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 travel away from its original source and persist, homeowners typically won’t notice it by smell or taste at common concentrations—testing is how it’s usually detected. If your Auburn water test shows elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, consider steps to reduce household exposure throughout your home.
Water used for cooking, bathing, and laundry is part of everyday exposure, so treating only one faucet can leave the rest of the house unprotected. In Auburn homes a point-of-entry, whole-house strategy treats water as it enters so every tap and appliance receives the same protection. This also helps prevent contaminants from circulating through plumbing and household systems, giving more consistent water quality for daily use across the entire house.
The most effective single-filter option for cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene in a whole-house setup is an activated carbon system formulated for VOC reduction. Carbon media adsorbs organic compounds as water flows through the tank, providing contact time needed to capture many VOCs before water reaches fixtures. Installed and sized correctly for your Auburn residence, a whole-house carbon filter works automatically in the background to protect kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry from this class of contaminants.
Whole-house carbon filters are installed on the main supply line so incoming water is treated before it splits to the rest of the home. Performance depends on flow rate, media volume, and water chemistry, so proper sizing and maintenance are important to keep cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene reduction reliable. Carbon media will eventually need replacement to restore adsorption capacity, and Mr. Pure Water can help Auburn homeowners select the right whole-house carbon system and arrange follow-up testing if you’d like verification.
