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 industrial solvents or related chemicals contaminate groundwater. Because it volatilizes easily, the chemical can move from water into the air inside your home during showers, laundry or dishwashing. It often isn’t detectable by taste, smell or sight, so testing is the usual way to know whether it’s present. If tests show elevated levels, treating the water where it enters a Wausau house is an effective step homeowners often take to reduce exposure.
Even clear water can contain trace VOCs like 1,1-Dichloroethylene, which are measured at very low concentrations and may change over time. Many families in Wausau choose to limit exposure for everyday uses — cooking, brushing teeth and bathing — rather than only at one sink. A whole-house system gives consistent treated water throughout the kitchen, baths and appliances, so the same protection applies to all routine uses in your home.
The most effective single-filter option for reducing 1,1-Dichloroethylene is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter. GAC media adsorbs a range of VOCs as water flows through the carbon bed, and when installed at the point of entry it conditions water before it reaches showers, faucets and household equipment. This method addresses both ingestion risks and the everyday volatilization that can occur during bathing and other water use in Wausau homes.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because adequate contact time improves VOC removal, so the system should be chosen to match your home’s flow rate and water demand. Carbon media also reaches capacity and requires periodic replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance. Using prefiltration ahead of the carbon protects the bed from sediment that can reduce efficiency and cause pressure loss. Mr. Pure Water in Wausau can help recommend and install a whole-house carbon system tailored to your household needs to focus on lowering 1,1-Dichloroethylene.
