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 often has no noticeable taste or smell, it may go undetected without testing. Many Runnymede homeowners prefer a solution that safeguards the entire house — treating water used for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry — so they have confidence in every tap regardless of appearance.
If you’re worried about 1,2-dichloroethane in your water, start by testing to learn what’s present, then pick a filter that’s effective for that contaminant. Different chemicals need different media, and generic cartridges aren’t always suitable for solvent-type compounds. Even in clear water — common in our humid subtropical Florida climate — trace organics can remain, so choose based on proven removal performance. The aim is steady reduction throughout your Runnymede home without changing how you and your family use plumbing fixtures.
For removing 1,2-dichloroethane, the single most effective whole-house option is a granular activated carbon (GAC) system sized for point-of-entry installation. GAC removes many organic solvent compounds by adsorbing them onto the carbon’s large surface area, and a correctly sized tank gives the water the contact time needed for reliable reduction. Installed where water enters your Runnymede house, a GAC unit treats supply to kitchens, bathrooms and appliances before it reaches any faucet.
A whole-house GAC filter is a low-maintenance, non-electric method that treats water automatically whenever you run a tap. To maintain consistent performance in Runnymede homes, the system must be selected to match household flow rates and typical use, since higher demand can shorten contact time. In many Florida houses we also recommend a sediment prefilter ahead of the carbon to block mineral scale and particulates so the GAC lasts longer. Mr. Pure Water can help size and configure a whole-house GAC setup focused on reducing 1,2-dichloroethane throughout your home.
