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 leach into groundwater. Because it can dissolve and travel through aquifers, the source may not be obvious and the compound can persist over time. At common concentrations homeowners usually won’t detect it by taste or smell, so testing is the reliable way to know if it’s present. If your Bratt home’s water testing shows elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, it’s reasonable to consider steps to lower exposure throughout the house.
Water used for cooking, bathing and laundry matters just as much as water you drink, so treating at the point where water enters a Bratt home treats every tap. Addressing VOCs like cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene with a whole-house solution prevents contaminants from circulating through fixtures, appliances and hot water systems. The result is consistent water quality for everyday tasks across the house rather than relying on a single filtered faucet or pitcher.
For treating cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene in a whole-house setup, the best single-filter option is an activated carbon system sized for VOC reduction. Carbon media adsorbs many organic compounds as water flows through the tank, giving the contact needed to capture more of this compound before it reaches your taps. When correctly sized for a Bratt home’s flow rates, an activated carbon tank works automatically in the background to protect kitchens, bathrooms and laundry at once.
A whole-house carbon filter is usually fitted on the main water line so treated water is delivered to every branch of the plumbing. Because effective reduction of cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene depends on flow rate, media volume and water chemistry, proper sizing and periodic media replacement are essential to maintain performance. Mr. Pure Water in Bratt can help pick the right whole-house carbon system for your home and arrange follow-up testing to confirm the results.
