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 impact a water source. Because it evaporates readily, it can affect both the water you use and the air in your home during showers, laundry, or dishwashing. It typically can’t be seen, tasted, or smelled, so testing is often the only reliable way to know if it’s present. If testing shows elevated levels, many Waukeenah homeowners choose to address the issue where water first comes into the house.
Even when water looks clear, compounds like 1,1-dichloroethylene can be present at very low concentrations that change over time. Families in Waukeenah who want to reduce exposure for everyday activities — cooking, brushing teeth, bathing — often prefer a solution that treats the whole house rather than a single faucet. A point-of-entry system provides consistent treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen, and appliances so you don’t have to manage multiple filters around your home.
For reducing 1,1-dichloroethylene, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is widely regarded as the most effective single-filter option. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water flows through the carbon media, removing contaminants before they reach showers, sinks, and household appliances. Installed at the main water entry, this type of system addresses both ingestion and the everyday volatilization that can occur during normal use in Waukeenah homes.
Correct sizing of a GAC tank is important because sufficient contact time with the carbon is necessary for VOC removal, and the system should match your home’s flow rate and typical water use. Carbon media also requires periodic replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance as it becomes exhausted, and prefiltration helps protect the carbon bed from sediment that can shorten its life and increase pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water can work with Waukeenah homeowners to choose a whole-house GAC setup sized for their household and focused on lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene reliably.
