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 are present. Because it readily volatilizes, it can move from water into the air inside your home during showers, laundry or dishwashing. It usually won’t change the taste, smell or appearance of water, so the only reliable way to know if it’s there is through testing. If lab results show elevated 1,1-dichloroethylene, many Whites Landing homeowners choose to treat the water at the point it enters the house.
VOCs like 1,1-dichloroethylene can be present at very low concentrations and may fluctuate over time, even when water looks clear. Many families in and around Whites Landing prefer to lower exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, bathing—not just at a single faucet. A whole-house solution provides treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances throughout the home, giving consistent protection across daily routines in our humid subtropical Florida climate.
For treating 1,1-dichloroethylene, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the most effective single-filter option. GAC works by adsorbing many VOCs as water flows through the carbon media, and when installed as a point-of-entry system it treats water before it reaches showers, sinks and appliances. That makes it practical for Whites Landing homes that want to address both ingestion and the vapor transfer that can happen during everyday water use.
Sizing a GAC tank correctly is important because contact time with the carbon affects VOC removal, so the system should match your home’s flow rate and water usage. Carbon media also requires routine replacement or re-bedding to maintain performance as it becomes exhausted, and using prefiltration can protect the carbon from sediment that would reduce efficiency and increase pressure drop. Mr. Pure Water can work with Whites Landing homeowners to choose a whole-house carbon setup tailored to the house and focused on reliably lowering 1,1-dichloroethylene.
