house system delivers treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances, offering one consistent solution for the entire home in our humid subtropical climate and the hard-water conditions common to Miami-Dade County.
The most effective single whole-house option for reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene is a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water passes through the carbon media, and when installed at the point of entry it treats water before it reaches showers, faucets and household appliances—helping limit both ingestion and the volatilization that can occur during everyday use in Sunset homes.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because adequate contact time with the carbon is needed to remove VOCs effectively, and the system should match your home’s flow rate and typical water use. Carbon media becomes exhausted over time, so routine replacement or re-bedding is necessary to maintain performance. Adding prefiltration can protect the carbon from sediment—especially useful in hard water areas of Miami-Dade County—to prevent reduced efficiency and higher pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can help Sunset homeowners choose a whole-house carbon setup that fits their plumbing and focuses on lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene consistently.
