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 dissolves into aquifers, the contaminant can travel away from its original source and remain in the environment for extended periods. At the levels usually encountered, cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene often has no distinct taste or odor, so the only way to know if it’s present is through testing. If your water test in Casselberry indicates elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, taking steps to reduce exposure throughout the house is a sensible next move.
Contaminants in drinking water affect more than just what you sip—water used for cooking, bathing, and laundry matters too. For homeowners in Casselberry and Seminole County, treating water at the point it enters the home makes the most sense because it protects every faucet and appliance. A whole-house system also helps prevent VOCs like cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene from circulating through plumbing, water heaters, and washers. The result is steadier water quality for everyday tasks across your home, from the kitchen to the bathroom.
The most effective single-filter option for treating cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene in a whole-house setup is an activated carbon system built for VOC reduction. Carbon media adsorbs many organic compounds as water flows through the tank, making it well suited for contaminants in the VOC family. When the tank is properly sized to your household flow, the media provides sufficient contact time to capture more of the compound before water reaches taps. In Casselberry homes this approach runs automatically behind the scenes and protects kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry alike.
Whole-house carbon filters are usually placed on the main water line so all incoming water is treated before it splits to fixtures. Because a system’s effectiveness depends on flow rate, media volume, and water chemistry—especially in Central Florida’s hard groundwater—correct sizing and media selection are important for reliable cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene reduction. Carbon media also has a finite service life and requires periodic replacement to maintain performance. Mr. Pure Water in Casselberry can help size the right whole-house carbon system for your home and verify improvements with follow-up testing if you’d like.
