Including filter system and high-performance 1,2-Dichloroethane filter.
1,2-Dichloroethane is an industrial solvent that can enter drinking water when related chemicals reach a supply. Because it may have no noticeable taste or smell, many Old Town homeowners only discover it through testing. For families in our area who want assurance about water used for cooking, bathing, and laundry, a whole-house system that treats every inlet provides broader protection than a single-point device.
If you’re worried about unhealthy levels of 1,2-dichloroethane in an Old Town well or service line, start by testing so you know exactly what’s present. Different contaminants respond best to different media, and not every “all-purpose” cartridge will reduce solvent-type chemicals. Even when water appears clear at the tap, trace organics can remain, so pick a treatment based on proven performance and the ability to deliver consistent reduction throughout your home.
To reduce 1,2-dichloroethane, the most effective single-filter option is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system built for chemical adsorption. GAC’s large surface area captures many organic compounds as water flows through, and a correctly sized tank provides the contact time needed for reliable removal. Installed at your Old Town property’s point of entry, this approach treats water before it reaches kitchen faucets, showers, and appliances.
A whole-house GAC filter is a passive, non-electric solution that treats water whenever it’s used. To maintain steady performance in an Old Town home, choose a system sized for your household flow and usage because higher demand shortens contact time. Many installations also include a sediment prefilter to keep dirt from fouling the carbon and extend its life. Mr. Pure Water can assess your situation and recommend a whole-house GAC setup focused on reducing 1,2-dichloroethane throughout your property.
