Including filter system and high-performance cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene filter.
cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter drinking water when some industrial solvents and degreasers break down and leach into groundwater. Because it dissolves and can move with subsurface water, contamination may travel away from its source and persist over time. At typical concentrations you usually can’t detect it by taste or smell, so testing is the reliable way to know if it’s present. Arran homeowners who get a positive result should consider steps to lower household exposure.
Water used for cooking, showering, and laundry matters just as much as water you drink. Treating at the point where water enters your home in Arran ensures that every faucet, shower and appliance receives the same protection. A whole-house strategy also helps keep contaminants from circulating through pipes and appliances, giving you more consistent water quality for everyday tasks rather than relying on a single tap filter or pitcher.
The most effective single-filter whole-house option for cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene is an activated carbon system made for VOC removal. Carbon media adsorbs many organic compounds as water flows through the tank, providing the contact needed to capture these contaminants before they reach fixtures. When sized correctly for your home’s flow needs, an activated carbon whole-house filter works automatically in the background to protect kitchens, bathrooms and laundry areas.
A whole-house carbon filter is installed on the main supply so incoming water is treated before it branches throughout an Arran house. Performance depends on flow rate, media volume and overall water chemistry, so proper sizing and selection are key to reliably reducing cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene. Carbon also has a finite service life and requires periodic replacement to maintain adsorption capacity. Mr. Pure Water can help you pick the right whole-house carbon system for your home and offer follow-up testing to verify results if you’d like.
