Including filter system and high-performance 1,2-Dichloroethane filter.
1,2-Dichloroethane is a synthetic solvent that can enter water supplies when industrial chemicals reach source water. Because it often has no noticeable taste or smell, it can remain undetected without testing. Many New Harmony homeowners prefer a solution that safeguards the entire house—so water used for drinking, cooking, showering and laundry is treated before it reaches faucets and appliances.
If you’re worried about possible 1,2-Dichloroethane in your New Harmony water, start by testing to see what’s actually present and then pick a filter designed for those results. Not all cartridges remove solvent-type chemicals effectively, so choose treatment based on verified performance rather than how clear the water appears. The aim is steady reduction at every tap while keeping your household plumbing and routines unchanged.
To target 1,2-Dichloroethane, the most reliable single-filter option is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system built for chemical adsorption. GAC’s large surface area adsorbs many organic solvents as water moves through the tank, and a correctly sized unit provides the necessary contact time for effective removal. When installed at the point of entry, a GAC tank treats water for all New Harmony fixtures before it reaches kitchens, baths, and laundry.
A whole-house GAC filter is a simple, non-electric way to treat water automatically whenever it’s used. To maintain reliable performance in New Harmony homes, pick a system matched to your household flow rate and daily water demand—higher flows can shorten contact time and reduce effectiveness. Many installations add a sediment prefilter ahead of the carbon to keep dirt from fouling the media and extend its life.
