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 certain industrial solvents or degreasers break down and migrate into groundwater. Because it can dissolve and travel beyond the original source, the compound can persist in water supplies over time. At the concentrations most homeowners encounter it usually has no distinct taste or smell, so routine water testing is the main way to detect it. If your Athena household’s test results show elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, it’s sensible to pursue treatment to reduce exposure throughout the home.
Contaminants like cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene matter for more than just drinking—water used for cooking, bathing and laundry can also be a pathway for exposure. Treating water at the point where it enters your Athena home ensures every faucet and appliance receives the same protection, rather than relying on a single filter at the kitchen sink. A whole-house strategy keeps VOCs from circulating through plumbing and appliances, giving you steadier water quality for everyday use.
For removing cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, the most effective single-filter whole-house solution is an activated carbon system formulated for VOC reduction. Carbon media adsorbs many organic contaminants as water flows through the tank, and when the system is sized correctly it provides the contact time needed to capture more of the compound before water reaches fixtures. Installed and maintained properly, a whole-house carbon filter operates quietly in the background to protect kitchens, bathrooms and laundry in Athena homes.
A whole-house carbon filter is usually placed on the main supply line so incoming water is treated before distribution through the house. Because effectiveness depends on factors like flow rate, media volume and water chemistry, choosing the right size is important for dependable reduction of cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene. Carbon media is consumable and requires periodic replacement to restore adsorption capacity. Mr. Pure Water works with Athena homeowners to select the proper whole-house carbon system and can arrange follow-up testing to verify results if you’d like.
