Carbon Tetrachloride in Holiday Manor Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Carbon Tetrachloride in the Water Supply of Holiday Manor Florida Homes

Carbon tetrachloride is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter drinking water when industrial chemicals or stored solvents reach groundwater. You may also see it named tetrachloromethane on lab reports. As a VOC it can travel with water and sometimes becomes noticeable when water is aerated at the tap, but taste or smell aren’t reliable ways to know it’s present. The best way to be sure is to have your Holiday Manor water tested so you know exactly what’s in your supply.

Even crystal-clear water can hold dissolved VOCs, which is why many Holiday Manor homeowners choose treatment at the point where water enters the house. A whole-house system protects every use—drinking, cooking, showers, laundry and cleaning—and reduces the chance that volatile compounds will be released into the air during bathing or dishwashing. If your test shows carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloromethane, look for a solution built specifically for VOC reduction rather than a simple sediment-only filter.
