Including filter system and high-performance 1,2-Dichloropropane filter.
1,2-Dichloropropane is a synthetic volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter drinking water where industrial chemicals are present in the environment. As a VOC it can travel with water and sometimes produces a solvent-like smell even when the water looks clear. Homeowners in Fidelis most often learn about it through laboratory testing, a utility notice, or private well sampling — and when results are concerning, treating water at the main incoming line is a smart next step.
Even if a water supply meets broad standards, many Fidelis families choose to target particular VOCs for everyday confidence. 1,2-Dichloropropane won’t be removed by basic sediment cartridges, and typical pitcher filters usually aren’t built to capture this kind of chemical. Because it can affect cooking, bathing and laundering as well as drinking, treating water for the whole house helps ensure consistent reduction across every faucet and appliance.
For treating 1,2-Dichloropropane, the most effective single-filter whole-house choice is an activated carbon system. Systems using high-quality catalytic or coconut-shell activated carbon adsorb many VOCs as water passes through, reducing their concentration before water reaches taps. Since this is a chemical contaminant rather than particulate matter, the carbon media type and contact time are the key factors — not micron ratings — and sizing the system to your home’s flow rate prevents excessive pressure drop.
Mr. Pure Water can match a whole-house carbon filter to your Fidelis water source, whether you’re connected to a municipal supply or a private well. If your water carries visible sediment, adding a prefilter will protect the carbon bed from premature clogging, while the carbon stage provides the primary removal for 1,2-Dichloropropane. Keeping media replaced on schedule preserves adsorption capacity, and installing treatment at the main line delivers filtered water throughout the home instead of only at a single sink.
