1,1-Dichloroethylene in Vineland Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of 1,1-Dichloroethylene in the Water Supply of Vineland Florida Homes

1,1-dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can reach water supplies when industrial solvents or related chemicals enter groundwater. Because it vaporizes readily, it may affect the air in your home during showers, laundry and dishwashing as well as the water you consume. It usually won’t change taste, smell or appearance, so testing is the most reliable way to know if it’s present. If test results in your Broward County area come back elevated, treating the water where it enters your Vineland house is a practical next step.

VOCs like 1,1-dichloroethylene are measured at very small concentrations and can fluctuate, so clear-looking water doesn’t guarantee absence. Many families in Vineland choose to limit exposure for everyday uses—cooking, brushing teeth and bathing—not only at one faucet but throughout the home. A whole-house solution provides consistent treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances, which is helpful in a Broward County climate where warm temperatures can increase volatilization and scaling in plumbing.
