Including filter system and high-performance 1,1-Dichloroethylene filter.
1,1-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter groundwater when certain industrial solvents or related chemicals contaminate the source. Because it volatilizes readily, it can impact both the water you drink and the air in your home when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. It’s not usually detectable by taste, smell, or sight, so testing is the reliable way to know if it’s present. If lab results show elevated levels, treating the water at the point it enters your Two Egg home is a sensible next step.
VOCs like 1,1-dichloroethylene can be a concern even when tap water appears crystal clear because they’re measured in very small concentrations and can fluctuate over time. Many Two Egg families choose to reduce exposure during everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, bathing—rather than relying on a single treated faucet. A whole-house system delivers consistent treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen, and appliances, giving you one solution that protects routine use throughout the home.
For treating 1,1-dichloroethylene at the point of entry, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically the most effective single-filter option. GAC media adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through the carbon, reducing the chance these compounds reach showers and taps where they can volatilize. Installed for the entire house in Two Egg, a GAC point-of-entry system treats water before it reaches plumbing fixtures and household appliances, addressing both ingestion and everyday household exposures.
Sizing the GAC tank correctly is important because adequate contact time with the carbon is key to removing VOCs reliably, so the system should match your home’s flow rate and water use. Carbon media will become exhausted over time, so routine replacement or re-bedding is necessary to maintain performance. Adding prefiltration can protect the carbon bed from sediment that would otherwise shorten its life and increase pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water in Two Egg can help you choose a whole-house carbon setup sized for your household and focused on lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene effectively.
