Including filter system and high-performance cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene filter.
Cis-1,2-dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter groundwater when certain industrial solvents or degreasers break down near a water source. Because it dissolves in water, the compound can travel away from its original release point and remain in the environment for a long time. At the levels homeowners typically encounter, you usually won’t notice it by smell or taste, so testing is the reliable way to know if it’s present. If your Dixonville well or supply testing shows elevated cis-1,2-dichloroethylene, it’s wise to consider steps that reduce household exposure.
Contaminant concerns aren’t limited to drinking a glass of water — water used for cooking, showering and laundry all affect your household’s exposure. Treating water where it enters a Dixonville home ensures every faucet and appliance receives the same protection, preventing VOCs like cis-1,2-dichloroethylene from circulating through plumbing and appliances. A whole-house strategy delivers consistent water quality across daily routines so you’re not relying on point-of-use devices at a single sink.
The most effective single-filter option for whole-house removal of cis-1,2-dichloroethylene is an activated carbon system engineered for VOC reduction. Carbon media adsorbs many organic contaminants as water passes through, giving those compounds a chance to stick to the media rather than traveling on to your taps. In a properly sized tank the contact time is sufficient to capture a meaningful portion of the compound before water reaches kitchen, bath, and laundry fixtures, and the system operates automatically in the background.
A whole-house carbon filter is installed on the main water line so incoming water to your Dixonville property is treated before it splits to the rest of the house. Performance hinges on correct sizing for flow rate, media volume and local water chemistry, and carbon does exhaust over time, so scheduled media replacement is necessary to maintain effectiveness. Mr. Pure Water can help choose the right whole-house carbon system for your home and arrange follow-up testing to verify reduction if you’d like.
