Carbon Tetrachloride in Frink Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Carbon Tetrachloride in the Water Supply of Frink Florida Homes

Carbon tetrachloride is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can reach drinking water when industrial chemicals or stored solvents enter groundwater. You may also see it listed as tetrachloromethane on lab reports. As a VOC it can travel with water and sometimes becomes noticeable when water is aerated at the tap, although taste or smell aren’t reliable detectors. If you live in Frink and are worried about what’s in your water, the surest way to know is to have it tested.

Because VOCs can dissolve into water without visible signs, many homeowners in Frink choose treatment where water enters the house so every faucet and appliance is covered. A whole-house system protects drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry and reduces the chance that volatile compounds will be released into the air during showers or dishwashing. If testing shows carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloromethane in your supply, pick a system engineered for VOC reduction rather than a simple sediment or particulate filter.
