Including filter system and high-performance 1,1-Dichloroethylene filter.
1,1-dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can reach groundwater when industrial solvents or related chemicals enter the supply. Because it readily evaporates, it can leave the water and enter the air during showers, dishwashing, and laundry — not just affect what you drink. It typically has no obvious taste, smell, or color, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present is through testing. If your Turkey Foot well or utility results show elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your home is a sensible next step.
VOCs like 1,1-dichloroethylene can be present in very small amounts and fluctuate over time, so clear water isn’t proof of safety. Many Turkey Foot families choose to reduce exposure from everyday activities — cooking, brushing teeth, bathing — rather than limit treatment to a single faucet. A whole-house system delivers treated water across bathrooms, the kitchen, and appliances, giving consistent protection for routine uses throughout your home in our humid subtropical climate.
For removing 1,1-dichloroethylene, the most effective single whole-house option is a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water moves through the carbon media. Installed at the point of entry, a GAC tank treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and household appliances — helping prevent VOCs from volatilizing into indoor air as well as reducing what’s ingested.
Correct sizing of a GAC tank is important because VOC removal depends on sufficient contact time; the system should match your home’s flow rate and daily water use. In Turkey Foot, where hard water from limestone aquifers can cause limescale, protecting the carbon with prefiltration helps keep sediment and scale from reducing performance and increasing pressure loss. Carbon media will also need periodic replacement or re-bedding as it becomes exhausted. Mr. Pure Water can recommend and install a whole-house GAC setup tailored to your home to reliably target 1,1-dichloroethylene.
