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 or related wastes reach groundwater or supply sources. Because it often has no noticeable taste or smell, you may not detect it without testing. Many Sears homeowners prefer a whole-house approach so drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry water are all treated — especially in Osceola County where homeowners want confidence that every tap provides safer, better water for their families and appliances.
If you suspect unsafe levels of 1,2-dichloroethane, start by having your water tested and then choose a filter designed for that result. Not all cartridges or so-called 'all-purpose' systems are effective against solvent-type chemicals, so pick media proven for this contaminant rather than relying on appearance alone. The aim is steady reduction throughout your Sears home so you don’t have to change how you cook, bathe or do laundry to avoid exposure.
For 1,2-dichloroethane, the most effective single-filter choice is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system made for chemical adsorption. GAC’s large surface area captures many organic solvents as water flows through, and a correctly sized tank gives the contact time adsorption needs to work reliably. Installed at the point of entry, a GAC unit treats water before it reaches kitchens, bathrooms and appliances across your Sears property, helping protect plumbing and equipment in our hard-water Central Florida conditions.
A whole-house GAC filter is a passive, non-electric way to reduce 1,2-dichloroethane every time water is used. Systems should be selected for your household’s flow rate and usage because higher demand can shorten contact time and affect performance. In many Sears homes a sediment prefilter is added ahead of the carbon to trap grit and extend media life. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Osceola County home’s needs and recommend the right whole-house GAC configuration to target 1,2-dichloroethane.
