Including filter system and high-performance 1,2-Dichloroethane filter.
1,2-Dichloroethane is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when industrial chemicals reach source supplies. Because it typically has no noticeable taste or smell, many families in Orlando only learn about it through testing. Homeowners who want reliable protection for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry often choose a point-of-entry solution so every faucet and appliance receives the same treated water.
If you’re worried about 1,2-Dichloroethane in your Orlando-area water, start by testing so you know what needs to be removed and in what amounts. Different contaminants respond to different media, and not all “general purpose” cartridges will address solvent-type chemicals effectively. Even with clear water, trace organics can be present, so pick a system based on verified performance. The aim is steady reduction throughout the house without changing how you use plumbing in places like Downtown Orlando, College Park, or Lake Nona.
For reducing 1,2-Dichloroethane in homes, the single most effective whole-house option is a granular activated carbon (GAC) system sized for point-of-entry installation. GAC works by adsorbing organic chemicals as water flows through its high-surface-area media, and a correctly sized carbon tank provides the contact time necessary for reliable removal. Installed where water enters the home, a GAC system treats supply to kitchens, bathrooms and appliances before it reaches taps or fixtures.
A whole-house GAC filter is a low-maintenance, non-electric step that treats water automatically whenever it’s used. In Orlando’s humid subtropical climate — where seasonal heavy rains and biofilm potential in plumbing can affect source water — choose a system matched to your household flow so contact time isn’t compromised by high demand. Many installations also include a sediment prefilter upstream to protect the carbon from clogging. Mr. Pure Water can assess your home’s needs and recommend the right whole-house GAC configuration for Orange County residences.
